Imagine waking up one morning with the option of staying in bed and pressing a button to send a robot to do all the work for you.How cool that would be! It may seem like building castles in the air，but given the rate at which artificial intelligence，or AI，is being developed，in the future such dreams may actually come true. 　　At the basic level，artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that aims to develop intelligent machines.One of the essential aims of AI is to develop computer intelligence capable of learning from experience，adjusting to new inputs and performing tasks like humans.To achieve this aim，many approaches to creating true AI have been put forward，including “deep learning，”which enables a machine to improve its own performance by learning from the results of its previous actions.Deep-learning AI has the capacity to analyse massive amounts of data through multiple layers，imitating the complex networks of the human brain. 　　The dream of AI has been around for centuries，and the development of computers since the 1940s has finally made it a reality.Years before the term “artificial intelligence” was coined in the mid-1950s，the theory had been explored by Alan Turing，one of the pioneers in the field of computer science.However，for a long time，AI technology developed very slowly.A major breakthrough in AI came in 1997，when Deep Blue，a chess-playing computer，beat the world chess champion Garry Kasparov.Then in 2017，a computer program named AlphaGo defeated Ke Jie，arguably the best human Go player，which demonstrated a significant advance in deep-learning AI systems. 　　Nowadays，AI is already being applied in many fields：finance，health care，natural language processing and art，to name but a few.From autonomous vehicles to domestic robots，from recommendation systems to computers writing novels，AI has an unlimited number of applications.Ordinary people are now using AI to get instant translations of text in foreign languages，and machines can recognize fingerprints and even faces. 　　In short，this technology is transforming the way we live.It is clear that we are at a turning point in history.With machines like AlphaGo now capable of thinking and learning from their mistakes，we are getting closer to the dividing line between humans and machines.The question is，where will all this lead? While AI enthusiasts promise us a bright future where intelligent robots will be working to our advantage，these undoubted benefits also bring concerns and fears.Could machines really develop human-like intelligence? And what would happen if they did? Would thinking machines work alongside humans or threaten the existence of humans？How would they be punished if they committed crimes or even murdered humans? As we become more and more dependent on computers，some scientists are urging us to think about the dangers posed by the advances in AI.Stephen Hawking，for example，warned，“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.” Apparently，such warnings demand our attention.We need to make sure that we will not fall victim to AI.We may still think it would be fantastic to relax all day and allow autonomous machines to do all the work for us—but perhaps we should not be too greedy and rather be careful what we wish for！ [词海拾贝] 1．option n．选择 2．button n．按钮 3．castle n．城堡 4．essential adj.必要的 5．capable adj.有能力的 6．adjust v．调整 7．massive adj.巨大的 8．imitate v．模仿 9．complex adj.复杂的 10．significant adj.重要的 11．to name but a few 仅举几例 12．enthusiast n．爱好者 13．murder n．&v.谋杀 14．fall victim to 成为……的受害者 [阅读问答] 阅读该文本，回答以下问题 1．What is one of the essential aims of artificial intelligence (AI)? One of the essential aims of artificial intelligence (AI)is to develop computer intelligence capable of learning from experience，adjusting to new inputs，and performing tasks like humans. 学生用书第58页 2．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? The paragraph discusses the widespread application of artificial intelligence (AI)in various fields. 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。 Going Home Three boys and three girls were going to the beach.When they boarded the bus，they were carrying sandwiches and wine，①dreaming of golden beaches.Suddenly，they noticed Vingo.He sat in front of them，②eyes fixed upon a photo，completely in silence. 　　Deep into the night，the bus pulled into Howard Johnson's，a service area，and everybody got off except Vingo.The young people began to wonder about him.When they came back，one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.