Where do you expect to see graffiti (涂鸦)? Probably not in a museum. Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, in the south-west of England, was the kind of place you went to see classical statues and stuffed animals in cases until the arrivals of the ‘Banksy Versus the Bristol Museum’ exhibition in 2009. The exhibition hosted more than 100 works by Banksy, one of the world’s most famous graffiti artists.
Banksy is a man of mystery (神秘). He hardly ever gives interviews and likes to be anonymous (匿名的). Nobody knows much about his life or his background but many people believe that his real name is either Robin Cunningham, Robert Banks or Robin Banks and that he was born in 1973 near Bristol.
Banksy’s questioned ‘street art’ includes paintings on live sheep and cows and graffiti on the huge wall put up to divide two areas. Brand Pitt spent over 82 million on a Bansky original. Banksy designed an album cover for the Britpop group Blur in 2003 but he has refused requests to do adverts for Nike. A year after the Bristol exhibition, Banksy made a film called Exit Through the Gift Shop. The film tells the story of a French street artist in America. Exit Through the Gift Shop received many positive reviews. Nobody knows if it was about a real artist or an invented character from Banksy’s imagination.
Bristol isn’t the only place in Britain to welcome graffiti. The DPM Park in Dundee, Scotland has the longest legal graffiti wall (almost 110m long) in the UK. Anyone can paint on the council-owned wall any time they like. Mike Crilley, the graffiti wall project organiser, promotes the positive side of graffiti and runs workshops for local children.
Is everyone doing graffiti? Can we do graffiti where we want these days? Not exactly. It’s illegal to paint on somebody else’s possessions, so make sure you find a legal graffiti wall like the one in Dundee if you want to have a go.
24. Why is Banksy a man of mystery?
A. His works are mainly set in Bristol. B. His works are not universally recognized.
C. He’s likely to use a penname in his works D. He comes from an area unfamilar to others.
25. What can be inferred about Exit Through the Gift Shop?
A. It was produced in the year 2010. B. It was based on Banksy’s true story.
C. It was directed and starred by Banksy. D. It was filmed for the Bristol exhibition.
26. Where can you do graffiti according to the author?
A. On any wall in the UK. B. On somebody’s outer wall.
C. In Mike Crilley’s workshops. D. In any nation-owned parks.
27. What does the passage mainly tell about?
A. Different opinions on graffiti. B. Britain’s famous graffiti artist.
C. Banksy’s most successful graffiti. D. Graffiti in major cities in the world.
C
Going to the gym can take time and effort, it often hurts, and it can be extremely tiresome. Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps (组和次). In order to see any significant change from any exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, fora minimum of three sets, for about three months. For some, there’s nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill (跑步机).
But what if there were a way to relieve the tedium of exercise while still getting a good workout? Luckily for us there’s virtual reality.
Many VR games are played while standing. In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it’s not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter. There are already a number of virtual reality games which, intentionally or not, result in their player ‘getting a good sweat on’ if played for enough time. For example, there’s a first person shooter which forces the player to sidestep, duck and other sport actions. That’s cardio (有氧运动). Or there’s a music game which forces players to shadowbox in order to hit the notes—that’s an upper-body workout.
The potential for VR to help people get fit has been noticed by one company. They want to take the whole experience into the gym. They are making a resistance machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. So don’t hang up your gym shorts just yet.
Although it’s early days, for those of us who struggle to keep passionate about exercise, anew solution could be coming. And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want—virtual or not.
28. In paragraph l, the author mainly conveys that going to the gym__________.
A. cannot avoid being hurt B. is hard to hold on
C. makes sense in a short time D. means three months of exercise
29. What does the underlined word “tedium” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Boredom. B. Tiredness. C. Expense. D. Inconvenience.
30. What can be concluded about the 30-minute VR full-body workout?
A. Several security problems have been solved.
B. The relevant equipment has complex designs.
C. It has turned out to be very effective and popular.
D. It may be unavailable due to some disadvantages.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards virtual exercise in the future?
A. Indifferent. B. Positive.
C. Tolerant. D. Doubtful.
D
All three of my children were subject-matter experts before they even left primary school. My eldest son memorized every statistic on every football trading card he got his hands on. His brother knew hundreds of car makes and models by heart. And I’m sure that my daughter — a huge One Direction fan — remembered more facts about the band than they did! The experience of becoming an expert can bring long-term benefits for learning — and it’s never too late. “Having a specialist subject helps you learn anything,” says our memory expert, Jonathan Hancock, “There are good reasons for all of us to do a spot of specialist learning.”
