W: Oh no, the TV isn’t working. There is something I want to watch. What should I do
M: Well, you could read a book, perhaps. Maybe you could go for a walk. There are plenty of other things to do.
Text 2
W: There will be a close basketball match between Class One and our class on the playground this afternoon.
M: How I wish I could have time to watch it!
Text 3
M: I wish I had brought my umbrella with me. My clothes are getting wet through. It was sunny just now when we had lunch.
W: Yes. It seems that we’ll be all wet when we get home.
Text 4
W: Man, I’m tired! Work was so busy. I was running around all night. I tried hard to make my customers happy.
M: Wow! Take off your shoes and rest your feet.
W: Okay. Oh, I brought you some dishes from the restaurant where I work.
Text 5
W: Sir, can I come in now
M: Sorry, lady. I am afraid that you have to wait half an hour for our business hours that are from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
Text 6
W: Josh, please set the table for dinner.
M: Okay, mum. Do we need plates or bowls
W: Both, because we’ll have noodles on the plates and salad in the bowls. In fact, when you’re done at the table, you can make the salad.
M: Can you pass me the cutting board I’ll cut the tomatoes.
W: Only cut two. Leave at least four tomatoes to put in the sauce, and one for breakfast tomorrow. We also need big spoons for the sauce and the noodles.
M: Did you make dessert, too
W: Of course, I baked an apple pie.
Text 7
W: Henry, I heard you went back to your hometown last week.
M: Yes. It has really changed a lot. The river is clear, the streets are cleaner, and there are more trees now.
W: That’s pretty cool! Did you do anything special there
M: Yes. There happened to be an art show that I really enjoyed. A big surprise was that I came across Jason. We knew each other when we were just eight, because my grandparents’ house is quite close to his.
W: Did you go to the same middle school
M: No. But we remained close for a long time.
W: It was nice that you met again.
Text 8
W: Hi, Terry, nice to meet you again after the Easter holiday.
M: Hello, Mia. I’ve just returned to London.
W: Anyway, where did you go on holiday
M: Well, I went to Bali. It’s a wonderful place with beautiful beaches and scenery.
W: It sounds great. What did you do there
M: My family and I spent four nights there. We had a great vacation. On the first day, I swam and went surfing. I also played football in the sand with my brother and some Indians. To my surprise, I also met our history teacher. He was playing volleyball there.
W: Wow. What a small world! What else did you do there
M: The next morning I visited another small island around Bali on a boat. It was a great experience to see many beautiful places and have a talk with tourists there.
W: What did you do before you left Bali
M: On the last day, I went to the shops there. I bought some shirts, shorts, and also traditional clothes. Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford to buy a surfboard.
W: Well, I hope I can also go there someday.
Text 9
W: Henry, I need your advice on my job application letter.
M: OK. Let me see … Well, in Britain, a photo is not expected. It’s unnecessary to include your hobbies as well, because they have nothing to do with the job you’re applying for. I can’t see here that you’ve got a driving license.
W: I didn’t mention it because almost everyone here my age has one. Do I need to put it on my letter
M: Yes. And you’re fluent in Chinese, right
W: Yes. I studied in Nanjing for almost two years as an exchange student. My spoken Chinese is pretty good. I know about 2,000 Chinese characters. I picked up some French while I was teaching Japanese in Paris, but I’m hardly fluent.
