I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee. Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the “climate shelter” of Asheville, N.C. But less than two months after we moved into our delightfully wooded, mild-weather community, we were forced to leave.
On September 26 the hurricane made its way inland from the Gulf of Mexico through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Along its path, it tore apart community after community. And then it hit western Appalachia. At 2,000 feet above sea level and 300 miles from the coast, Asheville is a place where people went to get away from destructive hurricanes.
That night I couldn’t sleep. Trees crashed down around my home as emergency alerts sounded on my phone. Power lines went down. Roads flooded. Despite being within a mile of the French Broad River, we were not told to evacuate ahead of the storm.
In the morning, after it seemed the worst had passed, a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs. He was thankfully unharmed, but it drove home the severity of what was happening around us. My young daughter held me tightly saying over and over, “I’m scared.”
It was hard to get information about what was going on across Asheville. Within hours, we lost power, Internet and even cell service. A neighbor told me we could get information on the radio, so I sat in my car to listen to the local radio station’s updates. That’s how I learned that the water wasn’t safe to drink. The treatment plant was under eight feet of water and the distribution pipes had washed away.
When we heard it would take weeks or longer to restore basic services, I made plans for my family to leave town. We were lucky—we lived near the one highway that was open, and had a full tank of gas and a place to go. So on Sunday we left Asheville to stay with family on the Outer Banks.
4. The author moved to Asheville, N.C. to ________.
A. get closer to the Gulf of Mexico B. find a new job in South Carolina
C. live near the French Broad River D. flee California’s drought and wildfire
5. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean
A. The family found the house severely damaged.
B. The family felt alarmed by the tree crashing down.
C. The family decided to stay indoors despite the danger.
D. The family realized the pleasure of playing with LEGOs.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. Disasters foster the bonds between the neighbours.
B. The treatment plant should be built deep underwater.
C. Timely access to information is vital during a disaster.
D. Protecting water resources promotes a sense of community.
7. What is the best title of the passage
A. Consequences of a hurricane B. An account of a climate refugee
C. Measures against the climate chaos D. California to Carolina: a failed escape
C
Do you know what percentage of your family’s total expenses is spent on food
This is the main focus of the Engel coefficient (恩格尔系数), an economic concept that describes the relationship between income and spending on food. For years, it has been considered an important measure of people’s living standards. If the figure is high, then it is often believed that the standard of living is low, as a large share of income is spent on food.
However, recently a topic has gone viral (迅速走红) on Chinese social media platforms, where many people have begun to question whether the Engel coefficient is relevant in China.
One of the key reasons for this concern comes from the Chinese attitude toward food shown by the old saying, “Food is of primary importance to the people.” This highlights the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries. The food culture in China is rich and diverse, and people are willing to spend more money and energy on it.
“In the past, I earned 100 yuan a day and spent half of it on food. Now I earn 1,000 yuan a day, and I still spend half of it on food. Having a good meal makes my day,” a user from Hunan commented or. Sina Weibo.
Food in China is a science, a social activity and an art, reported China Highlights. The principles of traditional Chinese medicine are employed all over China to create healthy, well-balanced meals. Whether on a snack street, in a restaurant or at someone's home, food is often the commonground over which people gather to talk and share.
“Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from governance (治理) to communication,” Wang Xuetai, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told Guangming Daily. “Chinese traditional culture focuses on seeing society and life from the perspective of food, and Chinese people are very good at enjoying the beauty and meaning found in everyday meals.”
These factors make consumption habits in China different from those in other countries, making the Engel coefficient not able to completely reflect the living standards of Chinese people. Moreover, this public concern shows just how deeply food is valued in Chinese society, reported Guangming Daily.
