Karen Keech Swerling worked in Hollywood as a costume designer for three decades. She and her husband were looking for a change of pace in retirement, so eight years ago they traded their house in Malibu for an early 1900s Victorian in Richmond’s museum district. Swerling turned the basement into a studio for her nonprofit organization, Richmond Really Sews!, and she offered free classes to anyone crazy about sewing.
Swerling said, “People chat while they’re sewing and become friends — I love it. Sewing allows us to express where we come from and how we feel. We can’t do that if we go to the store.”
Members of Richmond Really Sews! are people of different backgrounds. Every Saturday afternoon, they gather around 30 work stations with different sewing machines. On Nov. 2nd, they showcased their work at their annual fundraiser, Richmond Frocktails, a fashion show featuring their handmade creations. While Swerling donates her time and talent, she relies on money raised at the event to cover sewing machine maintenance and supplies.
In the spring, the group went to New York City, where they encountered famous fabric designers at Elliott Berman and Metro Textiles, When they returned to Richmond, they received a surprise: a 60-pound box of fabric s from Elliott Berman. “They’re sustainable fabric s from France and Italy and really high-end fabrics,” Swerling said.
Swerling says she loves sharing her knowledge as a way of honoring the teachers at California’s Long Beach City College, where she met a significant teacher, Alicia Annas, who helped her research the business and introduced her to friends in Hollywood.
Swerling’s first project was “Esperanza” with the American Film Institute in 1982. Though unpaid, the work made her known and brought her into the clothing industry so that she was able to go on to design the costumes for The Munsters Today series and the movie Far North. Over the next 33 years, she designed costumes for major feature films and TV shows. Despite her career success, Swerling says she feels the most fulfilled today, passing on her skills to others and keeping the art of sewing alive.
4. What does Swerling say about sewing?
A. It increases her family’s income. B. It enlarges people’s social circle.
C. It cures people of their bad habits. D. It helps those with mental problems.
5. Why is Richmond Frocktails held every year?
A. To popularize the concept of sewing. B. To attract more physical donations.
C. To collect funds for the organization. D. To expand the organization’s business.
6. How does Swerling probably feel about Alicia Annas?
A Grateful. B. Annoyed. C. Regretful. D. Scared.
7. How did Esperanza impact Swerling?
A. It earned her a lot of money. B. It introduced her to many fabric designers.
C. It made her famous worldwide. D. It helped her break into the clothing industry.

Deeply rooted in the oral traditions of indigenous(土著的) communities, indigenous stories carry great significance. Such stories often convey moral lessons, societal norms and the shared wisdom of the community.Through these stories, the younger generations learn about their ancestors, the struggles they faced and the success they achieved. This develops a sense of continuity, strengthening the structure of indigenous societies.Moreover, by listening to and retelling these stories, community members contribute to the survival of indigenous languages.
Indigenous stories serve as windows into the different cultures worldwide. Each story is a unique expression of a community’s worldview, shaped by its history, environment and spiritual beliefs. Through these stories, we gain a deeper appreciation for the different ways people view the world. And by telling their stories, indigenous peoples invite others to look into their traditions, developing empathy(共情) and promoting a more interconnected world where different cultures are celebrated and respected.
Many indigenous stories explore themes of creation and the interconnectedness of the spiritual and material fields. Through these tales, individuals find a sense of purpose and connection to something greater than themselves.Indigenous stories provide stories of overcoming challenges, of not giving up in the face of hardship, and of the interconnectedness that combines communities together. In this way, storytelling promotes healing on both individual and communal levels.
While indigenous stories are of great importance, their continuation is threatened. For example, the impact of modernization has disturbed traditional storytelling practices. The use of indigenous stories for commercial purposes also hurts their authenticity(真实性). Fortunately, despite these challenges, there’s a growing global recognition of the need to preserve and reinstate indigenous stories.
Language restoration programs play an important role in preserving indigenous stories. They focus on teaching and bringing endangered languages back, which helps oral stories pass down. Cooperative projects between indigenous communities and external partners, such as researchers and storytellers, contribute to the record and preservation of oral traditions. Digital platforms, podcasts, and interactive media provide opportunities to share indigenous stories with a global audience, raising awareness about the importance of indigenous storytelling.
8. What can be learned about indigenous stories from paragraph 2?
A. They teach people how to live worldwide. B. They improve our ability to tell stories.
C. They promote cross-culture understanding. D. They are a symbol of wisdom and spirits.
9. What do indigenous stories mean for people in trouble?
A. Signs of identity. B. Forms of pleasure.
C. Means of survival. D. Sources of strength.
10. What does the underlined word“reinstate” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Learn. B. Restore. C. Interpret. D. Adapt.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Efforts to preserve indigenous stories. B. Impacts of the interactive mass media.
C. Ways to share stories with the audience. D. Attitudes towards passing down stories.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了土著故事的重要性及其一些保护措施。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Through these stories, we gain a deeper appreciation for the different ways people view the world. And by telling their stories, indigenous peoples invite others to look into their traditions, developing empathy(共情) and promoting a more interconnected world where different cultures are celebrated and respected.( 通过这些故事,我们对人们看待世界的不同方式有了更深的了解。通过讲述他们的故事,土著人民邀请其他人了解他们的传统,培养同情心,促进建立一个更加相互联系的世界,在这个世界上,不同的文化得到庆祝和尊重。)”可知,土著故事能让我们更深入地理解不同文化,促进跨文化理解。故选C项。