M: So let’s include three languages as your skills. Your educational background in Japan is fine, and so is being a teacher in Paris. Why didn’t you mention that you worked for your uncle before
W: I only worked for a month when his office assistant was away. I did photocopying and typing mostly. But I’m not very good at typing. I was too ashamed to include it. Besides, what would happen if anyone gave me a typing test
Text 10
W: And now it’s time for the weather with me, Sean Batty. Just want to say thanks to Mark Wright for taking over the show yesterday while I was at the dentist’s. He did a great job and I noticed he got a haircut as well just for the occasion! So, if you’ve had a look out of your window, you’ll see it’s pretty much the same as yesterday, dry but dark, with highs of 22 degrees. Because of that cloud cover, the temperature isn’t going to drop that much at night, with lows of 16 degrees, which is practically summer here in central Scotland. Not to be serious, but I definitely would not be leaving the house tomorrow without an umbrella, as those gathering clouds are going to bring the rain. How likely is it to rain The chance is 80%, which is pretty much definite. Looking north, it’s going to be cold weather as storms are coming in the mountains. It can get a bit scary if you are driving, so you might wish to delay any journeys you’re planning to make. OK, that’s all for today’s weather report. Next, let’s welcome George Bennett to give us the local news.
第二部分
第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一个为期两周的鲨鱼保护之旅的具体安排和活动细节。
21.D　细节理解题。根据The day-by-day schedule中“Day 1: Arrive in Cape Town on a Sunday.”和“Day 2:…You will receive a welcome and head out to the sea to witness your first sharks!”可知,周日到达Cape Town,第二天出发看鲨鱼。由此可知,在这次鲨鱼保护之旅的日程安排中,周一可以真正开始鲨鱼保护之旅。故选D。
22.A　细节理解题。根据“Day 3+: Most days you will be out on the boat with the sharks, depending on the weather.”可知,如果天气情况许可,第三天你将在海上航行。故选A。
23.D　细节理解题。根据第一段“Take a two-week trip…”和倒数第四段“The price is ￡829…Your trip can be extended at a cost of ￡375 per week.”可知,两周的旅行费用是￡829,之后每延长一周,费用增加￡375,所以三周的旅行费用是:￡829+￡375=￡1,204。故选D。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了Peter Ellis去加蓬热带雨林的经历,这些经历使他重新审视自然保护以及人与自然的关系。
24.C　细节理解题。根据第一段“‘It completely changed the way I think about conservation and our relationship with nature,’ he says.” 可知,Ellis的首次加蓬之行改变了他对自然保护以及人与自然关系的看法,即带给了他深远的影响。故选C项。
25.A　细节理解题。根据第二段“A sustainably logged forest is the one that remains a breathing and rich tropical rainforest full of trees and wildlife, thus helping keep a large part of the biodiversity while ensuring that more damaging industries don’t take its place. It can also provide a means of basic livelihood for the local people.”可知, Ellis通过在加蓬的调查,意识到热带雨林伐木与人们想象的是不一样的,它是一种可持续性的砍伐,可以更好地保护雨林的生态环境,即伐木使雨林保持平衡。故选A项。
26.B　细节理解题。根据第三段的“Science is about exact, designed experiments, but it’s also about asking the right questions. And the people who live in those places and protect the ecosystem are more likely to help us learn what the right questions to ask are.” 可知,Ellis建议科学家在保护雨林方面应该多向当地人请教、 咨询。故选B项。
27.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tropical forests are essential to our planet’s future as they support high levels of biodiversity and act as crucial carbon sinks (碳汇).‘We need to honour, and protect them so that they can do their job to help save us all,’ says Ellis.”可知,本段强调了热带雨林对地球的未来至关重要的原因,由此呼吁我们应该尊重并保护它们,因此最后一段的目的是呼吁人们保护热带雨林。故选D项。
C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现,睡前使用电子产品时,其发出的蓝光会抑制人体褪黑素的合成。褪黑素被抑制会让人迟迟无法入睡,从而减少正常的睡眠时间。文章给出了一些减少睡前使用电子产品的建议。
