Competing in the Mongol Derby
Standing at the finishing line, 70-year-old Bob Long spent a while reflecting on the achievement he’d just made. Behind him was the wild, endless Mongolian grassland extending into the distance. This American had just become the oldest person to ever complete and win the Mongol Derby, the world’s longest horse race.
Long, a rider all his life, entered the race after being inspired by All the Wild Horses, a movie based on the exhausting event.
Fearing that he wouldn’t be able to complete it, he set about preparing his mind and body for this “hardest, toughest, most demanding thing you can do on a horse”, an annual 1,000-kilometer race that was recognized as the world’s longest horse race by The Guinness Book of Records in 2011. He confirmed his belief that preparation can surpass (超过；胜过) youth, as some of the other riders were less prepared.
Although Long had been riding horses for many years, the hardship and uncertainty of the task pushed him to his limit and forced him to depend entirely on his own will. The race organizers had provided an extensive support network to keep an eye on the participants from afar. Despite that, the physical pressure of riding such a long distance made simple things like squatting (蹲) down at the end of the day almost impossible.
Along the vast race course there were unpredictable circumstances beyond Long’s control, however well prepared he’d been. Weather was one of them, which could switch from heavy rain to burning sun unexpectedly.
Above all else, the biggest obstacle was the state of mind. Without a living soul in sight, Long was desperate for interaction, guidance, and comfort. This feeling of loneliness accounted for his hope that one of his fellow competitors would catch up.
Regardless of the hardship, Long felt a sort of spiritual adventure while traveling through the wilderness. He was provided with some memorable moments while connecting with nature. He also grew to love the country and the communities along the route.
Still holding the passion for riding, Long never dismisses the idea of competing in another Mongol Derby.
4. What distinguished Bob Long from other competitors in the Mongol Derby
A. He rode the whole race course alone.
B. He completed the toughest part of the course.
C. He was the oldest participant of the horse race.
D. He was most likely to enter the competition again.
5. What played a decisive part in Long’s achievement
A. His strong willpower. B. His thorough preparation.
C. His passion for nature. D. An extensive support provided by the organizers.
6. What was the biggest challenge that Long faced during the race
A. The changeable weather.
B. The psychological condition in the course.
C. The difficulty in finding the competitors.
D. The physical demand of riding a long distance.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. An introduction to the Mongol Derby.
B A review of a film based on the longest horse race.
C. The experience of the Mongol Derby’s oldest winner.
D. The preparations before a long and difficult horse race.
C
When Capt. Greg Galeazzi joined the Army seven years ago, he was well aware of the risks of injuries or even death he would face. In 2011, the risks became Galeazzi’s reality — he got terribly injured in an explosion where he lost his double legs. “I was a shell of a man,” he said. “Who I was, was gone.”
Before his injury, playing the guitar had been a special pastime for Galeazzi. Music had always been important to him. He felt deep sadness because he thought he’d lost his ability to play music.
However, everything changed when Galeazzi joined MusiCorps, a music rehabilitation (康复) program for severely wounded soldiers who are recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “We match the injured troops with professional musicians,” said Arthur Bloom, who founded the program in 2007. “They help wounded soldiers play music and recover their lives.”
Bloom, a graduate of the Yale School of Music, offers his services to patients at Walter Reed who have an interest in playing an instrument. Program participants practice technique, write and record music. Or they may just get together for a jam session (即兴演奏会).
The journey to recovery for many soldiers is a long one. It can require dozens of operations and many years spent in hospitals. There’s so much downtime at Walter Reed, and that’s what they fill up with music.
Since 2007, Bloom and his group have helped hundreds of wounded soldiers. For Galeazzi, joining MusiCorps has helped restore his confidence and made him more optimistic about his future. “Something survived that horrible injury in Afghanistan,” Galeazzi said. “Arthur and his program changed my outlook on what is possible.”
“I’ve seen guys going through such a hard time with their injuries that they are very withdrawn,” Bloom said. “The music becomes their new way of communicating. It can be just as powerful as the spoken word. By injecting music into this space, we can inject life.”
