Like many of the Indigenous (土著的) communities across the Australian continent, the remote communities in north-west New South Wales are struggling. Many of the 300 or so residents rely on welfare. Higher electricity bills—up to $3,000 a quarter for some households—further worsen the poverty. They’re always at the end of the power line, so the service that is there is quite extraordinary in terms of cost. It’s a real problem that needs to be fixed.
To that end, Anderson and other Indigenous leaders have formed the First Nations Renewable Energy Alliance (FREA) to push for renewable energy in Indigenous communities. They partner with private enterprise to support Indigenous communities looking to switch to renewable energy.
“We can build a power station where the community exists,” Anderson says, “so people are able to successfully live in the environment the way they want to live and have access to power which enables them to better determine their economic future.”
Only a handful of Indigenous communities have set up renewable energy projects in Australia. The Indigenous-owned and -operated company AllGrid Energy, for instance, has installed solar panels and battery storage systems to replace diesel (柴油) generators in the communities of Ngurrara and Kurnturlpara in the Northern Territory’s Barkly Tableland. Within two months of the system being installed in May 2016, people were moving back to their homelands, the communities growing from just two permanent residents to about 40.
But FREA will go one step further, working with community leaders and acting as a conduit (纽带) between the communities and the businesses they are dealing with. This is essential, says Anderson, to avoid predatory (吞并) practices they have seen in the past, with companies “playing on the psychology of poverty” to gain advantage. The FREA has drafted terms of agreements that will guide how companies engage with Indigenous communities for renewable energy projects.
One of the next steps for FREA will be to identify a community that can act as a test case for a renewables project. “Our experience is that if we can make it work for one community, it will work in every other community,” Anderson says.
4. What is FREA expected to do for the remote Indigenous communities
A. Increase power supply to them. B. Help them return to their homelands.
C. Shake them off poverty. D. Reduce their higher power costs.
5. What does the author indicate by mentioning AllGrid Energy
A. Renewables projects are inaccessible.
B. Renewables projects are quite workable.
C. Renewables projects can increase locals’ income.
D. Renewables projects can coexist with diesel power plants.
6. What’s paragraph 5 mainly about concerning FREA
A. Its strategies to win over the businesses. B. Its cooperation with community leaders.
C. Its potential conflict with energy companies. D. Its innovation in directing renewables projects.
7. What’s FREA going to do next
A. Consult the experts. B. Select a piloting community.
C. Collect sufficient construction fund. D. Make renewables projects available to all.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了土著社区推动可再生能源项目，FREA组织助力，避免企业利用贫困获利。
4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They’re always at the end of the power line, so the service that is there is quite extraordinary in terms of cost. It’s a real problem that needs to be fixed.(他们总是在电力线的末端，所以那里的服务在成本方面是非常高的。这是一个需要解决的实际问题)”以及第三段““We can build a power station where the community exists,” Anderson says, “so people are able to successfully live in the environment the way they want to live and have access to power which enables them to better determine their economic future.”(“我们可以在有社区的地方建一座发电站，”安德森说，“这样人们就能在他们想要的环境中成功地生活，并获得电力，使他们能够更好地决定自己的经济未来。”)”可知，FREA期望为偏远的土著社区降低他们更高的电力成本。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Within two months of the system being installed in May 2016, people were moving back to their homelands, the communities growing from just two permanent residents to about 40.(该系统于2016年5月安装，在安装后的两个月内，人们纷纷搬回自己的家园，社区从只有两名永久居民增长到大约40人)”可推知，作者提到AllGrid Energy是为了说明可再生能源项目相当可行。故选B。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“But FREA will go one step further, working with community leaders and acting as a conduit (纽带) between the communities and the businesses they are dealing with. This is essential, says Anderson, to avoid predatory (吞并) practices they have seen in the past, with companies “playing on the psychology of poverty” to gain advantage. The FREA has drafted terms of agreements that will guide how companies engage with Indigenous communities for renewable energy projects.(但FREA将更进一步，与社区领导人合作，并充当社区与他们正在打交道的企业之间的渠道。安德森说，这对于避免他们过去看到的掠夺性行为是至关重要的，这些公司“利用贫困心理”来获得优势。FREA已经起草了协议条款，指导公司如何与土著社区合作开展可再生能源项目)”可知，关于FREA，本段谈论的主要内容是它在指导可再生能源项目方面的新方法。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“One of the next steps for FREA will be to identify a community that can act as a test case for a renewables project.( FREA下一步的工作之一将是确定一个可以作为可再生能源项目测试案例的社区)”可知，FREA下一步将会选择一个试点社区。故选B。

If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface The second question is easier to answer: a lot.
Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.
But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze.
Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water.
Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition — a Herculean task when winter brings its worst.