28.A　词义猜测题。前文“We know it can be hard to put your phone to bed before you sleep.”提到上床睡觉前放下手机对于人们来说是不容易做到的,同时结合该句语境可推知,手机对睡眠是有影响的。因此,想改善睡眠,提高睡眠质量应是将手机放下。由此可推知,ditch应是“放下”的含义。故选A项。
29.B　推理判断题。根据第二段“Melatonin released in the evening helps you relax before bedtime.”可知,夜间褪黑素的产生有利于人的睡眠,由此可推知,褪黑素受到抑制会影响人的睡眠,从而使得人们的睡眠时间少于平时的睡眠时间。故选B项。
30.D　细节理解题。根据第四段“Not only is it easy to set a wake-up time, but the clock includes white noise and rain noise to help you sleep, plus a number of volume settings to pick what works best for you.”可知,the Sharp’s DreamCaster可轻松设置起床时间,有白噪音和雨声助眠功能,且可设置适合自己的音量,由此可知,推荐它是因为它有助于人的睡眠。故选D项。
31.C　推理判断题。根据第五段内容“Take things a step further by avoiding using electronic devices. You can try reading a book (one made of paper), taking a bath or drinking a cup of chamomile tea.”可知,人们睡觉之前要避免使用电子产品,可以看纸质书或洗个澡或喝杯洋甘菊茶,这些有助于睡眠。由此可推知,为了更好的睡眠,人们可以建立一个没有电子设备的就寝习惯。故选C项。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了什么是“好感认知差距”以及它对人们社交关系的影响。
32.B　细节理解题。根据第一段“Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time:‘Did they like me or were they just being polite ’‘Were they deep in thought or deeply bored ’”(最初的对话会对关系如何随时间的推移而发展产生巨大的影响。人们常常会陷入他们认为自己第一次和别人说话结束时可能留下的印象中:“他们是喜欢我还是只是出于礼貌 ”“他们是在沉思还是很无聊 ”)以及第二段“To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research.”(为了弄清楚这些担忧是否有必要,我们进行了近10年的研究。)可知,作者进行近10年的研究是为了调查潜在的偏见。故选B。
33.D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together.”(好感认知差距越大,就越不愿意向同事寻求帮助,越不愿意向同事提供公开和诚实的反馈,越不愿意一起完成另一个项目。)可知,好感认知差距的一个影响是与他人互动的意愿低。故选D。
34.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you zero in on the other person, and the less you focus on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well.”(有很多策略可以减少你的偏见。可以从转移你的注意力开始。试着把你的注意力转移到你的谈话对象身上,真诚地对他们感到好奇,问他们更多的问题,并认真倾听他们的回答。你越关注对方,越少关注自己,你们的对话就会越好,你也就越不会去想那些你认为自己做得不好的事情。)可知,作者在最后一段给出了建议。故选C。
35.C　主旨大意题。根据第三段“Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company—a false belief we call the ‘liking gap’.”(我们一次又一次地发现,人们在结束谈话时对自己留下的印象感到消极。也就是说,人们系统性地低估了交谈对象对自己的喜爱程度和对陪伴的享受程度——这种错误的信念我们称之为“好感认知差距”。)并结合文章主要说明了什么是“好感认知差距”以及它对人们社交关系的影响可知,C选项“人们可能比你想象的更喜欢你”最符合文章标题。故选C。
第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。虽然养宠物对身心健康有很多好处,但我们的宠物也会携带传染病,有时会传染给我们,文章对此进行了介绍并提出了相应措施。
36.A　根据后文“A recent survey found that 69% of Australian households have at least one pet.”可知,此处是指宠物拥有率很高,所以选项A(宠物的拥有率达到了历史最高水平。)切合文意。故选A。
37.G　根据前文“But some people, like those with weakened immune systems, are at greater risk of getting sick.”可知,上文说明饲养宠物可能会有的风险,所以选项G(因此,了解威胁并采取必要措施预防感染非常重要。)切合文意。故选G。
38.B　根据后文“But often there may be no visible signs of sickness, making it easier for you to catch it, because you don’t suspect your pet of carrying pathogens.”可知,前后构成转折关系,空处是指有时候携带病原体的宠物能看出来生病了,所以选项B(有时,感染人畜共患病原体的宠物可能会看出生病了。)切合文意。故选B。
39.F　根据前文“Close contact with animals, some behaviours in particular, increases the risk of zoonotic diseases. Surveys conducted in the Netherlands showed that half of pet owners allowed their pets to lick their faces, and 18% permitted dogs to share their beds.”可知,此处是对会增加患人畜共患病的风险的举动进行举例,所以选项F(此外,45%的猫主人允许他们的猫跳到厨房的水槽上。)切合文意。故选F。
40.E　根据后文“These include washing hands thoroughly after interacting with pets, handling their bedding and toys, and cleaning their waste. It’s also essential to avoid allowing pets to lick faces or open wounds. Moreover, it is advisable to keep pets out of the kitchen, especially cats that may access food preparation surfaces.”可知,此处是指减少感染风险需要采取的措施,所以选项E(为减少患病的风险,应采取若干良好的做法。)切合文意。故选E。
第三部分

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Tony,
I hope this e-mail finds you in good spirits. I’m Li Hua, the Student Union’s president, and I’m glad to express our thrill of having you join us for the farming practice activity at Sunlight Farm.