8. Which of the following is NOT true about Greg Galeazzi
A. He clearly knew the risks he would take of being a soldier.
B. He was at one time in total depression about losing his legs.
C. Joining MusiCorps started up his enthusiasm in playing music again.
D. It was music that played a key role in healing his soul.
9. What does the MusiCorps mainly aim to do according to Arthur
A. To offer the participants professional help on how to produce music.
B. To reduce the pain in the participants’ medical treatment.
C. To organize music performances by the participants.
D. To help the injured soldiers regain confidence in life through music.
10. What is Bloom’s attitude towards music
A. negative B. positive C. indifferent D. neutral
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Music heals the wounded B. Confidence rebuilds one in hopelessness
C. He who loses faith, loses all D. Music knows no borders
D
The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas has issued a recent report in order to recommend ways to increase food donations reduce food waste, and fight hunger, which may help Kenyan leaders meet 2030 food waste reduction goals.
Food donation can reroute eatable food—that would otherwise give off greenhouse gasses in a landfill—to those experiencing hunger. According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, 3.5 million Kenyans, roughly 37 percent of the population, face severe hunger. At the same time, the Policy Atlas reports roughly 40 percent of food produced within Kenya goes to waste. But Broad Leib, Deputy Director of Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), sees some promising changes. “While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya’s food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to 1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction,” reports Broad Leib.
According to the Policy Atlas, motivating food donation with rewards is particularly important, which helps food donors and food recovery organizations make up for costs necessary for recovery, storing, processing, and transporting food for donation.
“A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. This increases the likelihood that much safe food will go to waste,” Broad Leib tells Food Tank. However, he acknowledges Kenya’s current dual (双的) date labeling laws. While food may lose its freshness over time, it is still eatable before expiration (到期). Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces bewilderment by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors.
Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya. It is vital for consumer education campaigns. FLPC’s research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation.
12. What changes does Broad Leib see
A. People in Kenya no longer suffer hunger.
B. Kenya has gradually reduced its food waste.
C. Kenya is not committed to reducing food loss.
D. Progress in reducing food waste is happening quickly.
13. What does the underlined word “bewilderment” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Sadness. B. Convenience. C. Confusion. D. Emotion.
14. How can Kenya reduce food waste according to Broad Leib
A. By increasing storehouses.
B. By fighting hunger with rewards.
C. By reducing food produced within the country.
D. By using double date labeling on packaged food.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Consumer education campaigns are the most important.
B. Only the private sector is helpful in reducing food waste.
C. Private and public joint efforts matter around food issues.
D. Broad Leib doesn’t agree with FLPC on food waste reduction.

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。
Winter break was approaching, and all Scott wanted to do was go snowboarding. Unfortunately, Scott's parents had different plans. They had booked a weeklong tropical cruise (热带船游). Scott hated warm weather and asked if he could just stay at his best friend's house so he could snowboard every day at the local mountain. His parents didn't want to hear anything of it. He kept debating them about the topic, but they would not change their minds. Family time was important to them, and it was tradition that they spend winter break together.
The week of the cruise arrived, and Scott continued to mumble (咕哝) his complaints as he and his family left their house to head south. Scott's dad told him that he would only make the vacation worse for himself if he didn't change his attitude and open his mind to a new experience. Scott still couldn't stop thinking about all of the snow he was leaving behind.
When they arrived at the port to board the ship, Scott had a hard time admitting that he was actually impressed with the size of the ship. He had seen the brochures but seeing the ship in person was a whole different animal. Then he remembered that the brochure said something about a surfing pool. Maybe surfing would be somewhat like snowboarding. After all, it involved riding a board.
Scott climbed aboard the ship with his parents, and then they walked around to check everything out. He couldn't believe how fancy the accommodations were. The dining room looked like a royal hall; the game room had all of his favorite games; the ship's deck (甲板) had several different swimming pools for different purposes. Then Scott saw the surfing pool. It was incredible. It wasn't a big pool, but it had big waves, and the young man who was demonstrating how to ride the waves made it look like a ton of fun.