8. What does the Engel coefficient indicate
A. The lowest standard of living. B. The cost of basic living expenses.
C. The share of income spent on food. D. The quality of meals people can afford.
9. Why do many people question the relevance of the Engel coefficient in China
A. Rising living standards have made it less relevant.
B. China has a completely different economic system.
C. The Engel coefficient is an outdated economic concept.
D. Chinese food culture and consumption habits are unique.
10. What is the purpose of mentioning the Sina Weibo user’s words in the text
A. To highlight the user’s unique spending habits.
B. To emphasize the importance of saving money.
C. To illustrate the significance of food in Chinese culture.
D. To show the user’s changing income and spending patterns.
11. What role does food play in Chinese culture according to Wang Xuetai
A. It reflects people’s focus on health. B. It shapes modern consumer trends.
C. It is a tool for economic governance. D. It connects spiritual values and social life.
D
Electric vehicles (EVs) are often praised for producing no exhaust fumes, but they still contribute to air pollution. According to recent studies, road traffic is a major source of particulate pollution, with 60% of particles in London coming from non-exhaust (非排放的) sources like brakes, tyres, and road wear.
The most dangerous particles are those smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter, which get into the lungs and reach other organs via the bloodstream. Such dust can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, lung disease and cancer. According to British government statistics, 60% of road-traffic particles below 10 microns come from the gradual breakdown of tyres, brake pads and roads.
In addition to being less well-regulated than exhaust fumes, non-exhaust particles are also less well studied. One study published by researchers at the University of Southampton found that some brake-pad dust (刹车片粉尘) seems to be more damaging to human lungs than particles from diesel fumes. This was in part because it contained higher levels of copper, which can damage cells and DNA.
Although EVs may be dirtier than you think, they are still less polluting than other cars. That is partly because they use an extra braking system called regenerative braking. When the driver removes their foot from the pedal, the continued forward motion of the car is harvested to recharge the battery, thereby slowing the car down.
More radical steps can also be taken. For example, regulating non-exhaust emissions in a similar way to tailpipe fumes would be one way to minimize harm to human health. Though EVs are necessary for the electric transition, they are currently far from emission-free.
12. According to the passage, what is the main source of particulate pollution in London
A. Industrial waste. B. Power plant emissions.
C. Exhaust fumes from petrol cars. D. Non-exhaust particles from brakes and tyres.
13. Why might brake-pad dust be more harmful than diesel fumes
A. Because it contains more heavy metal.
B. Because it is produced in larger quantities.
C. Because it is heavier and stays in the air longer.
D. Because it cannot be filtered by modern air purifiers.
14. What does “regenerative braking” mean in the fourth paragraph
A. Braking method that uses friction to stop the car.
B. Process that repairs worn-out brake pads automatically.
C. System that reduces pollution by filtering exhaust fumes.
D. Technology that recharges the battery while slowing down the car.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The Rise of Electric Vehicles B. EVs: A Solution to Air Pollution
C. Electric Vehicles: Cleaner, But Not Clean D. How to Reduce Traffic-Related Emissions

The Power of Peers
Do birds of a feather really flock together People do tend to choose friends who are similar to them. Many behaviors spread socially. Activities in certain brain areas change when other people are around. ____16____ You can use the power of social relationships to gain healthier habits — and motivate others to do the same.
____17____ Teens are especially responsive to peer influence. At the same time, the reward system in the teen brain becomes extra sensitive. Teens are just learning to explore the social world. Understanding other people’s values and being influenced by them are important parts of socializing.
A research shows that even just having another peer around can change the reward response in the brain and also the risk-taking tendencies of teenagers. Some people seem to be more easily influenced than others and more sensitive to feeling included or excluded by others. ____18____ But it’s also a time that peer influence can help teens thrive if it gets them more involved with their community or helps them learn behaviors to get along with others.
It’s the quality of friendships — not quantity — that really makes the difference. Friendships you feel you want to let go of may be low quality. ____19____ High quality friendships provide understanding, support, and recognition of your self-worth. These types of friendships are more steady and satisfying.
