原试题呈现:
①On Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing with his father at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. They had a wonderful day and decided to drive home to Massachusetts after a final run. They took a chairlift to the top of the mountain, where they split up to go down in different trails. When the father finished his run, he headed to the parking lot to wait for his son. However, Nicholas never showed up.
②It turned out that a fierce snowstorm had swept into the area as Nicholas was on his way down. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off (拐出) the path and ventured down the west side of the mountain. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost and all alone. His way back to the ski trails was blocked. What’s worse, he didn’t have any food or water with him, let alone his cell phone or other supplies. The sun began to sink and he was getting colder by the minute.
③Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about Bear Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild that he used to watch on TV. In the show, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to help himself out. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
④He decided to stop moving around. He needed the energy, and the winds weren’t as strong in the valley where he stood as they were up on the mountain. Plus, there was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to seek shelter from the freezing wind and snow. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
⑤When evening came, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate some snow and drank some water from a nearby stream so that he wouldn’t dehydrate (脱水). Then he returned to his cave and slept.
第一段:When Nicholas didn’t show up, his father realized there must be something wrong.
第二段:The next day, Nicholas heard the sound of a snowmobile.
