Lilyma Khan recalls that she desired to be a chef for as long as she can remember. When she was around three years old, she’d watch her father cook for the entire neighbourhood, and the simple dishes would comfort and nourish (滋养) everyone in their area of Taimoor Nagar, New Delhi.
But it turned out that these evenings, filled with food, laughter, and warmth, were limited — at the age of 5, she lost her father, and then her mother within the following six months.
When she was around 11 years old, she was rescued by an NGO. It was here that she received an education for the first time. At the age of 13, she went to another NGO called Kilkari Rainbow Home. There, she got opportunity to give wings to her dreams. After finishing Grade 12, she was able to work at a restaurant thanks to the Creative Services Support Group (CSSG).
“Anand Kapoor, who runs the CSSG, visited our NGO one day. He asked us all about our ambitions, and I expressed my desire to become a chef. He got me a job as a staff cook at an Italian restaurant in Lodhi Road, New Delhi,” recalled Lilyma.
Chef Sadeev Pasricha who has trained Lilyma, has known her for eight years. He says, “She amazes me with everything that she does. She is very clever and works well under pressure. She is a quick learner and works very hard, for almost 12 hours a day,” says Sadeev.
Today, Lilyma also leads a team of 35 people at Dear Donna. With pride in her voice, she says that she stays at her own house today, and has purchased land in Noida and Ghaziabad.
“It’s very easy to take a wrong turn and fall into bad company. Have courage to move ahead in life. From being hungry all the time, I am now able to feed many. You too can achieve your dreams,” says Lilyma.
24. What can we know about Lilyma
A. She was born into a poor family. B. She was brought up by an NGO.
C. She suffered a lot when she was young. D. She first learned to cook from her father.
25. When did Lilyma get the chance to realize her dream
A. At 3. B. At 5. C. At 11. D. At 13.
26. Which words can best describe Lilyma
A. Determined and ambitious. B. Courageous and generous.
C. Curious and enthusiastic. D. Humorous and confident.
27. What message can we get from Lilyma’s story
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Challenges come along with opportunities.
C. It is important for us to have a good friend.
D. Courage and hard work can bring success.