Spending time with friends can be especially helpful for people. Noticing that our behavior is influenced by other people, we can be intentional and try to focus on the people who are doing the things we want to get into ourselves. ____20____
A. Adolescence is such a risky period.
B. That can affect what you choose to do.
C. Peer pressure can sometimes lead to competition.
D. People care about what others think across all different age groups.
E. They are linked to poor academic performance and behavioral issues.

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。
Ethan had always struggled with geography. To him, maps were like puzzles missing half their pieces — no matter how hard he stared, the picture never became clear. Directions slipped through his mind like water through cupped hands, and even his GPS seemed to take perverse pleasure in leading him down dead-end streets. So when Mr. Reynolds announced their history class would be taking a week-long field trip to the ancient capital, Ethan’s stomach twisted with anxiety.
The assignment was straightforward enough navigate the city winding streets, visit key historical sites, and complete observation tasks. While Judy eagerly unfolded maps, tracing routes and excitedly chatted with other classmates, Ethan sat frozen. The crisscrossing streets on his map looked like a plate of spilled spaghetti. “I’ll be lost before noon,” he whispered, shoving the useless paper into his backpack with trembling hands.
On their first morning in the city, Ethan stuck to Judy like glue, mimicking her every turn. But when a street vendor’s display of hand-carved calligraphy brushes caught his eye, he hesitated just a moment too long. When he looked up, the group had disappeared into the sea of tourists. Panic surged through him as he frantically unfolded his map, but every narrow alley looked the same-weathered stone buildings with faded signs in an unfamiliar script. His shouts for help were drowned out by honking scooters and merchants’ cries.
Then he remembered his grandfather’s advice, spoken during a childhood camping trip: “When you’re lost, don’t panic about the whole forest. Pick one tree and walk to it.” Scanning the horizon, Ethan spotted a golden temple in the distance—the same one his group was supposed to visit. Taking a shaky breath, he fixed his eyes on that distant point and began walking, ignoring the confusing side streets.
注意：
1. 续写短文的词数应为150词左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When Ethan finally reached the temple, he was surprised to see his group arguing over the next destination there.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
With Ethan’s guide, the group accomplished all the tasks successfully.

I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee. Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the “climate shelter” of Asheville, N.C. But less than two months after we moved into our delightfully wooded, mild-weather community, we were forced to leave.
On September 26, the hurricane made its way inland from the Gulf of Mexico through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Along its path, it tore apart community after community. And then it hit western Appalachia. At 2,000 feet above sea level and 300 miles from the coast, Asheville is a place where people went to get away from destructive hurricanes.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. Trees crashed down around my home as emergency alerts sounded on my phone. Power lines went down. Roads flooded. Despite being within a mile of the French Broad River, we were not told to evacuate ahead of the storm.
In the morning, after it seemed the worst had passed, a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs. He was thankfully unharmed, but it drove home the severity of what was happening around us. My young daughter held me tightly saying over and over, “I’m scared.”
It was hard to get information about what was going on across Asheville. Within hours, we lost power, Internet and even cell service. A neighbor told me we could get information on the radio, so I sat in my car to listen to the local radio station’s updates. That’s how I learned that the water wasn’t safe to drink. The treatment plant was under eight feet of water and the distribution pipes had washed away.
When we heard it would take weeks or longer to restore basic services, I made plans for my family to leave town. We were lucky—we lived near the one highway that was open, and had a full tank of gas and a place to go. So on Sunday we left Asheville to stay with family on the Outer Banks.
4. The author moved to Asheville, N.C. to ________.
A. get closer to the Gulf of Mexico B. find a new job in South Carolina
C. live near the French Broad River D. flee California’s drought and wildfire
5. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean
A. The family found the house severely damaged.
B. The family felt alarmed by the tree crashing down.
C. The family decided to stay indoors despite the danger.
D. The family realized the pleasure of playing with LEGOs.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. Disasters foster the bonds between the neighbours.
