B Some people never read any books again and feel that since they already know the outcome, there is nothing to be gained by rereading. I have to dissent. I am reminded of a professor in college, who always had us read our assignments twice. “The first time, read fast and for fun,” he said. “The second time, look for delicate distinctions and small differences in meaning.” His suggestion works great for me. When I have a new book, I read fast, eager to discover the resolution. Then if I like the book, I will read it again. Not right away, but a few months later, possibly on a rainy Sunday afternoon, I will grab the book and settle down to discover the small details. I will read more slowly the second time, appreciating the descriptions and looking forward to my favorite sections, enjoying the anticipation. Knowing those favorite passages are coming does not spoil anything. I’m looking forward to revisiting those treasured places in the book. Knowing they are coming heightens my enjoyment. Rereading a book gives me a chance to appreciate the small things an author integrates into her story. A turn of a character’s head, a thought in the night, a sigh, these are the things that give insights into a book and the characters. I love dissecting (剖析) a story the second time around, looking for clues that give the tale a deep meaning. Reading is like revisiting a friend, familiar, yet always with something more inside. What have I been reading lately? The Merlin Trilogy by Mary Stewart. These books rank among my all-time favorite rereads. Set in Britain in roughly the second half of the 5th century CE, they were Mary Stewart’s take on the familiar King Arthur stories. If you are unfamiliar with them, I highly recommend all three books, especially if you love fantasy and historical fiction. 24. What does the underlined word “descent” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Understand. B. Disagree. C. Complain. D. Discontinue. 25. According to the author’s professor, what should one do during the second reading? A. Look for assignment clues. B. Pay attention to the minor details. C. Stick to the most interesting sections. D. Skip some parts to get to the end fast. 26. What does the author enjoy about rereading a book? A. Visiting the places mentioned in the book. B. Discovering the resolution of the story quickly. C. Finding out the lessons learned by the characters. D. Appreciating the writer’s storytelling techniques. 27. What is The Merlin Trilogy? A. The author’s new favorites. B. A series of science-fiction novels. C. Books based on ancient British stories. D. Mary Stewart’s successful adaptations. C When Kurt Benirschke started collecting skin samples from endangered animals in 1972, he didn’t have a firm plan on what to do with them. As a researcher at the University of California San Diego, he believed that one day these samples would be used to save these animals. A few years later, he moved his collection to the San Diego Zoo, and called it the Frozen Zoo. For a long time, it was the only project of its kind; however, in recent years, similar conservation efforts have spread globally, and tools that Benirschke didn’t yet have are now available. Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank(生物冷冻库), holding samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species, in the hope that one day science can bring them back as a species. The Frozen Zoo’s advanced technology is the key to its success in saving species from extinction. By using cryopreservation techniques, the zoo can store cells and tissues from endangered animals. The stored genetic material can be used for research, breeding(繁殖) programs, and potentially even cloning or genetic engineering to restore endangered species. By protecting the genetic heritage of endangered animals, the Frozen Zoo provides hope for the survival of species that would otherwise be at risk of dying out, and the preservation of Earth’s precious biodiversity. It has inspired the establishment of similar cryobanks worldwide, expanding efforts to conserve endangered species. These cryobanks contribute to the global network of genetic resources, improving cooperation and knowledge exchange. By demonstrating the potential of technology in the preservation of biodiversity, the frozen zoo serves as a powerful tool in raising awareness and driving change. The Frozen Zoo is like a time capsule, preserving the genetic heritage of endangered species for future generations. It reminds us about the importance of conservation and offers a window into a world that could otherwise be lost forever. 28. What do we know about the Frozen Zoo? A. It is the world’s oldest and largest animal cryobank. B. It started with a detailed plan led by Kurt Benirschke. C. It is a project to explore the evolution of animal species. D. It was established to protect animals in the San Diego Zoo. 29. How does the Frozen Zoo save species from extinction? A. By expanding their natural habitats. B. By raising their survival rate with genetic technology. C. By preserving their genetic material for further research. D. By innovating breeding techniques to increase their population. 30. Why does the author mention “time capsule” in the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of the Frozen Zoo. B. To explain the urgency of saving endangered species. C. To prove the potential value of preserving biodiversity. D. To show the necessity of cooperative conservation efforts. 