Raising a litter of teething wolf pups (幼崽) is not easy, but the wolves living in Yellowstone National Park are parenting experts. This spring, the park’s biologists shot a video of adult wolves repeatedly returning to their den (窝) with so-called “toys”—in the form of bones and sticks—to keep their little ones happy between meals.
Once they stop eating their mother’s milk, pups rely on adults to go out, hunt, and then bring back food to the den. But when that’s not possible, the adults instead retrieve odd items for the wolf pups to play with.
“Pups wait for food deliveries from successful hunts, but in the absence of food, adults bring ‘toys’,” the park wrote on Facebook. “The behavior of bringing items back to the den may be enhanced from generation to generation and probably helps keep adults from being surrounded by sharp puppy teeth.”
The adult wolves are part of “Mollie’s Pack”, one of ten known wolf packs living within Yellowstone as of January 2023. This particular pack is named after Mollie Beattie, who in 1993 became the first woman to serve as director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
Beattie, who died in 1996, advocated for the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park to help rebalance the ecosystem after the animals were systematically killed within the park Wolf reintroduction was a highly controversial initiative that many people opposed. And yet, Beattie and other wildlife managers ultimately achieved their vision and successfully relocated 41 wolves from western Canada to the park between 1995 and 1997. Today, that number has blossomed to at least 108 wolves living in Yellowstone.
Today, gray wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act in many states. In late 2020, the administration removed the animals from the endangered list. But in February 2022, they were re-listed as endangered after a judge reversed the decision.
28. What does the underlined word “retrieve” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Hide. B. Fetch. C. Decorate. D. Design.
29. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Pups of any kind are playful by nature.
B. Wolves are intelligent enough to make toys.
C. Finding food is becoming harder and harder.
D. Wolves’ “toy-delivery” behavior may be more obvious in later generations.
30. What was Beattie’s contribution
A. She helped rebalance the ecosystem in Yellowstone.
B. She got involved in drawing up the Endangered Species Act.
C. She succeeded in reintroducing 108 wolves to Yellowstone.
D. She established the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
31. What will the author continue talking about
A. The reason why gray wolves were considered as endangered again.
B. The factors that contribute to the wolves’ behavior.
C. People’s response to the Endangered Species Act.
D. The change in gray wolves’ population.
D
Creative people are more likely to make the most of their idle (空闲) time during a typical day by exploring their mind, a new study by University of Arizona researchers suggests.
In the study, the researchers divided the study into two parts. For the first experiment, the researchers asked each participant to sit alone in a room for 10 minutes without any access to digital devices. In the absence of any particular prompt (提示), the participants were asked to speak out their thoughts aloud in real time. The recorded files from 81 participants were then analyzed.
The researchers assessed the participants’ creativity through a thinking test, a lab-based verbal test that measures a person’s ability to think outside of the box. Participants who performed well in the thinking test had thoughts that flowed freely and were associated with one another, often indicated by phrases such as “this reminds me of” or “speaking of which”.
“While many participants had a tendency to jump between seemingly unrelated thoughts, creative individuals showed signs of thinking more associatively,” Raffaeli said, who was a senior author of the paper.
The first experiment also found that creative people were more engaged in their thoughts when they were left alone without distractions (干扰), such as the cellphone and Internet. “Creative people rated themselves as being less bored, even over those 10 minutes. They also spoke more words overall, which indicated that their thoughts were more likely to move freely,” Raffaeli said.
To further prove their initial findings, the researchers extended their study in the context of a much larger span of time—from 2020 to 2023 when many people were alone with their thoughts more often. For the second experiment, over 2,600 adults answered questions through a smartphone app called Mind Window. Participants who self-identified as being creative reported being less bored and more engaged in their thoughts during that period.
The researchers are continuing this line of work using their Mind Window app. They encourage people to download and use the app to help scientists understand how people across the world think in their everyday lives. “Understanding why different people think the way they do may lead to promising interventions to improve health and well-being,” Raffaeli said.
32. What were the participants asked to do in the first experiment
A. Play digital devices for just 10 minutes.
B. Voice their thoughts quickly when asked.
C. Observe and record each other’s performance.
D. Make self-assessment in a thinking test.
33. What was the feature of the creative participants in the study
A. They often had associated ideas.
B. They thought of anything as a reminder.
C. They preferred to sit alone without being distracted.
D. They tended to jump between unrelated thoughts.
34. Why did the researchers encourage people to use Mind Window
A. To analyze their own thoughts. B. To try out the function of the app.
C. To keep track of their thinking. D. To improve their own mental well-being.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Idle Time Makes Creative People
B. Creative Thoughts Appear in Idle Time
C. Creative People Are Less Affected by Distraction
D. Creative People Enjoy Idle Time More Than Others
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

Outdoor camping can be fun and relaxing, but cold nights are no picnic! ___36___ But don’t worry! You can warm up a tent in several different ways.
Hot Water Bottles
Hot water bottles and heat packs are the perfect way to warm up your tent. All you need is a camping stove, or a campfire and a pot. ___37___ With hot water bottles, make sure you get some in various sizes. Grab some mini hot water bottles for your feet, and then get a full-size hot water bottle to hold at night.
Using Leftover Coals
___38___ Let your campfire run its course, and then put it out before bed. Bury the hot coals, and set up your tent on top of where they’re buried. Their heat will radiate through the ground and warm your tent.
Electric Blankets and Heating Carpets
If you don’t plan on shying away from electricity, then electric blankets can keep you comfortable at night. Plus, the heat they radiate can heat the tent for a few hours before you lie on top of them to sleep. You can use them on all types of camping bedding. Don’t put them inside a sleeping bag, though, as that’ll get hot. ___39___
Electric Heating Fans
If you’re okay with electricity, these might do well for you. Electric heating fans and radiators are classic ways to heat a home. ___40___ Just make sure you keep them away from the tent walls. No one wants them to overheat. They need space for the air to circulate well.
A. You can use them to heat a tent, too.
B. Then you can boil the water you need for them.
C. You may be wondering how to heat your tent.
D. It is known that coals are widely used in our life.
E. They work well without being affected in any case.
F. This method works if you’ll set your tent up later than usual.