B. The treatment plant should be built deep underwater.
C. Timely access to information is vital during a disaster.
D. Protecting water resources promotes a sense of community.
7. What is the best title of the passage

Do you know what percentage of your family’s total expenses is spent on food
This is the main focus of the Engel coefficient (恩格尔系数), an economic concept that describes the relationship between income and spending on food. For years, it has been considered an important measure of people’s living standards. If the figure is high, then it is often believed that the standard of living is low, as a large share of income is spent on food.
However, recently a topic has gone viral (迅速走红) on Chinese social media platforms, where many people have begun to question whether the Engel coefficient is relevant in China.
One of the key reasons for this concern comes from the Chinese attitude toward food, shown by the old saying, “Food is of primary importance to the people.” This highlights the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries. The food culture in China is rich and diverse, and people are willing to spend more money and energy on it.
“In the past, I earned 100 yuan a day and spent half of it on food. Now I earn 1,000 yuan a day, and I still spend half of it on food. Having a good meal makes my day,” a user from Hunan commented or. Sina Weibo.
Food in China is a science, a social activity and an art, reported China Highlights. The principles of traditional Chinese medicine are employed all over China to create healthy, well-balanced meals. Whether on a snack street, in a restaurant or at someone's home, food is often the commonground over which people gather to talk and share.
“Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from governance (治理) to communication,” Wang Xuetai, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told Guangming Daily. “Chinese traditional culture focuses on seeing society and life from the perspective of food, and Chinese people are very good at enjoying the beauty and meaning found in everyday meals.”
These factors make consumption habits in China different from those in other countries, making the Engel coefficient not able to completely reflect the living standards of Chinese people. Moreover, this public concern shows just how deeply food is valued in Chinese society, reported Guangming Daily.
8. What does the Engel coefficient indicate
A. The lowest standard of living. B. The cost of basic living expenses.
C. The share of income spent on food. D. The quality of meals people can afford.
9. Why do many people question the relevance of the Engel coefficient in China
A. Rising living standards have made it less relevant.
B. China has a completely different economic system.
C. The Engel coefficient is an outdated economic concept.
D. Chinese food culture and consumption habits are unique.
10. What is the purpose of mentioning the Sina Weibo user’s words in the text
A. To highlight the user’s unique spending habits.
B. To emphasize the importance of saving money.
C. To illustrate the significance of food in Chinese culture.
D. To show the user’s changing income and spending patterns.
11. What role does food play in Chinese culture according to Wang Xuetai
A. It reflects people’s focus on health. B. It shapes modern consumer trends.
C. It is a tool for economic governance. D. It connects spiritual values and social life.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, recently a topic has gone viral (迅速走红) on Chinese social media platforms, where many people have begun to question whether the Engel coefficient is relevant in China. (然而，最近一个话题在中国社交媒体平台上迅速走红，许多人开始质疑恩格尔系数在中国是否相关)”以及第四段中“This highlights the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries. (这凸显了中国饮食文化和消费习惯与西方国家的显著差异)”可知，许多人质疑恩格尔系数在中国的相关性，是因为中国的饮食文化和消费习惯具有独特性。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“Food in China is a science, a social activity and an art, reported China Highlights. (据《中国亮点》报道，在中国，饮食是一门科学、一项社会活动和一门艺术)”以及下文对饮食在中国文化中的重要性的描述，可推知，文中提到新浪微博用户的话是为了举例说明食物在中国文化中的重要性。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from governance (治理) to communication,” Wang Xuetai, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told Guangming Daily. (“中国精神文化的许多方面都与食物有关，从治理到交流，”中国社会科学院教授王学泰告诉《光明日报》)”可知，王学泰认为食物在中国文化中连接了精神价值和社会生活。故选D项。

Electric vehicles (EVs) are often praised for producing no exhaust fumes, but they still contribute to air pollution. According to recent studies, road traffic is a major source of particulate pollution, with 60% of particles in London coming from non-exhaust (非排放的) sources like brakes, tyres, and road wear.