31. What words could best describe the Frozen Zoo project? A. Costly and controversial. B. Profitable and instructive. C. Conservative and effective. D. Pioneering and significant. D These days, Fred’s huge skeleton (骨架) is exhibited in the Indiana State Museum. His tusks (长牙) were recently the subject of a research study tracing the life 13,000 years ago of mastodons, distant relatives of modern elephants. By analyzing the chemical compounds (化合物) in Fred’s tusks, a team of researchers could construct a detailed account of his seasonal migration patterns. Josh Miller, a paleoecologist (古生态学家) at the University of Cincinnati, is one of the researchers studying Fred. “He has beautifully preserved bones and tusks, which provides a great opportunity for our research on his seasonal migration patterns,” Miller said. Mastodons’ tusks generally grow in distinct layers, similar to the tree rings. As a result, the nutrients that build the layers of their tusks can tell us a lot about what they experienced. The team particularly focused their analysis on the variations in two elements in the layers: strontium (锶) and oxygen. The former is the key to understanding where Fred spent his life, while the latter tells us the season he was in any particular region. Then, with some statistical modeling, Miller and his team gained insight into the daily record of Fred’s behavior over ten thousand years ago. The result indicated that Fred would have grown a lot when he was young. But there’s a year when his growth is reduced. “Probably like the modern male elephant, a male mastodon is just really obnoxious when growing up to be a bother and often arouses family members’ anger. At that point, the mom and aunts will essentially kick him out of the family.” Miller predicted. After Fred set off to attend to himself, his tusks reflected where he travelled around. Based on the analysis, Fred would return to mate every summer in Northeastern Indiana, because his tusks started to show signs of injuries around this time. When competing for mates, mastodons get into huge battles with their own natural weapons sharp tusks. And that was exactly what brought Fred’s story to an untimely end. 32. What did Miller’s study mainly focus on? A. Effective ways of tusk preservation. B. Inner structure of Fred’s skeleton. C Possible tracks of Fred’s migration. D. Special functions of mastodon tusks. 33. How did researchers learn about Fred’s behavior in the ancient age? A. By analyzing nutrients in Fred’s bones. B. By reviewing statistical records of previous studies. C. By modeling data of chemical elements in Fred’s tusks. D. By referring to the growth of tree rings to study Fred’s tusk layers. 34. What can be inferred about Fred from the last paragraph? A. He was killed by his opponents. B. He reunited with his family later. C. He was drawn to cross-species fights. D. He was weak in living independently. 35. In which section of a newspaper will the article appear? A Geology. B. Culture. C. Education. D. Science. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Four surprising ways algae (藻类) are driving innovation Algae can be a double-edged sword. Increased human activity and climate change have caused explosions of algae populations in water bodies around the world sometimes choking entire ecosystems of sunlight and oxygen. Even though they are so closely associated with humanity’s negative impact on Earth, algae could also play key roles in helping fight pollution, viruses, and more. ____36____ Filtering (过滤) water.

I was at the departure gates of the airport, reading a cartoon book to pass the time while waiting for my parents to check in. A sea of people filled the airport and loud chatter echoed (回响) throughout the vast terminal (航站楼) halls. People were coming in and out of countless doors. The cartoon shop caught my eye, for it was filled with cartoon figurines (小雕像). I caught sight of a new figurine from my favourite cartoon, “One Piece” it was an action figurine of my favourite character, Luffy! My jaw dropped to the floor and my eyes brightened like diamonds. Without thinking twice, I ran towards the store. Holding the action figurine carefully in my hands, I imagined the scenes I could come up with using my action figurines at home. Filled with excitement, I hugged the toy and jumped for joy. Unfortunately, I did not have any money on me. Without doubt, I knew I had to share this newfound discovery with my parents! After returning the action figurine to its shelf I darted (飞奔) out of the store, retracing my steps back to where I had left my parents. When I reached the location where I had last seen them, I realised that they were nowhere to be found. I tried to look for the terminal departure gate my parents were supposed to be waiting at, but the gates all looked the same. As I stood rooted to the ground, my excitement started to die down. Anxiety enveloped me and my heart started pounding in my chest. Tears rolled down my hot cheeks like a waterfall as I blamed myself. Why did I have to get distracted and leave my parents without informing them? There were thousands of people at the airport! It would be impossible to find them! Regretting my actions, I blamed myself silently. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Suddenly, my mother’s advice echoed in my mind: “If you are ever lost, don’t panic!