The event is set for May 1st at 8:00 am, and we will meet at the school plaza. Throughout the day, you’ll engage in planting, watering and harvesting alongside our students, under the guidance of experienced farm staff. It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn about sustainable agriculture and environmental management and foster teamwork.
Please wear comfortable clothing and bring essentials like sunscreen and a water bottle. If you have any questions, feel free to reach me. We’re excited to initiate this enriching experience together. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开。文章讲述了作者在上高中之前,父母送他一部手机,于是他就完全沉迷其中。作者的爸爸计划带全家去户外野营,因没有信号而无法玩手机的作者大发脾气,但却逐渐发现了自然的美丽和家人的陪伴是更加美好的事情。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我没有沉迷于我的手机,而是专注于别的事情:我周围的环境。”可知,第一段可描写作者周围的环境及作者情绪上的变化。
②由第二段首句内容“接下来的四天在许多有趣的活动中转瞬即逝。”可知,第二段可描写四天中作者经历了哪些有趣的活动及通过这次野营作者领悟到的道理。
2.续写线索:欣赏周围的环境—愤怒转为兴奋—没有手机没那么糟糕—野营中有趣的活动—作者的感悟
One possible version:
Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a quarrel that was both loud and sedate at the same time (独立主格;定语从句). My anger turned to peace, and then little interest and, finally, excitement. Standing on the high campsite (现在分词作状语), I felt the weight of stress melt from my shoulders as I viewed the vast expanse that unfolded below me (as引导时间状语从句;定语从句). The sight that met my eyes (定语从句) nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad (动名词作主语;定语从句).
The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after several false starts. We cooked together and I ate the sweetest marshmallows I had ever tasted (定语从句). Dad told me stories of his life, stories I had never heard or perhaps I hadn’t been listening to (定语从句). When the weekend came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my phone once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature (形式主语;主语从句;定语从句).单元素养测评卷(五)

A [2024·福建福州外国语学校高二期中]
Shark conservation in South Africa
Take a two-week trip that you will never forget as a volunteer with sharks on a beautiful stretch of South Africa’s coastline. Head out to the sea to witness one of the world’s most powerful (and most misunderstood) creatures on this inspiring project, enjoying watching them from both above and below water.
The day-by-day schedule
Day 1: Arrive in Cape Town on a Sunday. You will be collected from the airport and spend your first night in a guest house in the city centre.
Day 2: You will be collected bright and early from the guest house and taken down to the project. The drive takes about 90 minutes. You will receive a welcome and head out to the sea to witness your first sharks!
Day 3+: Most days you will be out on the boat with the sharks, depending on the weather. Help out with the full range of tasks on the boat, and conservation initiatives on land too.
Last day: On the final day of your project you will be taken back to Cape Town for your onward travel.