When I was still a young girl, I used to love going adventuring in the wild. One of my clearest memories from early childhood was when my dad took me along for a trip on a small path that went through the woods near our home. If he was not busy working, my dad would always take me down to the bush every weekend and together we would collect many sticks and stones to add to our collections.
I wasn’t like any ordinary girl as I loved the outdoors even as a young toddler (学步的儿童). I was never fond of colorful dolls and noisy tea parties. Soon I became old enough to venture out on my own. When I ventured forth through the Australian bush land I felt as if I were in heaven. It gave me great joy that I had never felt before. I thought there was nothing more beautiful than feeling the cool air gently brushing across my back. The leaves crunched (嘎吱作响) beneath my feet at every step. I felt as if I were home.
As the sun dipped slowly below the horizon, there was nothing more to do than to head back home. On my way I suddenly heard a screeching sound somewhere in the distance. It was the most horrible sound I had ever heard in my life. Sure enough, I just had to investigate, feeling curious to know what it was that had made this strange sound. In the dead of night, I headed towards where the strange sound came from. While seeking for it, I came across a river. Looking up and down the river; I couldn’t find a way to cross it. In much shame I decided to give up in the end. It was about one o’ clock in the morning and I thought my dad must have got worried.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As I moved away from the river, I did not remember which direction I came from.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After what seemed like hours, I felt a sigh of relief rush through my body.

【原文】W: Andy, as a worker in a large zoo, what is a typical day for you like
M: Basically, I’m on the go all day. Yesterday, I started off by checking a baby camel. Then I went to see a lion.
W: What did you find
M: What worries me is that the lion’s injured back should have got better but it hasn’t. The lion is still in pain. You know, an injured lion is dangerous.
W: What do you think of your job
M: I love this job, but sometimes it’s difficult. Performing an operation on huge animals like elephants is pretty demanding, but what I find the most challenging is working with species that are really unique.
W: If I want to work in this area, what should I do
M: Today, you college students are facing a totally different time. When you finish your zoology degree, you’re qualified to treat pets, but you have to do specialized training. Good luck in your future career!
W: OK. Thanks for your guidance!

Lilyma Khan recalls that she desired to be a chef for as long as she can remember. When she was around three years old, she’d watch her father cook for the entire neighbourhood, and the simple dishes would comfort and nourish (滋养) everyone in their area of Taimoor Nagar, New Delhi.
But it turned out that these evenings, filled with food, laughter, and warmth, were limited — at the age of 5, she lost her father, and then her mother within the following six months.
When she was around 11 years old, she was rescued by an NGO. It was here that she received an education for the first time. At the age of 13, she went to another NGO called Kilkari Rainbow Home. There, she got opportunity to give wings to her dreams. After finishing Grade 12, she was able to work at a restaurant thanks to the Creative Services Support Group (CSSG).
“Anand Kapoor, who runs the CSSG, visited our NGO one day. He asked us all about our ambitions, and I expressed my desire to become a chef. He got me a job as a staff cook at an Italian restaurant in Lodhi Road, New Delhi,” recalled Lilyma.
Chef Sadeev Pasricha, who has trained Lilyma, has known her for eight years. He says, “She amazes me with everything that she does. She is very clever and works well under pressure. She is a quick learner and works very hard, for almost 12 hours a day,” says Sadeev.
Today, Lilyma also leads a team of 35 people at Dear Donna. With pride in her voice, she says that she stays at her own house today, and has purchased land in Noida and Ghaziabad.
“It’s very easy to take a wrong turn and fall into bad company. Have courage to move ahead in life. From being hungry all the time, I am now able to feed many. You too can achieve your dreams,” says Lilyma.
24. What can we know about Lilyma
A. She was born into a poor family. B. She was brought up by an NGO.
C. She suffered a lot when she was young. D. She first learned to cook from her father.
25. When did Lilyma get the chance to realize her dream
A. At 3. B. At 5. C. At 11. D. At 13.
26. Which words can best describe Lilyma

27. What message can we get from Lilyma’s story

【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“At the age of 13, she went to another NGO called Kilkari Rainbow Home. There, she got opportunity to give wings to her dreams.(13岁时，她去了另一个名为基尔卡里彩虹之家的非政府组织。在那里，她有机会为她的梦想插上翅膀)”可知，她在13岁时才得到机会追逐自己的梦想。故选D项。