I have to dissent. I am reminded of a professor in college, who always had us read our assignments twice. “The first time, read fast and for fun,” he said. “The second time, look for delicate distinctions and small differences in meaning.” His suggestion works great for me. When I have a new book, I read fast, eager to discover the resolution. Then if I like the book, I will read it again. Not right away, but a few months later, possibly on a rainy Sunday afternoon, I will grab the book and settle down to discover the small details. I will read more slowly the second time, appreciating the descriptions and looking forward to my favorite sections, enjoying the anticipation. Knowing those favorite passages are coming does not spoil anything. I’m looking forward to revisiting those treasured places in the book. Knowing they are coming heightens my enjoyment. Rereading a book gives me a chance to appreciate the small things an author integrates into her story. A turn of a character’s head, a thought in the night, a sigh, these are the things that give insights into a book and the characters. I love dissecting (剖析) a story the second time around, looking for clues that give the tale a deep meaning. Reading is like revisiting a friend, familiar, yet always with something more inside. What have I been reading lately? The Merlin Trilogy by Mary Stewart. These books rank among my all-time favorite rereads. Set in Britain in roughly the second half of the 5th century CE, they were Mary Stewart’s take on the familiar King Arthur stories. If you are unfamiliar with them, I highly recommend all three books, especially if you love fantasy and historical fiction. 24. What does the underlined word “descent” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Understand. B. Disagree. C. Complain. D. Discontinue. 25. According to the author’s professor, what should one do during the second reading? A. Look for assignment clues. B. Pay attention to the minor details. C. Stick to the most interesting sections. D. Skip some parts to get to the end fast. 26. What does the author enjoy about rereading a book? A. Visiting the places mentioned in the book. B. Discovering the resolution of the story quickly. C. Finding out the lessons learned by the characters. D. Appreciating the writer’s storytelling techniques. 27. What is The Merlin Trilogy? A. The author’s new favorites. B. A series of science-fiction novels. C. Books based on ancient British stories. D. Mary Stewart’s successful adaptations. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者喜欢重读书籍，认为重读一本书让作者有机会欣赏作者融入故事的小细节。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Some people never read any books again and feel that since they already know the outcome, there is nothing to be gained by rereading.(有些人从不再读一本书，因为他们觉得既然已经知道了结果，再读也没有什么收获)”以及第二段“I am reminded of a professor in college, who always had us read our assignments twice. “The first time, read fast and for fun,” he said. “The second time, look for delicate distinctions and small differences in meaning.” His suggestion works great for me.(我想起了大学里的一位教授，他总是让我们把作业看两遍。他说：“第一次，为了乐趣而快速阅读。第二次，寻找微妙的区别和意义上的微小差异。”他的建议对我很有用)”可知，上文提到有些人从不再读一本书，因为他们觉得既然已经知道了结果，再读也没有什么收获，而作者喜欢重读，所以不同意这一观点。故划线词意思是“不同意”。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The second time, look for delicate distinctions and small differences in meaning.(第二次，寻找微妙的区别和意义上的微小差异)”可知，在再次阅读期间应该注意细节。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Rereading a book gives me a chance to appreciate the small things an author integrates into her story. A turn of a character’s head, a thought in the night, a sigh, these are the things that give insights into a book and the characters. I love dissecting (剖析) a story the second time around, looking for clues that give the tale a deep meaning.(重读一本书让我有机会欣赏作者融入故事的小细节。人物的一个转头，夜晚的一个念头，一声叹息，这些都是洞察一本书和人物的东西。我喜欢把一个故事再分析一遍，寻找能赋予故事深刻含义的线索)”可知，作者喜欢重读一本书来欣赏叙事技巧。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Set in Britain in roughly the second half of the 5th century CE, they were Mary Stewart’s take on the familiar King Arthur stories.(故事发生在大约公元5世纪下半叶的英国，是玛丽·斯图尔特改编的熟悉的亚瑟王故事)”可知，梅林三部曲是根据古代英国故事改编的书。故选C。 