The price is ￡829, including the voluntary work programme with accommodations, airport transfers, one night in a guest house in Cape Town, breakfasts daily and lunches when you are on the boat. Your trip can be extended at a cost of ￡375 per week.
It is an amazing experience! Some volunteers planned to stay for 4 weeks, extended to 6 weeks and still didn’t want to come home. If you’d like to chat about this holiday or need help, we’re very happy to help.
Call us at 01273 823 700.
E-mail us at rosy@.
(　)21.When will you really begin your shark conservation trip
A.On a Friday.　　　　　　B.On a Saturday.
C.On a Sunday. D.On a Monday.
(　)22.What will you probably do on the third day if weather permits
A.Sail on the ocean. B.Return to Cape Town.
C.Buy some souvenirs. D.Dive with sharks.
(　)23.How much will you spend on a three-week shark conservation trip
A.￡375. B.￡750.
C.￡829. D.￡1,204.

Every tropical forest looks different, particularly in the eyes of an ecologist, and Peter Ellis has been lucky enough to visit a fair few. One in particular holds a special place in his heart: the rainforests of Gabon. He first visited there as a Peace Corps volunteer. “It completely changed the way I think about conservation and our relationship with nature,” he says.
These days, Ellis is the global director of natural climate solutions science at the US-based conservation organization—the Nature Conservancy, where he’s presently investigating the role that logging (cutting down trees) can play in tropical forests. Logging for forest conservation may sound contradictory, and it often is. But logging in a tropical forest looks different to the practices we might expect to see. “We might imagine it as a wasteland of stumps(树桩) after a clear cut,” says Ellis. Instead, only a few trees are actually removed. A sustainably logged forest is the one that remains a breathing and rich tropical rainforest full of trees and wildlife, thus helping keep a large part of the biodiversity while ensuring that more damaging industries don’t take its place. It can also provide a means of basic livelihood for the local people.
The two years that Ellis spent in the Gabon’s rainforests opened his eyes to a different method of land management. “The locals took me out into the forest and taught me the names, usage and spiritual significance of all the trees and other plants in the forest,” he says. “Science is about exact, designed experiments, but it’s also about asking the right questions. And the people who live in those places and protect the ecosystem are more likely to help us learn what the right questions to ask are.”
Tropical forests are essential to our planet’s future as they support high levels of biodiversity and act as crucial carbon sinks (碳汇). “We need to honour, and protect them so that they can do their job to help save us all,” says Ellis.

We know it can be hard to put your phone to bed before you sleep. However, if you’re trying to improve your sleep, you really should ditch your phone at least an hour before bedtime. Luckily, our experts can help.
Scientific evidence suggests that the blue light emitted from your phone, tablet computer and TV suppresses (抑制) your body’s production of melatonin, a hormone that plays an important role in your sleep cycle. Melatonin released in the evening helps you relax before bedtime. A 2013 study that analysed technology use and sleep patterns with data from a poll of National Sleep Foundation found that using devices like phones was tied to more sleep disruption than electronics that aren’t interactive.
Many of us use the excuse that our mobile devices serve as our wake-up calls, or keep them nearby to use meditation apps. If you want to use your phone as an alarm, consider setting it a couple of hours before you turn in for the night, and then setting the phone itself to bedtime mode for the rest of the evening.
Here’s another groundbreaking idea: you could get a real alarm clock. After reviewing them at Reviewed, we recommend the Sharp’s DreamCaster. Not only is it easy to set a wake-up time, but the clock includes white noise and rain noise to help you sleep, plus a number of volume settings to pick what works best for you.
But an alarm clock won’t help you avoid doomscrolling through social media. Take things a step further by avoiding using electronic devices. You can try reading a book (one made of paper), taking a bath or drinking a cup of chamomile tea.
Finally, if you want to keep up your meditation practice screen-free, consider the Morphée. It looks like a little music box and comes with a variety of breathing exercises and soundscapes to help you get to sleep.