He says, “She amazes me with everything that she does. She is very clever and works well under pressure. She is a quick learner and works very hard, for almost 12 hours a day,” says Sadeev.(培训莉莉玛的厨师萨迪夫·帕斯里查(Sadeev Pasricha)认识她八年了。他说：“她做的每件事都让我惊讶。她很聪明，在压力下也能工作得很好。她学得很快，工作非常努力，每天工作近12个小时。”)”可推知，她是一个志向远大并且意志坚定的人。故选A项。

Raising a litter of teething wolf pups (幼崽) is not easy, but the wolves living in Yellowstone National Park are parenting experts. This spring, the park’s biologists shot a video of adult wolves repeatedly returning to their den (窝) with so-called “toys”—in the form of bones and sticks—to keep their little ones happy between meals.
Once they stop eating their mother’s milk, pups rely on adults to go out, hunt, and then bring back food to the den. But when that’s not possible, the adults instead retrieve odd items for the wolf pups to play with.
“Pups wait for food deliveries from successful hunts, but in the absence of food, adults bring ‘toys’,” the park wrote on Facebook. “The behavior of bringing items back to the den may be enhanced from generation to generation and probably helps keep adults from being surrounded by sharp puppy teeth.”
The adult wolves are part of “Mollie’s Pack”, one of ten known wolf packs living within Yellowstone as of January 2023. This particular pack is named after Mollie Beattie, who in 1993 became the first woman to serve as director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
Beattie, who died in 1996, advocated for the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park to help rebalance the ecosystem after the animals were systematically killed within the park Wolf reintroduction was a highly controversial initiative that many people opposed. And yet, Beattie and other wildlife managers ultimately achieved their vision and successfully relocated 41 wolves from western Canada to the park between 1995 and 1997. Today, that number has blossomed to at least 108 wolves living in Yellowstone.
Today, gray wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act in many states. In late 2020, the administration removed the animals from the endangered list. But in February 2022, they were re-listed as endangered after a judge reversed the decision.
28. What does the underlined word “retrieve” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Hide. B. Fetch. C. Decorate. D. Design.
29. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Pups of any kind are playful by nature.
B. Wolves are intelligent enough to make toys.
C. Finding food is becoming harder and harder.
D. Wolves’ “toy-delivery” behavior may be more obvious in later generations.
30. What was Beattie’s contribution
A. She helped rebalance the ecosystem in Yellowstone.
B. She got involved in drawing up the Endangered Species Act.
C. She succeeded in reintroducing 108 wolves to Yellowstone.
D. She established the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
31. What will the author continue talking about
A. The reason why gray wolves were considered as endangered again.
B. The factors that contribute to the wolves’ behavior.
C. People’s response to the Endangered Species Act.
D. The change in gray wolves’ population.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了黄石公园的狼在找不到食物带给幼崽时会带回一些稀奇古怪的东西给幼崽当玩具。
28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“This spring, the park’s biologists shot a video of adult wolves repeatedly returning to their den with so-called “toys”—in the form of bones and sticks—to keep their little ones happy between meals.”（今年春天，公园的生物学家拍摄了一段视频，视频中成年狼反复带着所谓的“玩具”——骨头和棍子的形式——回到它们的巢穴，让它们的小狼在吃饭之间开心起来。）可知，如果狼找不到食物给长牙的幼崽，它们会带回一些“玩具”，推测划线单词表示“取回，带回”，fetch“拿来，获取”与其意义相近。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The behavior of bringing items back to the den may be enhanced from generation to generation and probably helps keep adults from being surrounded by sharp puppy teeth.”（一代又一代，把东西带回巢穴的行为可能会增强，这可能有助于防止成年狼被尖锐的小狼牙齿包围。）可知，狼带回“玩具”的行为在某种意义上对自己是一种保护，因此从进化的角度推断这种行为会一代代传递下去，在后世可能会更加明显。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Beattie, who died in 1996, advocated for the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park to help rebalance the ecosystem after the animals were systematically killed within the park. Wolf reintroduction was a highly controversial initiative that many people opposed. And yet, Beattie and other wildlife managers ultimately achieved their vision and successfully relocated 41 wolves from western Canada to the park between 1995 and 1997. Today, that number has blossomed to at least 108 wolves living in Yellowstone.”（贝蒂于1996年去世，她主张在黄石国家公园内系统性地杀死狼后，将狼重新引入黄石国家公园，以帮助重新平衡生态系统。狼的重新引入是一项极具争议的举措，许多人反对。然而，贝蒂和其他野生动物管理人员最终实现了他们的愿景，并在1995年至1997年期间成功地将41只狼从加拿大西部重新安置到公园。今天，这个数字已经增长到至少108只狼生活在黄石公园。）可推知，贝蒂倡议重新引进狼，目的是帮助恢复黄石公园的生态，最后狼被成功引进，由此可知，她对恢复黄石公园的生态做出了贡献。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, gray wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act in many states. In late 2020, the administration removed the animals from the endangered list. But in February 2022, they were re-listed as endangered after a judge reversed the decision.”（今天，灰狼在许多州受到濒危物种法案的保护。2020年底，政府将这些动物从濒危物种名单中删除。但在2022年2月，在评判员推翻了这一决定后，它们被重新列为濒危物种。）可知，文章最后介绍灰狼曾经被移除濒危物种的名录，但后来又被列为濒危物种，由此推知，接下来有可能会介绍为什么灰狼又一次被列为濒危物种。故选A项。