“Want some wine？”she said.He smiled and took a swig from the bottom.He thanked her and became silent again. 　　The next morning，they awoke outside another Howard Johnson's，and this time Vingo went in.The 学生用书第59页 girls insisted that he join them.He ordered black coffee and some cookies.When they returned，the girl sat with Vingo again.After a while，slowly and painfully，he began his story.He had been in prison for the past four years，and now he was going home. 　　“Are you married？” 　　“I don't know.” 　　“You don't know？”she said. 　　“Well，when I was in prison I wrote to my wife，”he said，“I told her that I was going to be away for a long time，and that if she couldn't stand it，if the kids kept asking questions，and if it hurt her too much，she could just forget me.I'd understand.Get a new guy，I said.She's a wonderful woman.I told her she didn't have to write to me.And she didn't.Not for three and a half years.” 　　“And you are going home now，not knowing？” 　　“Yeah.Well，last week，when I was sure the parole(假释)was coming through，I wrote to her again.We used to live in Brunswick，and there's a big oak(橡树)tree ③just as you come into town.I told her that if she didn't have a new man and if she'd take me back，she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree，and I'd get off and come home.If she didn't want me，forget it—no handkerchief and I'd go on through.” 　　“Wow，”the girl exclaimed，“wow.” 　　She told the others，and soon all of them were in it. 注意：1.续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Looking at the photo，the young people found a young woman and three children in it.______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Vingo sat there amazed，staring at the oak tree.______________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 读后续写三步曲 第一步：读语篇及所给首句 1．字词表达 (1)pull into(车)慢慢驶入 (2)take a swig喝一大口 (3)stand it容忍 (4)take me back接我回来 2．语言结构 ①动词-ing形式短语作状语 【译文】 梦想着金黄色沙滩 ②独立主格结构作状语 【译文】 眼睛盯着一张照片，完全地陷入了沉默 ③as引导时间状语从句 【译文】 就在你们进入到镇上时 3．内容脉络 (1)三个男孩和三个女孩偶遇Vingo。 (2)听Vingo讲述他自己的故事。 (3)孩子们一起参与到Vingo回家之旅。 4．所给首句 Looking at the photo，the young people found a young woman and three children in it. 【译文】 看着照片，青年们发现照片里有一位年轻妇女和三个孩子。 Vingo sat there amazed，staring at the oak tree. 【译文】 Vingo惊奇地坐在那里，盯着那棵橡树。 第二步：巧妙构思续写情节 1．预测续写走向 Vingo梦想成真，被妻子接纳。 2．安排续写要素 (1)主要人物Vingo，次要人物young boys and girls 学生用书第60页 (2)时间地点：首段发生在第二天返回的汽车上；末段发生在Vingo家附近。 (3)事件发展(孩子们参与进来)——高潮(在紧张心情中发现了橡树上的黄手绢)——结局(Vingo回家) 3．设计续写要点 (1)要点一：承接首段首句 根据首段首句中the photo，a young woman and three children，应描述大家看照片的反应。 (2)要点二：情节继续推进 描写此时大家和Vingo的紧张心情。 (3)要点三：铺垫二段首句 根据二段首句amazed，staring at the oak tree，应描写大家发现黄手绢的场面以及Vingo的反应。 (4)要点四：承接二段首句 根据二段首句，应描写Vingo看到的令他惊讶的情景。 (5)要点五：情节发展变化 大家为Vingo感到高兴，Vingo如愿以偿返家。 第三步：妙笔生花续写成文 1．基本表达 (1)首段首句：Looking at the photo，the young people found a young woman and three children in it.看着照片，青年们发现照片里有一位年轻妇女和三个孩子。 (要点1：承接首句，写大家关于照片人物的沟通交流) “多么可爱的女人和聪明的孩子啊。”几个年轻人说。“是啊，她是个聪明的女人，总能让我们的小房子温暖舒适。”Vingo说。 “What a lovely woman and cute kids，”some of the young man said.“Yeah，she is a smart woman and she can always make our small house warm and comfortable．”Vingo said.

A．It can clear sink pipes. B．It can recycle kitchen waste. C．It can extend the service life of kitchen sinks. D．It can remove food waste easily. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than 2 mm in diameter—to pass through the plumbing.”可知，InSinkErator用来将食物垃圾撕成足够小的碎片，以便更轻松地清除食物垃圾。 22．What can we learn about William's surgical gloves? A．They made William known worldwide. B．They assisted in the treatment of skin diseases. C．They were invented with the aid of William's colleagues. D．They were originally intended for William's wife. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Knowing Caroline，a nurse，suffered from a skin disease...as a gift after their marriage.”可知，手术手套最初是William特意为他的妻子发明的。 23．Which of the following is the latest invention? A．Magnetic shirt buttons. B．Surgical gloves. C．The InSinkErator. D．Band-Aids. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。通过比较四种发明的时间可知，选项A“Magnetic shirt buttons.(磁性衬衫纽扣)”的发明时间为2012年，离现在最近。 B As Tiger King 2 appeals to viewers，some fans feel sad about having to pay much for another streaming service subscription.And they take pity on the once-hot video technology which is now more likely to be a temporary coaster (杯垫)for your coffee：DVDs were once the future，but now the industry can hardly be turned around. 　　