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。
Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise.

Competing in the Mongol Derby
Standing at the finishing line, 70-year-old Bob Long spent a while reflecting on the achievement he’d just made. Behind him was the wild, endless Mongolian grassland extending into the distance. This American had just become the oldest person to ever complete and win the Mongol Derby, the world’s longest horse race.
Long, a rider all his life, entered the race after being inspired by All the Wild Horses, a movie based on the exhausting event.
Fearing that he wouldn’t be able to complete it, he set about preparing his mind and body for this “hardest, toughest, most demanding thing you can do on a horse”, an annual 1,000-kilometer race that was recognized as the world’s longest horse race by The Guinness Book of Records in 2011. He confirmed his belief that preparation can surpass (超过；胜过) youth, as some of the other riders were less prepared.
Although Long had been riding horses for many years, the hardship and uncertainty of the task pushed him to his limit and forced him to depend entirely on his own will. The race organizers had provided an extensive support network to keep an eye on the participants from afar. Despite that, the physical pressure of riding such a long distance made simple things like squatting (蹲) down at the end of the day almost impossible.
Along the vast race course there were unpredictable circumstances beyond Long’s control, however well prepared he’d been. Weather was one of them, which could switch from heavy rain to burning sun unexpectedly.
Above all else, the biggest obstacle was the state of mind. Without a living soul in sight, Long was desperate for interaction, guidance, and comfort. This feeling of loneliness accounted for his hope that one of his fellow competitors would catch up.
Regardless of the hardship, Long felt a sort of spiritual adventure while traveling through the wilderness. He was provided with some memorable moments while connecting with nature. He also grew to love the country and the communities along the route.
Still holding the passion for riding, Long never dismisses the idea of competing in another Mongol Derby.
4. What distinguished Bob Long from other competitors in the Mongol Derby
A. He rode the whole race course alone.
B. He completed the toughest part of the course.
C. He was the oldest participant of the horse race.
D. He was most likely to enter the competition again.
5. What played a decisive part in Long’s achievement
A. His strong willpower. B. His thorough preparation.
C. His passion for nature. D. An extensive support provided by the organizers.
6. What was the biggest challenge that Long faced during the race
A. The changeable weather.
B. The psychological condition in the course.
C. The difficulty in finding the competitors.
D. The physical demand of riding a long distance.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. An introduction to the Mongol Derby.
B. A review of a film based on the longest horse race.
C. The experience of the Mongol Derby’s oldest winner.
D. The preparations before a long and difficult horse race.

When Capt. Greg Galeazzi joined the Army seven years ago, he was well aware of the risks of injuries or even death he would face. In 2011, the risks became Galeazzi’s reality — he got terribly injured in an explosion where he lost his double legs. “I was a shell of a man,” he said. “Who I was, was gone.”
Before his injury, playing the guitar had been a special pastime for Galeazzi. Music had always been important to him. He felt deep sadness because he thought he’d lost his ability to play music.
However, everything changed when Galeazzi joined MusiCorps, a music rehabilitation (康复) program for severely wounded soldiers who are recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “We match the injured troops with professional musicians,” said Arthur Bloom, who founded the program in 2007. “They help wounded soldiers play music and recover their lives.”
Bloom a graduate of the Yale School of Music, offers his services to patients at Walter Reed who have an interest in playing an instrument. Program participants practice technique, write and record music. Or they may just get together for a jam session (即兴演奏会).
The journey to recovery for many soldiers is a long one. It can require dozens of operations and many years spent in hospitals. There’s so much downtime at Walter Reed, and that’s what they fill up with music.
Since 2007, Bloom and his group have helped hundreds of wounded soldiers. For Galeazzi, joining MusiCorps has helped restore his confidence and made him more optimistic about his future. “Something survived that horrible injury in Afghanistan,” Galeazzi said. “Arthur and his program changed my outlook on what is possible.”
“I’ve seen guys going through such a hard time with their injuries that they are very withdrawn,” Bloom said. “The music becomes their new way of communicating. It can be just as powerful as the spoken word. By injecting music into this space, we can inject life.”