C When Kurt Benirschke started collecting skin samples from endangered animals in 1972, he didn’t have a firm plan on what to do with them. As a researcher at the University of California San Diego, he believed that one day these samples would be used to save these animals. A few years later, he moved his collection to the San Diego Zoo, and called it the Frozen Zoo. For a long time, it was the only project of its kind; however, in recent years, similar conservation efforts have spread globally, and tools that Benirschke didn’t yet have are now available. Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank(生物冷冻库), holding samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species, in the hope that one day science can bring them back as a species. The Frozen Zoo’s advanced technology is the key to its success in saving species from extinction. By using cryopreservation techniques the zoo can store cells and tissues from endangered animals. The stored genetic material can be used for research, breeding(繁殖) programs, and potentially even cloning or genetic engineering to restore endangered species. By protecting the genetic heritage of endangered animals, the Frozen Zoo provides hope for the survival of species that would otherwise be at risk of dying out, and the preservation of Earth’s precious biodiversity. It has inspired the establishment of similar cryobanks worldwide, expanding efforts to conserve endangered species. These cryobanks contribute to the global network of genetic resources, improving cooperation and knowledge exchange. By demonstrating the potential of technology in the preservation of biodiversity, the frozen zoo serves as a powerful tool in raising awareness and driving change. The Frozen Zoo is like a time capsule, preserving the genetic heritage of endangered species for future generations. It reminds us about the importance of conservation and offers a window into a world that could otherwise be lost forever. 28. What do we know about the Frozen Zoo? A. It is the world’s oldest and largest animal cryobank. B. It started with a detailed plan led by Kurt Benirschke. C. It is a project to explore the evolution of animal species. D. It was established to protect animals in the San Diego Zoo. 29. How does the Frozen Zoo save species from extinction? A. By expanding their natural habitats. B. By raising their survival rate with genetic technology. C. By preserving their genetic material for further research. D. By innovating breeding techniques to increase their population. 30. Why does the author mention “time capsule” in the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of the Frozen Zoo. B. To explain the urgency of saving endangered species. C. To prove the potential value of preserving biodiversity. D. To show the necessity of cooperative conservation efforts. 31. What words could best describe the Frozen Zoo project? A. Costly and controversial. B. Profitable and instructive. C. Conservative and effective. D. Pioneering and significant. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了冷冻动物园在保护濒危动物免遭灭绝方面的成果、作用和意义。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“For a long time, it was the only project of its kind(在很长一段时间里，这是唯一一个此类项目)”和“Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank(生物冷冻库)(如今，冷冻动物园是世界上最大的动物冷冻库)”可推知，冷冻动物园是世界上最古老、最大的动物冷冻库。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Frozen Zoo’s advanced technology is the key to its success in saving species from extinction. By using cryopreservation techniques, the zoo can store cells and tissues from endangered animals. The stored genetic material can be used for research, breeding(繁殖) programs, and potentially even cloning or genetic engineering to restore endangered species.(冷冻动物园的先进技术是其成功拯救物种免于灭绝的关键。通过冷冻保存技术，动物园可以储存濒危动物的细胞和组织。储存的遗传物质可以用于研究、育种计划，甚至可能用于克隆或基因工程，以恢复濒危物种。)”可知，冷冻动物园先进的冷冻保存技术可以储存动物的细胞和组织，并且将其用于研究、育种计划甚至克隆或基因工程，从而让濒危物种重返世间。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“By demonstrating the potential of technology in the preservation of biodiversity, the frozen zoo serves as a powerful tool in raising awareness and driving change.(通过展示技术在保护生物多样性方面的潜力，冷冻动物园成为提高认识和推动变革的有力工具。)”