It schools our observation: a vital first step to remembering. Children are particularly good at seeing slight differences — like my younger son and his cars — then using them to organize information and inspire recall. But focused learning like this can push anyone to start noticing key details — ready to remember them.
It gives us a mental framework (框架), to which we can attach unrelated ideas. Even when his trading-card period was over, my son often linked new numbers with stored-away sports statistics. Your own area of interest might help you by suggesting soundalike words for people’s names, or letting you “map” travel directions.
It gets us learning in a variety of ways, often with the help of all our senses. My daughter’s pop knowledge was a rich mix of music, dances and colourful costumes, with precise facts. Burying yourself in a subject boosts your brain to work at its best.
It restores our confidence to remember. We get to see what a difference it makes to be interested in something, to build up information in layers (层次), and to keep refreshing, testing and showing off what we know. It can give all our learning a boost.
Why not pick a topic that interests you, find some books, take a course, join a club... and enjoy becoming at least an entry-level expert? Even a short spell of specialist study can reawaken learning skills that used to feel like child’s play.
32. What do the author’s children have in common?
A. Having a variety of hobbies. B. Dreaming of being a top-class expert.
C. Learning school subjects well. D. Showing exceptional talent in their areas.
33. Which probably belongs to a mental framework?
A. Recognizing a pair of twins. B. Lecturing at an opening ceremony.
C. Learning English by watching a film. D. Planning a tour route in a strange city.
34. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To advocate. B. To confirm. C. To evaluate. D. To explain.
35. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Raise Children’s Memory B. Remember Like an Expert
C. Reform Learning Methods D. Reawaken Learning Skills

67. 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。
The past summer in Antarctica, Elaine had spent long hours inside the plain, practical buildings of the MeMurdo research station. Her job was to look after the fire-fighting equipment and fire alarms of this remote outpost. But on her days off, Elaine loved to go skiing and explore the ice and caves beyond the station.
With winter coming, she’d be heading home soon. But before she left there was one more thing Elaine wanted to do. She was determined to see a penguin (企鹅) — up close. She’d heard interesting tales from the biologists, about how penguins played and took care of one another, how they were curious and often approached people. She had spotted a few, but only from far away. But that night after dinner, someone said there was a lone penguin on the ice on the far side of the station. Elaine rushed out, hoping to get a closer look.
Now she was filled with excitement.... and cold. The day had been sunny and warm (for Antarctica, meaning around 20°F or-6℃, still below freezing). But a sudden storm could drop the temperature by 50°in just a few minutes. The glacier’s (冰川) huge pressure created crevasses (冰裂缝) — deep blue holes in the ice beneath the snowy surface, If someone dropped into the crevasse, nobody would ever find him.
A frosty wind blew, and she reached up to cover her bare ear. Oh no, where was her hat? Elaine had left her backpack — with her warm coal, hat, and emergency radio — back at MeMurdo! Normally, she carried that orange pack everywhere. But hearing about the penguin, she’d rushed out without her backpack and she was out on the ice alone.
Maybe the cold had slowed down her brain, but Elaine didn’t consider the danger. All she could think of was the penguin. Watching the penguin coming closer, she spied a flash of yellow. It was an emperor penguin! Elaine followed the bird farther out on the ice, away from the base.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Soon the penguin stood right in front of her.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly, a strong wind knocked her off. She was lying on a thin skin of ice above a deep hole.

【原文】W: How come you haven’t gone to bed, Mark? You have to get up early for school tomorrow.
M: I know. But I’m attracted by the news about a baby eagle in danger.
W: A baby eagle in danger? I know snakes sometimes feed on baby eagles. Was it facing a snake?
M: No. It was sleeping comfortably in its nest on top of a cliff. But when its parents took off for the sky, the little eagle was accidentally knocked out of the nest.
W: Oh, the poor little thing! What happened next?
M: Luckily, it landed somewhere below the nest and survived, but it was unable to get back. It was noticed by some people in charge of a reintroduction program for eagles.
W: So what did they do?
M: They formed a rescue team, and hiked for an hour to save the baby bird. Finally it returned to the nest.
W: Why would they make such a great effort to save a bird?
M: There are just eight pairs of eagles on the island. So every bird counts.
W: You’re right. By the way, I’m not available tomorrow and your father will attend the parent-teacher conference tomorrow.
M: OK. Good night.

Where do you expect to see graffiti (涂鸦)? Probably not in a museum. Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, in the south-west of England, was the kind of place you went to see classical statues and stuffed animals in cases until the arrivals of the ‘Banksy Versus the Bristol Museum’ exhibition in 2009. The exhibition hosted more than 100 works by Banksy, one of the world’s most famous graffiti artists.