8. Which of the following is NOT true about Greg Galeazzi
A. He clearly knew the risks he would take of being a soldier.
B. He was at one time in total depression about losing his legs.
C. Joining MusiCorps started up his enthusiasm in playing music again.
D. It was music that played a key role in healing his soul.
9. What does the MusiCorps mainly aim to do according to Arthur
A. To offer the participants professional help on how to produce music.
B. To reduce the pain in the participants’ medical treatment.
C. To organize music performances by the participants.
D. To help the injured soldiers regain confidence in life through music.
10. What is Bloom’s attitude towards music
A. negative B. positive C. indifferent D. neutral
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Music heals the wounded B. Confidence rebuilds one in hopelessness
C. He who loses faith, loses all D. Music knows no borders
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第二段中“He felt deep sadness because he thought he’d lost his ability to play music. (他感到非常悲伤，因为他认为他已经失去了演奏音乐的能力。)”可知，他是对自己失去演奏音乐能力而感到悲伤。并不是因为自己失去双腿而感到悲伤，故B选项“他一度因为失去双腿而极度沮丧”描述与原文不符。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, everything changed when Galeazzi joined MusiCorps, a music rehabilitation (康复) program for severely wounded soldiers who are recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “We match the injured troops with professional musicians,” said Arthur Bloom, who founded the program in 2007. “They help wounded soldiers play music and recover their lives.” (然而，当Galeazzi加入MusiCorps后，一切都改变了。MusiCorps是一个音乐康复项目，专门为在沃尔特里德国家军事医疗中心康复的重伤士兵服务。“我们把受伤的士兵和专业音乐家配对，”2007年创立该项目的Arthur Bloom说。“他们帮助受伤的士兵演奏音乐，恢复他们的生活。”)”可知，MusiCorps主要是通过音乐帮助受伤士兵重拾对生活的信心。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““I’ve seen guys going through such a hard time with their injuries that they are very withdrawn,” Bloom said. “The music becomes their new way of communicating. It can be just as powerful as the spoken word. By injecting music into this space, we can inject life.” (Bloom说：“我见过很多人因为受伤而经历了一段非常艰难的时期，他们非常内向。音乐成为了他们新的交流方式。它可以和口头语言一样强大。通过将音乐注入这个空间，我们可以注入生命。”)”可推知，Bloom对音乐是积极态度。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。主旨大意题。根据第三段“However, everything changed when Galeazzi joined MusiCorps, a music rehabilitation (康复) program for severely wounded soldiers who are recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “We match the injured troops with professional musicians,” said Arthur Bloom, who founded the program in 2007. “They help wounded soldiers play music and recover their lives.” (然而，当Galeazzi加入MusiCorps后，一切都改变了。MusiCorps是一个音乐康复项目，专门为在沃尔特里德国家军事医疗中心康复的重伤士兵服务。“我们把受伤的士兵和专业音乐家配对，”2007年创立该项目的Arthur Bloom说。“他们帮助受伤的士兵演奏音乐，恢复他们的生活。”)”可知，MusiCorps主要是通过音乐帮助受伤士兵重拾对生活的信心。故该文章的大意讲述的是MusiCorps以音乐为手段，治愈战场上那些受伤的士兵，让他们对生活的重拾信心。A项“音乐治愈伤员”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。故选A。

The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas has issued a recent report in order to recommend ways to increase food donations, reduce food waste, and fight hunger, which may help Kenyan leaders meet 2030 food waste reduction goals.
Food donation can reroute eatable food—that would otherwise give off greenhouse gasses in a landfill—to those experiencing hunger. According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, 3.5 million Kenyans, roughly 37 percent of the population, face severe hunger. At the same time, the Policy Atlas reports roughly 40 percent of food produced within Kenya goes to waste. But Broad Leib, Deputy Director of Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), sees some promising changes. “While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya’s food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to 1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction,” reports Broad Leib.