和最后一段“The Frozen Zoo is like a time capsule, preserving the genetic heritage of endangered species for future generations. It reminds us about the importance of conservation and offers a window into a world that could otherwise be lost forever.(冷冻动物园就像一个时间胶囊，为子孙后代保存着濒危物种的遗传遗产。它提醒我们保护的重要性，并为了解一个可能永远消失的世界提供了一扇窗户。)”可知，冷冻动物园展示了技术在保护生物多样性方面的潜力，为子孙后代保存了濒危物种的物质，并提醒人们保护的重要性，还会后代了解濒危物种提供了机会，它就像一个“时间胶囊”。由此可推测出，作者在最后一段提到“时间胶囊”是为了强调冷冻动物园的重要性。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“For a long time, it was the only project of its kind; however, in recent years, similar conservation efforts have spread globally, and tools that Benirschke didn’t yet have are now available.(在很长一段时间里，这是唯一一个此类项目；然而，近年来，类似的保护工作已经在全球范围内展开，Benirschke还没有的工具现在已经可用。)”可推出，冷冻动物园率先开启并引领了通过冷冻来保护濒危物种免于灭绝的方法，所以具有开拓性（pioneering）。根据最后一段“The Frozen Zoo is like a time capsule, preserving the genetic heritage of endangered species for future generations. It reminds us about the importance of conservation and offers a window into a world that could otherwise be lost forever.(冷冻动物园就像一个时间胶囊，为子孙后代保存着濒危物种的遗传遗产。它提醒我们保护的重要性，并为了解一个可能永远消失的世界提供了一扇窗户。)”可知，冷冻动物园为人类后代保存了濒危物种的遗传资料，提醒人类保护的重要性，并为未来复活物质提供了机会，由此可推测出，它具有重要性（significant）。故选D。 D These days, Fred’s huge skeleton (骨架) is exhibited in the Indiana State Museum. His tusks (长牙) were recently the subject of a research study tracing the life 13,000 years ago of mastodons, distant relatives of modern elephants. By analyzing the chemical compounds (化合物) in Fred’s tusks, a team of researchers could construct a detailed account of his seasonal migration patterns. Josh Miller, a paleoecologist (古生态学家) at the University of Cincinnati, is one of the researchers studying Fred. “He has beautifully preserved bones and tusks, which provides a great opportunity for our research on his seasonal migration patterns,” Miller said. Mastodons’ tusks generally grow in distinct layers, similar to the tree rings. As a result, the nutrients that build the layers of their tusks can tell us a lot about what they experienced. The team particularly focused their analysis on the variations in two elements in the layers: strontium (锶) and oxygen. The former is the key to understanding where Fred spent his life, while the latter tells us the season he was in any particular region. Then, with some statistical modeling, Miller and his team gained insight into the daily record of Fred’s behavior over ten thousand years ago. The result indicated that Fred would have grown a lot when he was young. But there’s a year when his growth is reduced. “Probably like the modern male elephant, a male mastodon is just really obnoxious when growing up to be a bother and often arouses family members’ anger. At that point, the mom and aunts will essentially kick him out of the family.” Miller predicted. After Fred set off to attend to himself, his tusks reflected where he travelled around. Based on the analysis, Fred would return to mate every summer in Northeastern Indiana, because his tusks started to show signs of injuries around this time. When competing for mates, mastodons get into huge battles with their own natural weapons sharp tusks. And that was exactly what brought Fred’s story to an untimely end. 32. What did Miller’s study mainly focus on? A. Effective ways of tusk preservation. B. Inner structure of Fred’s skeleton. C. Possible tracks of Fred’s migration. D. Special functions of mastodon tusks. 33. How did researchers learn about Fred’s behavior in the ancient age? A. By analyzing nutrients in Fred’s bones. B. By reviewing statistical records of previous studies. C. By modeling data of chemical elements in Fred’s tusks. D. By referring to the growth of tree rings to study Fred’s tusk layers. 34. What can be inferred about Fred from the last paragraph? A. He was killed by his opponents. B. He reunited with his family later. C. He was drawn to cross-species fights. D. He was weak in living independently. 35. In which section of a newspaper will the article appear? A. Geology. B. Culture. C. Education. D. Science. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了对13000年前的一头乳齿象Fred的象牙的研究和发现。