DVD sales once reached $16.3 billion and were 64% of the U．S.home video market.That was 2005. 　　However，this year just 300 million DVDs are expected to be sold worldwide，down from an average of 2 billion every year between 2005 and 2009.Instead，a rise in customers buying on-demand and digital copies of films and the launch of streaming services are what have reduced the DVD industry to such a state. 　　But there are still 300 million of the things，even if your collection is gathering dust on the bookshelf.While pop psychology would suggest that older generations hold on to their love of the physical disc，instead，those aged 25 to 39 are more likely than most to watch DVDs.They're often collectors. 　　“DVDs are a sign of our identity and our personality，” says Tony Gunnarsson，an analyst of TV，video，and advertising.That's why England-based radio producer Tom Green still stores around 300 DVDs，including the whole seasons of The Simpsons.“They represent a part of my life，and a part of me，” Green says.Others continue to keep DVDs because of the excellent audio (声音的)quality. 　　For DVDs，to undergo a renaissance (复兴)similar to that experienced by cassette tapes will require a big shift.“We need to wait for the generation that have a fascination with DVDs to control the mainstream culture，but it seems to be nowhere in sight，” says Tom Green.“And the public see DVDs as nothing but outdated media.” Even so，there is a solid group of DVD consumers.And that's perhaps why producers keep making DVDs and why committed collectors collect their discs. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了DVD的销量从过去的辉煌到如今的惨淡局面，但是即便如此，还是有一个稳定的DVD消费者群体。 24．What does the author intend to stress in Paragraph 1? A．The fall of DVDs. B．A possible way of reusing DVDs. C．A recent trend in the film industry. D．The big expenses of video streaming services. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中“And they take pity on the once-hot video technology which is now more likely to be a temporary coaster (杯垫)for your coffee：DVDs were once the future，but now the industry can hardly be turned around.”可推知，作者想在第一段强调DVDs的衰落。 25．What happened to the DVD market in 2005? A．It celebrated a shift in digital copies of films. B．It suffered from an oversupply of DVDs. C．It entered 64% of the U．S.households. D．Its sales reached the peak. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“DVD sales once reached $16.3 billion and were 64% of the U．S.home video market.That was 2005.”可知，2005年的DVD市场销量达到了顶峰。 26．What can we say about Tony Gunnarsson and Tom Green? A．They both appreciate the charm of DVDs. B．They are both professional DVD advertisers. C．They are both passionate about collecting things. D．They both praise the audio quality of streaming services. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“‘DVDs are a sign of our identity and our personality，’says Tony Gunnarsson，an analyst of TV，video，and advertising...‘They represent a part of my life，and a part of me，’Green says.Others continue to keep DVDs because of the excellent audio (声音的)quality.”可推知，托尼·甘纳森和汤姆·格林他们都欣赏DVDs的魅力。 27．What can be inferred about DVDs from the last paragraph? A．They may control the mainstream culture. B．They can greatly benefit many collectors. C．They are as important as cassette tapes. D．They are hard to make a comeback. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘We need to wait for the generation... as nothing but outdated media.’”可推知，DVDs的销量很难东山再起。 C Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture.This process，which helps us to deal with culture shock，is the way our brain and our personality react to the strange new things we meet when we move from one culture to another.If our culture involves bowing when we greet someone，we may feel very uncomfortable in a culture that does not involve bowing. 　　Culture shock begins with the “honeymoon stage”．This is the period of time when we first arrive in a new culture where everything is strange and exciting.We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment，seeing new sights，hearing new sounds and eating new kinds of food. 　　Unfortunately，the second stage of culture shock can be more difficult.After we have settled down into our new life，working or studying，buying groceries，doing laundry，or living with a home-stay family，we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland.All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger when you face them in a foreign culture.This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture. 　　