D
Creative people are more likely to make the most of their idle (空闲的) time during a typical day by exploring their mind, a new study by University of Arizona researchers suggests.
In the study, the researchers divided the study into two parts. For the first experiment, the researchers asked each participant to sit alone in a room for 10 minutes without any access to digital devices. In the absence of any particular prompt (提示), the participants were asked to speak out their thoughts aloud in real time. The recorded files from 81 participants were then analyzed.
The researchers assessed the participants’ creativity through a thinking test, a lab-based verbal test that measures a person’s ability to think outside of the box. Participants who performed well in the thinking test had thoughts that flowed freely and were associated with one another, often indicated by phrases such as “this reminds me of” or “speaking of which”.
“While many participants had a tendency to jump between seemingly unrelated thoughts, creative individuals showed signs of thinking more associatively,” Raffaeli said, who was a senior author of the paper.
The first experiment also found that creative people were more engaged in their thoughts when they were left alone without distractions (干扰), such as the cellphone and Internet. “Creative people rated themselves as being less bored, even over those 10 minutes. They also spoke more words overall, which indicated that their thoughts were more likely to move freely,” Raffaeli said.
To further prove their initial findings, the researchers extended their study in the context of a much larger span of time—from 2020 to 2023 when many people were alone with their thoughts more often. For the second experiment, over 2,600 adults answered questions through a smartphone app called Mind Window. Participants who self-identified as being creative reported being less bored and more engaged in their thoughts during that period.
The researchers are continuing this line of work using their Mind Window app. They encourage people to download and use the app to help scientists understand how people across the world think in their everyday lives. “Understanding why different people think the way they do may lead to promising interventions to improve health and well-being,” Raffaeli said.
32. What were the participants asked to do in the first experiment
A. Play digital devices for just 10 minutes.
B. Voice their thoughts quickly when asked.
C. Observe and record each other’s performance.
D. Make self-assessment in a thinking test.
33. What was the feature of the creative participants in the study
A. They often had associated ideas.
B. They thought of anything as a reminder.
C. They preferred to sit alone without being distracted.
D. They tended to jump between unrelated thoughts.
34. Why did the researchers encourage people to use Mind Window
A. To analyze their own thoughts. B. To try out the function of the app.
C. To keep track of their thinking. D. To improve their own mental well-being.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Idle Time Makes Creative People
B. Creative Thoughts Appear in Idle Time
C. Creative People Are Less Affected by Distraction
D. Creative People Enjoy Idle Time More Than Others
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了新的科学研究发现有创造力的人更有可能有效地利用空闲时间，而不会感觉无聊。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the absence of any particular prompt (提示), the participants were asked to speak out their thoughts aloud in real time.”（在没有任何特别提示的情况下，参与者被要求实时大声说出他们的想法。）可知，在第一个实验中，参与实验的人在被提问时需要立即说出自己的想法。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Participants who performed well in the thinking test had thoughts that flowed freely and were associated with one another, often indicated by phrases such as “this reminds me of” or “speaking of which”.”（在思维测试中表现良好的参与者的思想自由流动，彼此关联，通常用“这让我想起”或“说到哪”这样的短语来表示。）可知，有创造力的人的思维都是有联系的。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“They encourage people to download and use the app to help scientists understand how people across the world think in their everyday lives.”（他们鼓励人们下载并使用这款应用程序，以帮助科学家了解世界各地的人们在日常生活中是如何思考的。）可知，研究人员鼓励人们使用Mind Window的目的是了解人们日常的思想。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Creative people are more likely to make the most of their idle(空闲的) time during a typical day by exploring their mind, a new study by University of Arizona researchers suggests.”（亚利桑那大学研究人员的一项新研究表明，富有创造力的人更有可能通过探索自己的思维来充分利用一天中的空闲时间。）可知，文章主要讲的是新的科学研究发现有创造力的人更有可能有效地利用空闲时间，而不会感觉无聊。故文章最好的标题是“有创造力的人比其他人更享受空闲时间”。故选D项。