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“His tusks (长牙) were recently the subject of a research study tracing the life 13,000 years ago of mastodons (他的象牙最近成为一项研究的主题，该研究追踪了13000年前乳齿象的生活)”和第二段中“By analyzing the chemicals in Fred’s tusks, a team of researchers was able to construct a detailed account of his seasonal migration patterns. Josh Miller, a paleoecologist (古生态学家) at the University of Cincinnati, is one of the researchers studying Fred. (通过分析弗雷德象牙中的化学物质，一组研究人员能够详细描述它的季节性迁徙模式。辛辛那提大学的古生态学家乔希·米勒是研究弗雷德的研究人员之一)”可知，米勒的研究重点是Fred可能的迁徙轨迹。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The team particularly focused their analysis on the variations in two elements in the layers: strontium (锶) and oxygen. The former is the key to understanding where Fred spent his life, while the latter tells us the season he was in any particular region. Then, with some statistical modeling, Miller and his team gained insight into the daily record of Fred’s behavior over ten thousand years ago.(研究小组特别关注了两种元素在象牙层中的变化：锶和氧。前者是了解弗雷德在哪里度过一生的关键，而后者则告诉我们他在任何特定地区的季节。然后，通过一些统计模型，米勒和他的团队深入了解了弗雷德一万多年前的日常行为记录)”可知，研究人员通过对象牙层中特殊化学元素数据的建模来了解乳齿象在古代的行为。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When competing for mates, mastodons got into huge battles with their own natural weapons, sharp tusks. And that was exactly what brought the story of Fred to an untimely end.(在争夺配偶时，乳齿象用自己的天然武器——锋利的象牙展开了激烈的战斗。而这正是导致弗雷德的故事过早结束的原因)”可推知，Fred在争夺配偶的战斗中，被其它雄象象牙刺伤，导致其死亡。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“These days, Fred’s huge skeleton (骨架) is exhibited in the Indiana State Museum. His tusks (长牙) were recently the subject of a research study tracing the life 13,000 years ago of mastodons, distant relatives of modern elephants.(这些天，弗雷德巨大的骨架在印第安纳州立博物馆展出。他的象牙最近成为一项研究的主题，该研究追踪了13000年前乳齿象的生活，乳齿象是现代大象的远亲)”结合文章介绍了对13000年前的一头乳齿象Fred的象牙的研究和发现。可推知，文章选自科学部分。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Four surprising ways algae (藻类) are driving innovation Algae can be a double-edged sword.

I was at the departure gates of the airport, reading a cartoon book to pass the time while waiting for my parents to check in. A sea of people filled the airport and loud chatter echoed (回响) throughout the vast terminal (航站楼) halls. People were coming in and out of countless doors. The cartoon shop caught my eye, for it was filled with cartoon figurines (小雕像). I caught sight of a new figurine from my favourite cartoon, “One Piece” it was an action figurine of my favourite character, Luffy! My jaw dropped to the floor and my eyes brightened like diamonds. Without thinking twice, I ran towards the store. Holding the action figurine carefully in my hands, I imagined the scenes I could come up with using my action figurines at home. Filled with excitement, I hugged the toy and jumped for joy. Unfortunately, I did not have any money on me. Without doubt, I knew I had to share this newfound discovery with my parents! After returning the action figurine to its shelf, I darted (飞奔) out of the store, retracing my steps back to where I had left my parents. When I reached the location where I had last seen them, I realised that they were nowhere to be found. I tried to look for the terminal departure gate my parents were supposed to be waiting at, but the gates all looked the same. As I stood rooted to the ground, my excitement started to die down. Anxiety enveloped me and my heart started pounding in my chest. Tears rolled down my hot cheeks like a waterfall as I blamed myself. Why did I have to get distracted and leave my parents without informing them? There were thousands of people at the airport! It would be impossible to find them! Regretting my actions, I blamed myself silently. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Suddenly, my mother’s advice echoed in my mind: “If you are ever lost, don’t panic!

The lady reassured me with a kind smile, before beginning her announcement into the speaker, “Attention, there’s a missing child at the information counter at Terminal D...” A few minutes later, my parents, extremely breathless, appeared at the information counter. My face lit up as soon as I saw them. “Mum! Dad!” I called out. I ran as fast as my little legs could carry me and jumped into my mother’s welcoming arms.