The third stage of culture shock happens when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture.Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place.Things are still difficult，but you are now a survivor! 　　The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”．Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings.You can deal with most problems that occur.You may still have problems with the language，but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.If you meet someone from your country who has just arrived，you can be the expert on life in the new culture and help them to deal with their culture shock. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了文化冲击会经历四个基本阶段。 28．The example in Paragraph 1 is intended to ________． A．help explain culture shock B．compare different cultures C．show how to live in a new culture D．draw attention to cultural differences 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段“This process，which helps us to deal with culture shock... in a culture that does not involve bowing.”可推断，第一段中的例子旨在帮助解释文化冲击。 29．What makes culture shock a bigger challenge? A．Overcoming unusual problems. B．Getting used to the new daily life. C．Learning more about the new culture. D．Finding the right place to settle down. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Unfortunately，the second stage of culture shock can be more difficult...begin to miss our homeland.”以及第三段的“This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture.”可知，习惯新的日常生活让文化冲击成为更大的挑战。 30．Which of the following can best describe the third stage of culture shock? A．You have survived without any difficulty. B．You have fit in with your new life completely. C．You hold a positive attitude and begin to adjust. D．You come to realize how difficult culture shock is. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The third stage of culture shock happens when you begin to realize...still difficult，but you are now a survivor！”可知，第三个阶段你有了积极的态度并开始调整。 31．How do you feel during the fourth stage of culture shock? A．Tense but positive. B．Afraid but comfortable. C．Negative and stressed. D．Relaxed and confident. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The fourth stage can be called ‘at ease at last’．Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings.”可推断，第四阶段人们会变得放松且自信。 D Artificial intelligence is about to take on one of the most iconic jobs in all of sports：the umpire． 　　This summer，teams in the AAA league—just one level below Major League Baseball—will use advanced technology to call a ball and a strike (an unsuccessful attempt to hit the ball)on batters.Human umpires will still be on the scene，but a voice in their earpieces will tell them to shout out “ball” or “strike”－as determined by a system known as Automated Ball-Strike (ABS)．Human umpires are able to reject ABS if they feel it made a mistake.ABS can even calculate different-sized strike zones for tall or short players.And it will continue to do other things human umpires do，like separating angry opposing players to prevent fights，and of course dusting off the home plate. 　　For over a century，umpires have stood as one of the most human elements of baseball.How they make calls can affect the outcome of a game.They unavoidably have human weaknesses.But how they see things，whether right or wrong in the view of any individual fan，decides how the games will go down.They are the boss.In the end，it's a human being who is running a game being played by other humans. 　　More and more technology is entering the sports field.Tennis shots can be ruled in or out of bounds by cameras which are able to detect what is only something unclear to the human eye.And this year FIFA，the body governing international soccer，will experiment with a robot system that aims to call offsides more quickly and accurately than human referees and it will be expected to be in actual events.Robot referees could also help solve shortages of volunteer referees at the amateur level，in sports such as soccer.A game might be run by a single official aided by technology that does important parts of the job. 　　