Hot Water Bottles
Hot water bottles and heat packs are the perfect way to warm up your tent. All you need is a camping stove, or a campfire and a pot. ___37___ With hot water bottles, make sure you get some in various sizes. Grab some mini hot water bottles for your feet, and then get a full-size hot water bottle to hold at night.

Electric Blankets and Heating Carpets
If you don’t plan on shying away from electricity, then electric blankets can keep you comfortable at night. Plus, the heat they radiate can heat the tent for a few hours before you lie on top of them to sleep. You can use them on all types of camping bedding. Don’t put them inside a sleeping bag, though, as that’ll get hot. ___39___
Electric Heating Fans
If you’re okay with electricity, these might do well for you. Electric heating fans and radiators are classic ways to heat a home. ___40___ Just make sure you keep them away from the tent walls. No one wants them to overheat. They need space for the air to circulate well.
A. You can use them to heat a tent, too.
B. Then you can boil the water you need for them.
C. You may be wondering how to heat your tent.
D. It is known that coals are widely used in our life.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
When I was still a young girl, I used to love going adventuring in the wild. One of my clearest memories from early childhood was when my dad took me along for a trip on a small path that went through the woods near our home. If he was not busy working, my dad would always take me down to the bush every weekend and together we would collect many sticks and stones to add to our collections.
I wasn’t like any ordinary girl as I loved the outdoors even as a young toddler (学步的儿童). I was never fond of colorful dolls and noisy tea parties. Soon I became old enough to venture out on my own. When I ventured forth through the Australian bush land I felt as if I were in heaven. It gave me great joy that I had never felt before. I thought there was nothing more beautiful than feeling the cool air gently brushing across my back. The leaves crunched (嘎吱作响) beneath my feet at every step. I felt as if I were home.
As the sun dipped slowly below the horizon, there was nothing more to do than to head back home. On my way I suddenly heard a screeching sound somewhere in the distance. It was the most horrible sound I had ever heard in my life. Sure enough, I just had to investigate, feeling curious to know what it was that had made this strange sound. In the dead of night, I headed towards where the strange sound came from. While seeking for it, I came across a river. Looking up and down the river; I couldn’t find a way to cross it. In much shame I decided to give up in the end. It was about one o’ clock in the morning and I thought my dad must have got worried.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As I moved away from the river, I did not remember which direction I came from.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After what seemed like hours, I felt a sigh of relief rush through my body.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As I moved away from the river I did not remember which direction I came from. My brain told me left but my instinct told me right. In my past experiences I had always gone with my instinct. So of course I went with my instinct. It was still dark and I couldn’t see the path clearly. It was a bit cold, and from time to time, I could hear dew drops fall off the tall trees onto the ground. As I walked off into the distance I could see the sun breaking out in my distant view.
After what seemed like hours, I felt a sigh of relief rush through my body. I saw the country field filled with cows and sheep. In the foggy distance I saw my dad lying down without moving a muscle. I wished the night had been just a dream as my dad was worried because of my long absence. I moved closer down the steep hill. I felt a smile creep across my face. I shadowed the sun from my dad’s face and he woke up with a jump. “You are alive!” my dad cried excitedly. “You are alive!” A joy came over his face. Since then he has always gone with me on my adventures.