The most dangerous particles are those smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter, which get into the lungs and reach other organs via the bloodstream. Such dust can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, lung disease and cancer. According to British government statistics, 60% of road-traffic particles below 10 microns come from the gradual breakdown of tyres, brake pads and roads.
In addition to being less well-regulated than exhaust fumes, non-exhaust particles are also less well studied. One study published by researchers at the University of Southampton found that some brake-pad dust (刹车片粉尘) seems to be more damaging to human lungs than particles from diesel fumes. This was in part because it contained higher levels of copper, which can damage cells and DNA.
Although EVs may be dirtier than you think, they are still less polluting than other cars. That is partly because they use an extra braking system called regenerative braking. When the driver removes their foot from the pedal, the continued forward motion of the car is harvested to recharge the battery, thereby slowing the car down.
More radical steps can also be taken. For example, regulating non-exhaust emissions in a similar way to tailpipe fumes would be one way to minimize harm to human health. Though EVs are necessary for the electric transition, they are currently far from emission-free.
12. According to the passage, what is the main source of particulate pollution in London
A. Industrial waste. B. Power plant emissions.
C. Exhaust fumes from petrol cars. D. Non-exhaust particles from brakes and tyres.
13. Why might brake-pad dust be more harmful than diesel fumes
A Because it contains more heavy metal.
B. Because it is produced in larger quantities.
C. Because it is heavier and stays in the air longer.
D. Because it cannot be filtered by modern air purifiers.
14. What does “regenerative braking” mean in the fourth paragraph
A. Braking method that uses friction to stop the car.
B. Process that repairs worn-out brake pads automatically.
C. System that reduces pollution by filtering exhaust fumes.
D Technology that recharges the battery while slowing down the car.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The Rise of Electric Vehicles B. EVs: A Solution to Air Pollution
C. Electric Vehicles: Cleaner, But Not Clean D. How to Reduce Traffic-Related Emissions
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“One study published by researchers at the University of Southampton found that some brake-pad dust (刹车片粉尘) seems to be more damaging to human lungs than particles from diesel fumes. This was in part because it contained higher levels of copper, which can damage cells and DNA.(南安普顿大学的研究人员发表的一项研究发现，一些刹车片粉尘似乎比柴油烟雾中的颗粒对人体肺部的损害更大。这在一定程度上是因为它含有更高水平的铜，而铜会损害细胞和DNA)”可知，刹车片粉尘更有害是因含更多重金属（铜）。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“That is partly because they use an extra braking system called regenerative braking. When the driver removes their foot from the pedal, the continued forward motion of the car is harvested to recharge the battery, thereby slowing the car down.(这在一定程度上是因为它们使用了一种称为再生制动的额外制动系统。当司机把脚从踏板上移开时，汽车持续向前的运动就会被收集起来给电池充电，从而使汽车减速)”可知，再生制动是一种在减速时充电的技术。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Electric vehicles（EVs）are often praised for producing no exhaust fumes, but they still contribute to air pollution.(电动汽车（EV）经常因不产生废气而受到称赞，但它们仍然会造成空气污染)”和第五段中“Though EVs are necessary for the electric transition, they are currently far from emission-free.(虽然电动汽车是电力转型的必要条件，但它们目前远非零排放)”可知，文章解释了电动汽车为什么也会造成空气污染，标题应突出电动汽车更清洁但不完全干净的主题。C项“电动汽车：更清洁，但不干净”最适合作为标题。故选C。

【答案】Dear Mr. Daniel,
I’m writing to express my thoughts on the two slogans proposed for the upcoming Dragon Boat Race on campus. Plan A, “Row with Heritage-Sail into Tradition!”, beautifully links the sport with our cultural heritage, emphasizing a connection to our roots. However, Plan B, “Unite, Compete, Celebrate-Feel the Dragon’s Power!”, is more dynamic and inclusive, encouraging teamwork, competition, and celebration all at once.