According to the Policy Atlas, motivating food donation with rewards is particularly important, which helps food donors and food recovery organizations make up for costs necessary for recovery, storing, processing, and transporting food for donation.
“A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. This increases the likelihood that much safe food will go to waste,” Broad Leib tells Food Tank. However, he acknowledges Kenya’s current dual (双的) date labeling laws. While food may lose its freshness over time, it is still eatable before expiration (到期). Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces bewilderment by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors.
Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya. It is vital for consumer education campaigns. FLPC’s research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation.
12. What changes does Broad Leib see
A. People in Kenya no longer suffer hunger.
B. Kenya has gradually reduced its food waste.
C. Kenya is not committed to reducing food loss.
D. Progress in reducing food waste is happening quickly.
13. What does the underlined word “bewilderment” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Sadness. B. Convenience. C. Confusion. D. Emotion.
14. How can Kenya reduce food waste according to Broad Leib
A. By increasing storehouses.
B. By fighting hunger with rewards.
C. By reducing food produced within the country.
D. By using double date labeling on packaged food.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Consumer education campaigns are the most important.
B. Only the private sector is helpful in reducing food waste.
C. Private and public joint efforts matter around food issues.
D. Broad Leib doesn’t agree with FLPC on food waste reduction.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了全球粮食捐赠政策地图集最近发布了一份报告，提出了增加粮食捐赠、减少粮食浪费和抗击饥饿的方法有助于肯尼亚实现减少粮食浪费的目标。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Broad Leib 报道的“ While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya’s food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to 1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction. (虽然进展没有达到所需的速度，但肯尼亚的粮食损失指数已经从2017年的1744吨稳步下降到2018年的1531吨，再到2019年的1446吨，这表明肯尼亚在稳步改善，并承诺减少粮食损失)”可知，肯尼亚稳步减少了食物浪费。故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。由第四段“A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. (造成食物浪费的一个主要原因是日期标签不一致或不清晰，这会导致价值链上所有参与者的困惑，并限制企业捐赠食物的能力)”可知，日期标签不确定性会导致困惑并限制捐赠能力，所以划线所在句中通过明确安全日期与品质日期的方式会减少此类困惑，划线词“bewilderment”此处表示“困惑”的含义。A. Sadness.悲伤；B. Convenience.便利；C. Confusion.困惑；D. Emotion.情感。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces bewilderment by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors. (包装食品上的双重日期标签通过明确安全和质量日期来减少困惑。这有助于减少大量浪费，对捐助者负责)”可知Broad Lib认为使用双日期标签能减少肯尼亚的食物浪费。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“FLPC’s research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation. (FLPC的研究表明，公私合作可以帮助提高消费者和捐赠者对食物浪费和食物捐赠问题的认识)”可知，针对食品安全问题，需要私营部门和公共部门的共同努力。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。清明节是中国传统节日，纪念先人，标志春天来临。人们外出赏春，祭扫祖先坟墓，吃绿色糯米球，表达悲喜交集的情感。
【36题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：清明节是中国的一个节日，在中国已经庆祝了几个世纪。“for+一段时间”与现在完成时连用，又因主语Tomb-Sweeping Day(单数意义)与celebrate构成被动关系，故填 has been celebrated。
【37题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：它是中国二十四节气之一，落在公历4月4日或5日。固定搭配either...or...：要么……要么……，故填 or。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：清明也是人们纪念逝去家人的日子。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，family members 是先行词，它在从句中作主语，指人，因此使用who或that引导定语从句，故填who或that。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：人们会外出并欣赏令人惊叹的春色。应使用形容词作定语修饰名词spring，需要的词义为“令人惊叹的”，为amazing，故填 amazing。
【40题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：人们将利用这个机会一起春游，有说有笑地在公园漫步。分析句子结构可知，chat在句子中不作为谓语动词使用，它和they为主动关系，因此使用现在分词作状语，故填 chatting。
【41题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：因此，清明节不仅是一个纪念死者的日子，也是一个人们娱乐的日子。此处应使用动词不定式短语作后置定语修饰day，表示“……的日子”，故填 to memorize。
【42题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：因此，清明节不仅是一个纪念死者的日子，也是一个人们娱乐的日子。固定短语 enjoy oneself意为“玩的开心”，they的反身代词为themselves，故填 themselves。
【43题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：在清明节这天，人们常常会吃一种绿色的由糯米制成的团子。分析句子结构可知，make在句子中不作为谓语动词使用，它和“a kind of green colored balls”之间为被动关系，因此使用过去分词作后置定语，故填 made。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：绿色是添加在大米中的雀麦草的汁液。juice后面有“of brome grass”的修饰，指雀麦草的汁水，为特指意义，故填 the。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：总之，清明节是悲伤和快乐的结合。此处应用所给词的名词形式作介词 of 的宾语，需要的词义为“快乐”，即happiness，它为不可数名词，故填 happiness。

【答案】Dear Jim,
I am very glad to hear from you and delighted to know that you are interested in Chinese food.