Banksy is a man of mystery (神秘). He hardly ever gives interviews and likes to be anonymous (匿名的). Nobody knows much about his life or his background but many people believe that his real name is either Robin Cunningham, Robert Banks or Robin Banks and that he was born in 1973 near Bristol.
Banksy’s questioned ‘street art’ includes paintings on live sheep and cows and graffiti on the huge wall put up to divide two areas. Brand Pitt spent over 82 million on a Bansky original. Banksy designed an album cover for the Britpop group Blur in 2003 but he has refused requests to do adverts for Nike. A year after the Bristol exhibition, Banksy made a film called Exit Through the Gift Shop. The film tells the story of a French street artist in America. Exit Through the Gift Shop received many positive reviews. Nobody knows if it was about a real artist or an invented character from Banksy’s imagination.
Bristol isn’t the only place in Britain to welcome graffiti. The DPM Park in Dundee, Scotland has the longest legal graffiti wall (almost 110m long) in the UK. Anyone can paint on the council-owned wall any time they like. Mike Crilley, the graffiti wall project organiser, promotes the positive side of graffiti and runs workshops for local children.
Is everyone doing graffiti? Can we do graffiti where we want these days? Not exactly. It’s illegal to paint on somebody else’s possessions, so make sure you find a legal graffiti wall like the one in Dundee if you want to have a go.
24. Why is Banksy a man of mystery?
A His works are mainly set in Bristol. B. His works are not universally recognized.
C. He’s likely to use a penname in his works D. He comes from an area unfamilar to others.
25. What can be inferred about Exit Through the Gift Shop?
A. It was produced in the year 2010. B. It was based on Banksy’s true story.
C. It was directed and starred by Banksy. D. It was filmed for the Bristol exhibition.
26. Where can you do graffiti according to the author?
A. On any wall in the UK. B. On somebody’s outer wall.
C. In Mike Crilley’s workshops. D. In any nation-owned parks.
27. What does the passage mainly tell about?
A. Different opinions on graffiti. B. Britain’s famous graffiti artist.
C. Banksy’s most successful graffiti. D. Graffiti in major cities in the world.

Going to the gym can take time and effort, it often hurts, and it can be extremely tiresome. Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps (组和次). In order to see any significant change from any exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, fora minimum of three sets, for about three months. For some, there’s nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill (跑步机).
But what if there were a way to relieve the tedium of exercise while still getting a good workout? Luckily for us, there’s virtual reality.
Many VR games are played while standing. In order to play properly, the player is forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs. After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it’s not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter. There are already a number of virtual reality games which, intentionally or not, result in their player ‘getting a good sweat on’ if played for enough time. For example, there’s a first person shooter which forces the player to sidestep, duck and other sport actions. That’s cardio (有氧运动). Or there’s a music game which forces players to shadowbox in order to hit the notes—that’s an upper-body workout.
The potential for VR to help people get fit has been noticed by one company. They want to take the whole experience into the gym. They are making a resistance machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. So don’t hang up your gym shorts just yet.
Although it’s early days, for those of us who struggle to keep passionate about exercise, anew solution could be coming. And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want—virtual or not.
28. In paragraph l, the author mainly conveys that going to the gym__________.
A. cannot avoid being hurt B. is hard to hold on
C. makes sense in a short time D. means three months of exercise
29. What does the underlined word “tedium” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Boredom. B. Tiredness. C. Expense. D. Inconvenience.
30. What can be concluded about the 30-minute VR full-body workout?
A. Several security problems have been solved.
B. The relevant equipment has complex designs.
C. It has turned out to be very effective and popular.
D. It may be unavailable due to some disadvantages.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards virtual exercise in the future?