Personally, I prefer Plan B. It not only captures the essence of the race but also inspires a sense of unity and excitement among participants and spectators alike. The phrase “Feel the Dragon’s Power!” adds a touch of magic and strength, making it more memorable and engaging.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Ethan had always struggled with geography. To him, maps were like puzzles missing half their pieces — no matter how hard he stared, the picture never became clear. Directions slipped through his mind like water through cupped hands, and even his GPS seemed to take perverse pleasure in leading him down dead-end streets. So when Mr. Reynolds announced their history class would be taking a week-long field trip to the ancient capital, Ethan’s stomach twisted with anxiety.
The assignment was straightforward enough navigate the city winding streets, visit key historical sites, and complete observation tasks. While Judy eagerly unfolded maps, tracing routes and excitedly chatted with other classmates, Ethan sat frozen. The crisscrossing streets on his map looked like a plate of spilled spaghetti. “I’ll be lost before noon,” he whispered, shoving the useless paper into his backpack with trembling hands.
On their first morning in the city, Ethan stuck to Judy like glue, mimicking her every turn. But when a street vendor’s display of hand-carved calligraphy brushes caught his eye, he hesitated just a moment too long. When he looked up, the group had disappeared into the sea of tourists. Panic surged through him as he frantically unfolded his map, but every narrow alley looked the same-weathered stone buildings with faded signs in an unfamiliar script. His shouts for help were drowned out by honking scooters and merchants’ cries.
Then he remembered his grandfather’s advice, spoken during a childhood camping trip: “When you’re lost, don’t panic about the whole forest. Pick one tree and walk to it.” Scanning the horizon, Ethan spotted a golden temple in the distance—the same one his group was supposed to visit. Taking a shaky breath, he fixed his eyes on that distant point and began walking, ignoring the confusing side streets.
注意：
1. 续写短文的词数应为150词左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When Ethan finally reached the temple, he was surprised to see his group arguing over the next destination there.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
With Ethan’s guide, the group accomplished all the tasks successfully.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
When Ethan finally reached the temple, he was surprised to see his group arguing over the next destination there. Judy was pointing frantically at her map, while others debated conflicting routes. Mr. Reynolds looked helplessly at the tangled streets. Ethan hesitated, then stepped forward. “The Imperial Archives,” he said quietly, recalling the assignment sheet. “It’s due west. See that bell tower beyond the square ” He gestured toward a distinct spire piercing the skyline. “Head straight for it, then turn left at the stone fountain.” The group fell silent, staring at him in disbelief. Judy checked her map and nodded slowly. “He’s right,” she confirmed, her voice tinged with relief.
With Ethan’s guide, the group accomplished all the tasks successfully. He led them not by complex maps, but by identifying clear landmarks: a red-tiled rooftop, an ancient oak tree, or a bridge’s arched shadow. Each destination became a single “tree” in his grandfather’s forest. To everyone’s amazement, Ethan navigated shortcuts even Judy missed. By week’s end, his anxiety had melted into quiet confidence. On the bus ride home, Mr. Reynolds praised his remarkable sense of direction. Ethan smiled, realizing geography wasn’t about memorizing every turn, but learning to see the guiding points in the maze.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ethan向来地理不好，地图对他而言如同缺了一半拼图的谜题。当历史课要去古都进行为期一周的实地考察时，他十分焦虑。第一天，他跟丢了队伍，慌乱中想起爷爷的建议，通过远处的金色寺庙找到方向。之后，他凭借地标带领小组成功完成任务，明白地理的关键在于在迷宫中找到指引点，而非记住每一个转弯。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当伊桑终于到达寺庙时，他惊讶地看到他的团队在争论下一个目的地”可知，第一段可描写他凭借地标带领小组成功完成任务的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“在伊桑的指导下，小组成功地完成了所有任务”可知，第二段可描写伊桑明白地理的关键在于在迷宫中找到指引点，而非记住每一个转弯。