8. What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2
A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence.
C. To define the phenomenon. D. To reveal the misconception.
9. How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing
A. By lowering the temperature. B. By melting and splitting itself.
C. By lining up to form a solid structure. D. By stopping the formation of the structure.
10. What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Concentrations. B. Weights. C. Qualities. D. Salts.
11. What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about
A. Other salts won’t disturb local ecology.
B. Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels.
C. Many alternatives are available to solve the problem.
D. Bitter winter make it impossible to secure road safety.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们在冬天通过在路面撒盐来缓解雪后因道路结冰而造成的交通安全问题，并就此问题所带来的环境问题进行科普。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear.”（盐不会直接融化冰，也不会让雪消失。）以及第二句“Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression.”（相反，它使水更不容易冻结，这种现象被称为冰点降低。）可知，第二段第一句的目的是揭示一个错误认知，纠正盐直接使雪和冰融化的错误想法。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.”（正常情况下，当水结冰时，它的分子会排成一行，形成一个稳定有序的结构。然而，盐会打断这一过程，而温度必须降得更低，才能克服这种干扰，从而发生冻结。）可知，盐会干扰水分子在结冰时形成稳定、有序的结构。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water.”（北美湖泊中氯化物densities的增加可能会扰乱当地生态，并使饮用水源退化。）可知，氯离子的浓度增加会是当地生态系统受到干扰，并使饮用水源退化。所以划线词的意思是“浓度”。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段，尤其是“All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition…”（所有这些试验都是为了确保人们在任何天气条件下都能出行。）可知，本段主要阐述地方政府正在努力确保冰雪天气人们出行安全。故选B项。
D
About ten years ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present a mix of content, tailored by algorithms (算法) to match users’ interests, whether it’s plants, sports, cats, or politics.
Kyle Chayka, a writer for The New Yorker, discusses this topic in his book, Filterworld. He explains that algorithms analyze user data to predict and influence what they will likely engage with. This means that instead of a simple, chronological feed, users encounter a dynamic stream, constantly adapting to their preferences. Chayka examines how these algorithmic recommendations control what we consume, from music and movies to food and travel destinations. He argues that this machine-driven selection process has turned us into passive consumers, making our preferences and tastes more similar.
Chayka points out that algorithms make us passive by always showing us content that we’re unlikely to click away from but won’t find too unexpected or challenging. This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors.
Moreover, Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like musicians and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms. For instance, musicians on Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their songs to grab the listener’s attention.
Despite the strong presence of these algorithms, Chayka believes that regulation could reduce their influence. He suggests that if Meta, the parent company of Facebook, were required to separate its various services, like Instagram or WhatsApp, and make them compete with each other, it could give users more control and choice over their digital consumption.
In summary, the change from simple, time-ordered social. media posts to algorithm-driven content has a big impact on both the viewers and the creators, influencing what we see, hear, and even think. Chayka’s insights highlight the need for greater awareness and potentially more regulation in our increasingly digital world.