(　)28.What does the underlined word “ditch” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Set aside. B.Pick up.
C.Show off. D.Turn to.
(　)29.What may be caused by the suppression of melatonin
A.Relaxing yourself before bedtime.
B.Sleeping less than you normally would.
C.Adapting to your sleep cycle more easily.
D.Reducing the pressure from screen use.
(　)30.Why is the Sharp’s DreamCaster recommended
A.It is sold at a lower price.
B.It can predict a heavy rain.
C.It is controlled by a cellphone.
D.It helps you fall asleep.
(　)31.What is suggested for better sleep according to Paragraph 5
A.Making the best of the eco-friendly products.
B.Making a change according to circumstances.
C.Establishing a bedtime routine without electronics.
D.Keeping consistent bedtime and wake-up time.
D
Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: “Did they like me or were they just being polite ” “Were they deep in thought or deeply bored ”
To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterwards, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked.
Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company—a false belief we call the “liking gap”.
This bias (偏见) may seem like something that would occur only in initial interactions, but its effects extend far beyond a first impression. Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with co-workers, persisting long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together.
There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you zero in on the other person, and the less you focus on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well.
(　)32.Why did the author carry out nearly 10 years of research
A.To dismiss national concerns.
B.To check out a potential bias.
C.To enhance human communication.
D.To develop harmonious relationships.
(　)33.What is one effect of people’s liking gap
A.Fewer chances of new projects.
B.Underestimation of their ability.
C.Bad relationships with people around.
D.Low willingness to interact with others.
(　)34.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A.Restate opinions. B.Deliver warnings.
C.Give suggestions. D.Make a summary.
(　)35.Which might be the best title for the text
A.Liking gap may influence work performances
B.First impressions rely on initial conversations
C.People probably like you more than you think
D.How people like you matters less than you assume

Our relationship with pets has changed greatly in recent decades. 36.　　　　 A recent survey found that 69% of Australian households have at least one pet.
While owning a pet is linked to numerous mental and physical health benefits, our pets can also carry infectious diseases that can sometimes be passed on to us. For most people, the risk is low. But some people, like those with weakened immune systems, are at greater risk of getting sick. 37.　　　
Infectious diseases that move from animals to humans are called zoonotic diseases (人畜共患病). More than 70 pathogens (病原体) of companion animals are known to be transmissible to people. 38.　　　　 But often there may be no visible signs of sickness, making it easier for you to catch it, because you don’t suspect your pet of carrying pathogens.
Close contact with animals, some behaviours in particular, increases the risk of zoonotic diseases. Surveys conducted in the Netherlands showed that half of pet owners allowed their pets to lick their faces, and 18% permitted dogs to share their beds. 39.　　　　 Research has also linked occasional zoonotic infections in pet owners to kissing pets. For example, in Japan, a woman developed a serious infectious illness after regularly kissing her dog’s face.
40.　　　　 These include washing hands thoroughly after interacting with pets, handling their bedding and toys, and cleaning their waste. It’s also essential to avoid allowing pets to lick faces or open wounds. Moreover, it is advisable to keep pets out of the kitchen, especially cats that may access food preparation surfaces.
A.Pet ownership is at an all-time high.
B.Sometimes, a pet with a zoonotic pathogen may look sick.
C.Dogs and cats are significant sources of zoonotic infections.
D.But it’s not just dogs and cats that can spread diseases to humans.
E.To minimize the risk of getting sick, several good practices should be adopted.
F.Additionally, 45% of cat owners allowed their cats to jump onto kitchen sinks.
G.So it’s important to know the threats and take necessary action to prevent infections.

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。
A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present.
So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because my mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite.
I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us, their branches threatening to pierce (刺破) the blue sky. I saw a roaring river, with slivers of silky black water appearing between crashing white rapids. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was something far more serious: my phone no longer had service.
The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (改变观点) from a depressive state to anger and back.
I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings.



Paragraph 2:
The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities.