A. Indifferent. B. Positive.
C. Tolerant. D. Doubtful.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了去健身房锻炼的枯燥和劳累,提出了虚拟现实VR游戏作为一种新颖的锻炼方式,可以边玩边健身。通过站立操作和身体活动,一些VR游戏能让玩家在不知觉中提升体能。一家公司看到了VR的健身潜力,正在开发结合VR头盔的健身器材。虽然目前设备成本高且存在安全隐患,但对于那些难以保持锻炼热情的人来说,VR健身提供了一个新的选择。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Going to the gym can take time and effort, it often hurts, and it can be extremely tiresome. Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps (组和次). In order to see any significant change from any exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, fora minimum of three sets, for about three months. For some, there’s nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill (跑步机).”(去健身房需要时间和精力,经常会受伤,而且会非常令人厌倦。大多数与重量相关的练习都是一组一次的组合。为了看到任何锻炼的显著变化,它可能需要重复六到八次,至少三组,持续大约三个月。对一些人来说,没有什么比在跑步机上无休止地跑步更无聊的了。)可推知,在第一段中,作者主要表达了去健身房很难坚持下去。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中“For some, there’s nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill .”(对一些人来说,没有什么比在跑步机上无休止地跑步更无聊的了。)提到健身房跑步的无聊,以及划线单词句中“…while still getting a good workout?”(同时又能得到良好的锻炼呢?)和下一句“Luckily for us, there’s virtual reality.”(幸运的是,我们有了虚拟现实。)由此可知,此处为有一种方法可以缓解运动的枯燥感。故可此处划线单词tedium为“枯燥,无聊”的意思,结合选项A项Boredom“无聊”意思一致。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Players challenge a virtual opponent in a series of games, which results in a 30-minute full-body workout. However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out. So don’t hang up your gym shorts just yet.”(玩家在一系列游戏中挑战一个虚拟对手,结果是30分钟的全身锻炼。然而,设备成本昂贵,还有安全问题需要解决。所以先别挂起你的运动短裤。)可推知,由于某些不利因素,30分钟的VR全身锻炼可能无法进行。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although it’s early days, for those of us who struggle to keep passionate about exercise, anew solution could be coming. And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want—virtual or not.”(虽然现在还为时尚早,但对于我们这些努力保持锻炼热情的人来说,新的解决方案可能会出现。一个人可以同时锻炼和娱乐的世界可能是许多人想要的——不管是不是虚拟的。)可推知,作者对未来虚拟锻炼的态度是积极乐观的。故选B项。
D
All three of my children were subject-matter experts before they even left primary school. My eldest son memorized every statistic on every football trading card he got his hands on. His brother knew hundreds of car makes and models by heart. And I’m sure that my daughter — a huge One Direction fan — remembered more facts about the band than they did! The experience of becoming an expert can bring long-term benefits for learning — and it’s never too late. “Having a specialist subject helps you learn anything,” says our memory expert, Jonathan Hancock, “There are good reasons for all of us to do a spot of specialist learning.”
It schools our observation: a vital first step to remembering. Children are particularly good at seeing slight differences — like my younger son and his cars — then using them to organize information and inspire recall. But focused learning like this can push anyone to start noticing key details — ready to remember them.
It gives us a mental framework (框架), to which we can attach unrelated ideas. Even when his trading-card period was over, my son often linked new numbers with stored-away sports statistics. Your own area of interest might help you by suggesting soundalike words for people’s names, or letting you “map” travel directions.
It gets us learning in a variety of ways, often with the help of all our senses. My daughter’s pop knowledge was a rich mix of music, dances and colourful costumes, with precise facts. Burying yourself in a subject boosts your brain to work at its best.
It restores our confidence to remember. We get to see what a difference it makes to be interested in something, to build up information in layers (层次), and to keep refreshing, testing and showing off what we know. It can give all our learning a boost.
Why not pick a topic that interests you, find some books, take a course, join a club... and enjoy becoming at least an entry-level expert? Even a short spell of specialist study can reawaken learning skills that used to feel like child’s play.
32. What do the author’s children have in common?
A. Having a variety of hobbies. B. Dreaming of being a top-class expert.
C. Learning school subjects well. D. Showing exceptional talent in their areas.
33. Which probably belongs to a mental framework?
A. Recognizing a pair of twins. B. Lecturing at an opening ceremony.
C. Learning English by watching a film. D. Planning a tour route in a strange city.
34. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To advocate. B. To confirm. C. To evaluate. D. To explain.
35. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Raise Children’s Memory B. Remember Like an Expert
C. Reform Learning Methods D. Reawaken Learning Skills
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述了作者三个孩子在小的时候就对某一领域有着深入的了解和专业知识。文章通过实例阐述了成为某个领域的专家对学习带来的长期益处,包括培养观察力,提供心理框架,多样化的学习方式以及增强自信心等。最后鼓励读者选择自己感兴趣的领域进行深入学习,即使是短期的专业学习也能激发出曾经像孩子玩耍的学习技能。
【32题详解】

The experience of becoming an expert can bring long-term benefits for learning—and it’s never too late.”(我的三个孩子在小学毕业之前就已经是学科专家了。我的大儿子记住了他拿到的每一张足球交易卡上的每一个数据。他哥哥对数百种汽车的品牌和型号都熟记于心。我敢肯定,我的女儿——一个One Direction乐队的超级粉丝——记得更多关于乐队的事情!成为专家的经历可以为学习带来长期的好处,而且永远不会太晚。)可推知,作者的孩子都在各自的领域表现出非凡的天赋。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It gives us a mental framework (框架), to which we can attach unrelated ideas. Even when his trading-card period was over, my son often linked new numbers with stored-away sports statistics. Your own area of interest might help you by suggesting soundalike words for people’s names, or letting you “map” travel directions.”(它给了我们一个心理框架,我们可以把不相关的想法附加到这个框架上。即使他的交易卡期结束了,我儿子也经常把新号码和储存的体育数据联系起来。你自己感兴趣的领域可能会对你有所帮助,比如为人们的名字提供发音相似的单词,或者让你“绘制”旅行路线。)可知,在一个陌生的城市规划旅游路线可能属于一个心理框架。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Why not pick a topic that interests you, find some books, take a course, join a club ... and enjoy becoming at least an entry-level expert? Even a short spell of specialist study can reawaken learning skills that used to feel like child’s play.”(为什么不选择一个你感兴趣的话题,找一些书,参加一个课程,加入一个俱乐部……享受成为至少一个入门级的专家?即使是短时间的专业学习也能重新唤醒过去感觉像孩子玩耍的学习技能。)可推知,最后一段的目的是表明作者提倡的做法。故选A项。

【38题详解】
根据下文“Therefore, if collected steadily over the years, they become the backbone of any working garden, offering a ready pot for a month or two of growing on; a permanent home for repeat-flowering flowers lasting for seasons; or a decorative feature for a greenhouse.”(因此,如果多年来稳定地收集,它们就会成为任何一个花园的支柱,提供一个现成的花盆,可以生长一两个月;一个永久的家,让反复开花的花朵持续四季;或者作为温室的装饰。)提到陶瓷花盆的稳定性以及长久性。结合选项A项They are durable.(它们很耐用。)可知,和下文内容紧密连接,与下文提到的反复使用,成为花园的支柱相呼应,符合语境。故选A项。
【39题详解】

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
The past summer in Antarctica, Elaine had spent long hours inside the plain, practical buildings of the MeMurdo research station. Her job was to look after the fire-fighting equipment and fire alarms of this remote outpost. But on her days off, Elaine loved to go skiing and explore the ice and caves beyond the station.
With winter coming, she’d be heading home soon. But before she left there was one more thing Elaine wanted to do. She was determined to see a penguin (企鹅) — up close. She’d heard interesting tales from the biologists, about how penguins played and took care of one another, how they were curious and often approached people. She had spotted a few, but only from far away. But that night after dinner, someone said there was a lone penguin on the ice on the far side of the station. Elaine rushed out, hoping to get a closer look.
Now she was filled with excitement.... and cold. The day had been sunny and warm (for Antarctica, meaning around 20°F or-6℃, still below freezing). But a sudden storm could drop the temperature by 50°in just a few minutes. The glacier’s (冰川) huge pressure created crevasses (冰裂缝) — deep blue holes in the ice beneath the snowy surface, If someone dropped into the crevasse, nobody would ever find him.
A frosty wind blew, and she reached up to cover her bare ear. Oh no, where was her hat? Elaine had left her backpack — with her warm coal, hat, and emergency radio — back at MeMurdo! Normally, she carried that orange pack everywhere. But hearing about the penguin, she’d rushed out without her backpack and she was out on the ice alone.
Maybe the cold had slowed down her brain, but Elaine didn’t consider the danger. All she could think of was the penguin. Watching the penguin coming closer, she spied a flash of yellow. It was an emperor penguin! Elaine followed the bird farther out on the ice, away from the base.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Soon the penguin stood right in front of her.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly, a strong wind knocked her off. She was lying on a thin skin of ice above a deep hole.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Soon the penguin stood right in front of her. Its stately figure was standing out against the backdrop of the icy landscape. Elaine’s heart skipped a beat as she admired its regal appearance. The emperor penguin tilted its head and peered at her with curious eyes, almost as if it were inviting her to come closer. Elaine slowly inched forward, feeling a sense of awe and joy wash over her.
Suddenly, a strong wind knocked her off. She was lying on a thin skin of ice above a deep hole. Her heart was pounding in her chest. With a jolt of panic, she realized how perilous her situation was. She struggled to get up, but the thin ice gave way under her weight, sending her sliding towards the abyss. Just as she was about to lose her balance, she grasped onto a chunk of ice and managed to pull herself back onto the safer side.