12. According to the text, how have social media platforms changed in the past ten years
A. They show posts in a time-based order.
B. They prioritize posts from friends and family.
C. They make adjustments to satisfy users’ needs.
D. They provide more content to meet different needs.
13. What does Kyle Chayka think of algorithmic recommendations
A. They make users more active consumers.
B. They shape users’ preferences and behaviors.
C. They reduce the influence of content creators.
D. They expose users to diverse and challenging content.
14. How do algorithms influence musicians’ work on digital platforms
A. By encouraging musicians to create longer songs.
B. By discouraging musicians from using catchy hooks.
C. By giving musicians more control and choice over their music.
D. By requiring musicians to create their work to fit the platforms.
15. What can be concluded from the text
A. Tech companies should have more departments.
B. Social media algorithms give content creators less opportunities.
C. Social media algorithms flatten our culture by making decisions for us.
D. Network platforms have increased the common recommendations for 10 years.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国十二生肖年份中的龙年。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国的十二生肖，也被称为“生肖”或“属相”，是一个重复的12年循环。空处需填非谓语动词作定语，此处表示十二生肖的周而复始，circle是repeat这一动作的发出者，二者为逻辑主谓关系，需用现在分词形式。故填repeating。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：每一年都由一种动物代表。represent和主语each year为被动关系，且此处描述的是客观事实，应使用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为单数名词，be动词用is。故填is represented。
【38题详解】
考查序数词。句意：龙是十二生肖中的第五个，排在龙、牛、虎、兔之后。定冠词the修饰序数词，结合常识可知，龙在十二生肖中排第五。故填fifth。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：因此，中国的生肖年与中国农历新年的开始是一致的，这是合理的。is为系动词，空处需填形容词reasonable，作表语。故填reasonable。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：如果你对农历有所了解，你就会知道中国的生肖年通常从1月下旬开始，到次年的2月中旬结束。year为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且Chinese发音以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：因此，要想知道你的生肖是什么，或者确认你是否属龙，你需要将你的公历生日更改为农历生日。空处前后的逻辑关系为选择关系，需用连词or连接。故填or。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：例如，如果你出生在1988年2月16日(龙年)，农历除夕，这是非常接近龙年，但你是属兔的。此处指具体某一天，应用介词on。故填on。
【43题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：值得一提的是，如果两个人出生在不同的龙年，他们可能会有非常不同的性格和星座，因为五行是金、木、水、火、土。空处引导主语从句，从句缺少主语，指物，需用连接代词what引导，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填What。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。personality意为“性格”，是可数名词，结合“different”可知，此处需填名词复数形式。故填personalities。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：每种元素以60年为一个周期。此处陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语为Each element，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填comes。

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。
When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the day, the students streamed out of the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse.
The lift lobby (电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat’s lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled (蹒跚) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were silent for the rest of the ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里).
“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It had become a colourless mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening, but what other choice did I have Mrs Lim burst into tears. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosened her collar.
Paragraph 1: Several minutes passed, but no help came.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Several minutes passed, but no help came. The air inside the lift grew stale, and panic started to set in. Mrs Lim's condition was worsening, and I felt a sense of helplessness creeping over me. I tried to stay calm and think of a way out, but the situation seemed dire. The silence was deafening, broken only by Mrs Lim’s labored breathing and occasional sobs. Time seemed to stretch on endlessly as we waited for a miracle.
Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door. Relief flooded through me as I realized help had finally arrived. The sound of tools clanging against the door signaled their efforts to rescue us. Moments later, the door was pried open, and fresh air rushed in. We were safe. Mrs Lim was quickly attended to by the paramedics, and I was filled with gratitude for their swift response. As we were escorted out of the lift, I couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of appreciation for the fragility of life and the importance of helping others in times of need.
【解析】
【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开，主要描述了主人公放学后和邻居Mrs Lim乘坐电梯时突然电梯失去了控制，发出各种异样的声响，最终在五楼突然停下来，导致两人被困在其中。Mrs Lim的情绪逐渐失控，主人公尽力安抚Mrs Lim的恐慌情绪并帮助她解开衣领使呼吸顺畅，同时努力寻找解决困境的办法。

Like many of the Indigenous (土著的) communities across the Australian continent, the remote communities in north-west New South Wales are struggling. Many of the 300 or so residents rely on welfare. Higher electricity bills—up to $3,000 a quarter for some households—further worsen the poverty. They’re always at the end of the power line, so the service that is there is quite extraordinary in terms of cost. It’s a real problem that needs to be fixed.
To that end, Anderson and other Indigenous leaders have formed the First Nations Renewable Energy Alliance (FREA) to push for renewable energy in Indigenous communities. They partner with private enterprise to support Indigenous communities looking to switch to renewable energy.
“We can build a power station where the community exists,” Anderson says, “so people are able to successfully live in the environment the way they want to live and have access to power which enables them to better determine their economic future.”
Only a handful of Indigenous communities have set up renewable energy projects in Australia. The Indigenous-owned and -operated company AllGrid Energy, for instance, has installed solar panels and battery storage systems to replace diesel (柴油) generators in the communities of Ngurrara and Kurnturlpara in the Northern Territory’s Barkly Tableland. Within two months of the system being installed in May 2016, people were moving back to their homelands, the communities growing from just two permanent residents to about 40.
But FREA will go one step further, working with community leaders and acting as a conduit (纽带) between the communities and the businesses they are dealing with. This is essential, says Anderson, to avoid predatory (吞并) practices they have seen in the past, with companies “playing on the psychology of poverty” to gain advantage. The FREA has drafted terms of agreements that will guide how companies engage with Indigenous communities for renewable energy projects.
One of the next steps for FREA will be to identify a community that can act as a test case for a renewables project. “Our experience is that if we can make it work for one community, it will work in every other community,” Anderson says.
4. What is FREA expected to do for the remote Indigenous communities
A. Increase power supply to them. B. Help them return to their homelands.
C. Shake them off poverty. D. Reduce their higher power costs.
5. What does the author indicate by mentioning AllGrid Energy
A. Renewables projects are inaccessible.
B. Renewables projects are quite workable.
C. Renewables projects can increase locals’ income.
D. Renewables projects can coexist with diesel power plants.
6. What’s paragraph 5 mainly about concerning FREA
A. Its strategies to win over the businesses. B. Its cooperation with community leaders.
C. Its potential conflict with energy companies. D. Its innovation in directing renewables projects.
7. What’s FREA going to do next
A. Consult the experts. B. Select a piloting community.
C. Collect sufficient construction fund. D. Make renewables projects available to all.

If you live in a region where winter weather is a regular risk, you are likely used to pouring salt on your sidewalks. But how does it work And how much salt do humans pour onto our planet’s surface The second question is easier to answer: a lot.
Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow simply disappear. Instead it makes water less likely to freeze in a phenomenon called freezing point depression. In the case of simple rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) splits into smaller elements. Normally, when water freezes into ice, its molecules line up to form a stable, orderly structure. Salt interrupts the process, however, and temperatures must drop lower to overcome that interruption and for freezing to occur.
But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how does it do anything when temperatures are stubbornly below freezing, and water should already be in the form of ice That’s where cars help clear their own way by creating friction and, in turn, heat. The friction allows for the ice that has already frozen to melt a little bit, making it unlikely to freeze.
Beyond rock salt’s ability to clear icy streets, it can also be destructive. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes could begin to upset local ecology and degrade sources of drinking water.
Many local governments are looking for alternatives to rock salt. Other salts such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride work in the same way as rock salt, and they’re perhaps even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including those that contain sugars instead of or in addition to salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which can mechanically make roads safer. All of this experimentation is aimed at ensuring people can travel in any weather condition — a Herculean task when winter brings its worst.
8. What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2
A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence.
C. To define the phenomenon. D. To reveal the misconception.
9. How does salt work to disturb the process of freezing
A. By lowering the temperature. B. By melting and splitting itself.
C. By lining up to form a solid structure. D. By stopping the formation of the structure.
10. What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Concentrations. B. Weights. C. Qualities. D. Salts.
11. What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about
A. Other salts won’t disturb local ecology.
B. Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels.
C. Many alternatives are available to solve the problem.
D. Bitter winter make it impossible to secure road safety.
D
About ten years ago, logging into Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram would mostly show posts from friends and family in the order they were posted. Today, these platforms present a mix of content, tailored by algorithms (算法) to match users’ interests, whether it’s plants, sports, cats, or politics.
Kyle Chayka, a writer for The New Yorker, discusses this topic in his book, Filterworld. He explains that algorithms analyze user data to predict and influence what they will likely engage with. This means that instead of a simple, chronological feed, users encounter a dynamic stream, constantly adapting to their preferences. Chayka examines how these algorithmic recommendations control what we consume, from music and movies to food and travel destinations. He argues that this machine-driven selection process has turned us into passive consumers, making our preferences and tastes more similar.
Chayka points out that algorithms make us passive by always showing us content that we’re unlikely to click away from but won’t find too unexpected or challenging. This constant stream of recommendations reduces our exposure to diverse or challenging content, subtly shaping our preferences and behaviors.
Moreover, Chayka points out that algorithms also pressure content creators, like musicians and artists, to tailor their work to fit these digital platforms. For instance, musicians on Spotify or TikTok might focus on creating catchy hooks at the beginning of their songs to grab the listener’s attention.
Despite the strong presence of these algorithms, Chayka believes that regulation could reduce their influence. He suggests that if Meta, the parent company of Facebook, were required to separate its various services, like Instagram or WhatsApp, and make them compete with each other, it could give users more control and choice over their digital consumption.
In summary, the change from simple, time-ordered social. media posts to algorithm-driven content has a big impact on both the viewers and the creators, influencing what we see, hear, and even think. Chayka’s insights highlight the need for greater awareness and potentially more regulation in our increasingly digital world.
12. According to the text, how have social media platforms changed in the past ten years
A. They show posts in a time-based order.
B. They prioritize posts from friends and family.
C. They make adjustments to satisfy users’ needs.
D. They provide more content to meet different needs.
13. What does Kyle Chayka think of algorithmic recommendations
A. They make users more active consumers.
B. They shape users’ preferences and behaviors.
C. They reduce the influence of content creators.
D. They expose users to diverse and challenging content.
14. How do algorithms influence musicians’ work on digital platforms
A. By encouraging musicians to create longer songs.
B. By discouraging musicians from using catchy hooks.
C. By giving musicians more control and choice over their music.
D. By requiring musicians to create their work to fit the platforms.
15. What can be concluded from the text
A. Tech companies should have more departments.
B. Social media algorithms give content creators less opportunities.
C. Social media algorithms flatten our culture by making decisions for us.
D. Network platforms have increased the common recommendations for 10 years.

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。
When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the day, the students streamed out of the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse.
The lift lobby (电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat’s lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled (蹒跚) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were silent for the rest of the ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里).
“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It had become a colourless mask. I had no time to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening, but what other choice did I have Mrs Lim burst into tears. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosened her collar.
Paragraph 1: Several minutes passed, but no help came.

Paragraph 2: Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door.