Today the possibility exists that a human umpire or referee could be bribed (行贿)or hold prejudices，consciously or unconsciously.Using robot umps would seem to avoid those human shortcomings.But what if hackers (黑客)got inside a robot ump's program and could change its calls? 语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了人工智能即将接手所有体育运动中最具标志性的工作之一：裁判。 32．What does the underlined word “umpire” mean in Paragraph 1? A．Leader. B．Referee. C．Athlete. D．Event. 答案：B 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子中“one of the most iconic jobs in all of sports”可知，这是运动领域的一个职业；再结合第二段对human umpires职责的描述，可以判断umpire意为“裁判员”。 33．What message does the author intend to convey in Paragraph 3? A．It's natural that everyone makes mistakes. B．Umpires' having the final say contradicts fair play. C．It's true that team spirit is essential to sports competitions. D．Fans can have a big impact on the process of sports games. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段“How they make calls can affect the outcome of a game...But how they see things，whether right or wrong in the view of any individual fan，decides how the games will go down.”可知，作者认为裁判看待事物的方式决定比赛的走向，这与公平比赛相矛盾。 34．What's FIFA's attitude toward the use of robot referees in football matches? A．Favorable. B．Intolerant. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear. 答案：A 解析：观点态度题。根据文章第四段“And this year FIFA，the body governing international soccer...and it will be expected to be in actual events.”可推测，FIFA对于足球比赛中使用机器人裁判是抱有支持的态度的。 35．What might be a particularly important task for developers of robot referees? A．Raising robot umps' awareness of others' unconscious weaknesses. B．Enabling robot referees to work with different human referees. C．Strengthening the defensive system of robot referees. D．Making robot umps accessible to various games. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But what if hackers (黑客)got inside a robot ump's program and could change its calls？”可推测，作者认为机器人裁判的开发者要加强机器人裁判的防御体系以防止黑客进入了机器人裁判的程序，并改变它的调用。 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。 The typical cellphone user touches his or her phone 2，617 times every day.Most people spend 3 hours on their phones each day.The effects of this usage are shocking：reducing the quality of conversations and negatively affecting short-term memory and problem solving. 36 ．How can you cut down on your usage of cellphones? The following are some methods suggested by experts. 　　Keep to your schedule. 　　You could set alarms specifying how often you can check your phone. 37 ．When your alarm sounds，read and handle notifications (通知)and then put down the phone.To reduce response anxiety，tell your friends or family that you may not respond to their messages as quickly as you used to. 　　Create no-phone time zones. 　　During working hours，if you're constantly upset by your phone going off，you won't remain focused on the work.Therefore，you could create a no-phone time zone. 38 ．So you can concentrate on the work in front of you. 　　 39 ． 　　One idea is to replace some smartphone functions with real objects.For example，purchase a radio alarm clock instead of depending on your phone to wake you up，and start your new year by buying a new notebook，so you can write your appointment and to-do list there instead of in your phone. 　　Put a hairband (发带) around your phone. 　　When placed in the middle of the phone，the hairband allows users to answer phone calls easily，but makes other uses of the phone more difficult.Every time you want to use your phone，this brings about a mindfulness exercise and makes you ask yourself what your intention is.If you really want to use the phone，set your intention for why and remove the hairband. 40 ．Choose the methods most suitable for your situation and make efforts to avoid too much use of cellphones. A．Reduce your reliance B．Learn to live a life without phones C．People get addicted to smartphones for different reasons　 D．For example，every half-hour，every 45 minutes or every hour E．And the relation between phone addiction and mental illness is alarming F．The practice helps avoid mindlessly unlocking your phone every 3 minutes G．Shut your phone for at least 2 hours of your day，when you're most productive 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些减少手机使用的方法。 36．答案：E 解析：上文“The typical cellphone user touches his or her phone 2，617 times every day...and negatively affecting short-term memory and problem solving.”说明手机用户花费大量时间在手机上，手机上瘾对人产生了负面影响，E项中phone addiction是关键词，E项“手机成瘾与精神疾病之间的关系令人担忧”承接上文，符合题意。 