During the Spring Festival, it’s a tradition for families to get together and have a big meal. However, the food customs vary from place to place. In northern China, dumplings are the typical food, which represent change and good luck. In contrast, in the southern part, it’s a great time to eat tangyuan. They are sticky rice balls with different fillings. Tangyuan sounds like tuanyuan in Chinese, which means “family reunion”.
When you come to Beijing, Beijing Roast Duck is what you can’t miss. The duck is hung and roasted on flames, shaved into slices, dipped in sweet flour sauce, and wrapped in a paper-thin pancake. I bet it will be an unforgettable experience for you.
Looking forward to meeting you soon!
Yours,
LiHua

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。
Winter break was approaching, and all Scott wanted to do was go snowboarding. Unfortunately, Scott's parents had different plans. They had booked a weeklong tropical cruise (热带船游). Scott hated warm weather and asked if he could just stay at his best friend's house so he could snowboard every day at the local mountain. His parents didn't want to hear anything of it. He kept debating them about the topic, but they would not change their minds. Family time was important to them, and it was tradition that they spend winter break together.
The week of the cruise arrived, and Scott continued to mumble (咕哝) his complaints as he and his family left their house to head south. Scott's dad told him that he would only make the vacation worse for himself if he didn't change his attitude and open his mind to a new experience. Scott still couldn't stop thinking about all of the snow he was leaving behind.
When they arrived at the port to board the ship, Scott had a hard time admitting that he was actually impressed with the size of the ship. He had seen the brochures but seeing the ship in person was a whole different animal. Then he remembered that the brochure said something about a surfing pool. Maybe surfing would be somewhat like snowboarding. After all, it involved riding a board.
Scott climbed aboard the ship with his parents, and then they walked around to check everything out. He couldn't believe how fancy the accommodations were. The dining room looked like a royal hall; the game room had all of his favorite games; the ship's deck (甲板) had several different swimming pools for different purposes. Then Scott saw the surfing pool. It was incredible. It wasn't a big pool, but it had big waves, and the young man who was demonstrating how to ride the waves made it look like a ton of fun.
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。
Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Scott asked his parents if he could try surfing. They said, "Of course. And much to Scott's surprise, they wanted to try surfing too. When Scott and his parents had their swim suits on, Scott's dad went first and only lasted about five seconds before he wiped out.Then it was his mom's turn.She actually made it longer than his dad did. When it was Scott's turn, he was excited but a little bit nervous. He hopped on the board and took a stance similar to his snowboarding stance. Then the waves started. It felt similar to snowboarding but different at the same time. On his first ride, Scott rode for almost 30 seconds before wiping out.He was crazy about it though.
Gradually, Scott began to love the cruise. He got to know the people who often surfed there quite well. By the time the weeklong cruise was over, Scott had new friends he planned to keep in touch. Scott is the brave and lucky one since only eight percent of the experiencer or so really fell in love with it among a lot of the passengers who tried surfing the first day of the cruise. With a new hobby, and great memories, he apologized to his parents for earliest moaning and groaning and told them it was his best vacation ever.