37．答案：D 解析：上文“You could set alarms specifying how often you can check your phone.”说明可以采用设置闹钟的方法来指定查看手机的频率，D项“例如，每半小时、每45分钟或每小时”举例说明设置闹钟、指定查看手机频率的方法，承接上文，符合题意。 38．答案：G 解析：上文“Therefore，you could create a no-phone time zone.”以及下文“So you can concentrate on the work in front of you.”说明可以关闭手机，创建无手机时区，以专注于工作，G项中“Shut your phone”是关键词，G项“当你工作效率最高时，每天至少要关机2小时”承上启下，符合题意。 39．答案：A 解析：下文“One idea is to replace some smartphone functions with real objects.”说明可以使用其他物品代替手机的一些功能，即减少对手机的依赖性，A项“减少你的依赖”可以作为本段小标题。故选A。 40．答案：F 解析：上文“Every time you want to use your phone，this brings about...set your intention for why and remove the hairband.”说明发带的具体用法，F项“这种做法有助于避免每3分钟无意识地解锁手机”承接上文，说明使用发带的好处，符合题意。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The other day，I watched the documentary 14 Peaks：Nothing Is Impossible，which followed Nirmal Purja as he climbed all 14 mountains with a height of more than 8，000 meters.Having no 41 of mountaineering apart from occasional recreational hikes，I 42 Purja's courage and perseverance (毅力)． 　　Not long into the programme，however，such feelings began to 43 ．On a journey Purja called “the mission possible”，he 44 extreme weather conditions and almost lost his life in a 100-metre fall.Whatever the 45 ，he pursued the completion of his task. 　　The documentary 46 Purja's perseverance，suggesting you can achieve anything as long as you persevere.However，the more 47 mountaineers Purja passed on the way，the more I began to 48 this message. 　　Why did an able mountaineer insist upon exposing himself to a(n) 49 situation? Human culture values the completion of tasks.This phenomenon is called “completion bias (偏见)”．While it can be a 50 for people to overcome difficulties，it is important to be aware of its 51 ．For example，with people trying hard to get things done，many have a natural 52 for focusing on particular tasks.Ultimately，it may prevent us from 53 bigger tasks that really matter. 　　Therefore，it is always 54 to remember that giving up a task does not necessarily mean failure.The choice to 55 a mission can be a wiser one than pushing through a misguided quest.

Yours， Future Li Hua 第二节(满分25 分) 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.I texted every friend who was lucky enough to have a cellphone.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，” he said，“we'll do something special.We're going camping！” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh.It wasn't my dream vacation，and I remained unbothered throughout the packing and planning.My mind was on my phone.I was so buried in the screen.In fact，the first time I looked up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite. 　　I stared out of the window and saw redwoods towering above us，their branches threatening to pierce(刺破) the blue sky.I saw a little river，with slivers of silky black water appearing between crashing white rapids.The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot and smelled of pine.But none of that mattered to me.The reason I had looked up was for 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(发怒)．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：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Instead of burying myself in my phone，I focused on something else：my surroundings. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. __________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考范文 Instead of burying myself in my phone，I focused on something else：my surroundings.I let the feeling of the wilderness wash over me，bugs creating noise that was both loud and peaceful.My anger turned to peace，then little interest，and finally excitement.Standing on the high campsite，I felt the weight of stress melted as I viewed the landscape that unfolded below me.The sight that met my eyes nearly took my breath away.For the first time，I thought camping in a place with no cell service might not be that bad. The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities.I hiked，swam and fished.We learned how to start a fire and cooked together and ate the sweetest marshmallows we had ever tasted.Dad told me stories of his life，which I had never heard or perhaps hadn't been listening to.When the vacation came to an end，I hadn't felt the need to be connected with anyone else.It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my family and nature. 学生用书第62页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