【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“While indigenous stories are of great importance, their continuation is threatened.( 虽然土著故事非常重要,但它们的延续受到了威胁。)”可知土著故事的传承受到威胁,再结合第五段中“Language restoration programs play an important role in preserving indigenous stories.( 语言恢复项目在保护土著故事方面发挥着重要作用。)”等内容,说明需要保护和恢复土著故事,“reinstate”应与“restore”意思相近,意为 “恢复”。故选B项
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Language restoration programs play an important role in preserving indigenous stories. They focus on teaching and bringing endangered languages back, which helps oral stories pass down. Cooperative projects between indigenous communities and external partners, such as researchers and storytellers, contribute to the record and preservation of oral traditions. Digital platforms, podcasts, and interactive media provide opportunities to share indigenous stories with a global audience, raising awareness about the importance of indigenous storytelling.( 语言恢复项目在保护土著故事方面发挥着重要作用。他们专注于教学和恢复濒危语言,这有助于口头故事的流传。土著社区与外部伙伴(如研究人员和讲故事者)之间的合作项目有助于记录和保存口头传统。数字平台、播客和互动媒体提供了与全球观众分享土著故事的机会,提高了对土著故事重要性的认识。)”可知,最后一段主要讲的是为保护和振兴土著故事所做的努力。故选A项。

Everything including 3D printers is bigger in Texas. The Lone Star State will soon be the site of the world’s first 3D-printed hotel, El Cosmico, which has begun construction in the desert north of Marfa. Photos of the site show a large 46.5-foot-wide and 15.5-foot-tall 3D printer laying sand-colored material onto the foundations, creating sand-colored walls. This machine, called the Vulcan, was created by Texas-based 3D printing and robotics company ICON.
The project is a cooperation between Liz Lambert, El Cosmico’s owner, ICON and architects at Bjarke Ingels Group. Lambert wants to expand the existing El Cosmico hotel, adding 43 new units and 18 homes on a new 40-acre land. Model images of the hotel’s inside part show cream walls and rounded wooden surfaces full of colors that reflect the surrounding desert. In addition to the hotel, El Cosmico will include several 3D-printed homes, which are now priced for $2.29 million. It’s reported that the hotel units will cost between $200 and $450 per night.
The structures’ walls are made of a concrete called “lavacrete”, a particular low-carbon material created by ICON, which has a compressive(压力的) strength of 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per square inch.
ICON was founded in 2018, and its technology has since been used to build 3D-printed homes in Texas and Mexico. Besides printing houses and hotels, a few years ago, ICON built Mars Dune Alpha, a 3D-printed environment that copied conditions on the Red Planet’s surface. In 2022, the company got a $57 million contract for their Project Olympus, which is exploring ways to build 3D-printed structures on the moon using locally available materials.
Back on Earth, this 3D-printing technology has the potential to help deal with America’s affordable housing problem. In 2020, ICON constructed several houses for the Community First! Village in Austin, a program for people experiencing homelessness.
In the future, the expansion of El Cosmico may include affordable housing for hotel staff. Lambert said these plans were “in the background” but still moving forward. Construction on the new hotel is scheduled to conclude in 2026.
12. What is a feature of the 3D-printed hotel?
A. It is eco-friendly as well as strong. B. It is surrounded by wooden houses.
C. It is out of place from the surroundings. D. It’s the result of a single company’s effort.
13. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Mars Dune Alpha?
A. To recommend a high-end printed hotel. B. To urge people to learn 3D-printed structures.
C. To illustrate ICON’s strong technology. D. To push the protection of the environment.
14. What is ICON’s technology intended to do?
A. Print food for the homeless. B. Address America’s housing crisis.
C. Create smart robots in space. D. Offer hotel staff chances to travel.
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Housing Crisis: A Big Issue in America B. ICON’s Lavacrete: Changing Construction
C. ICON: Leading in 3D-Printing Technology D. El Cosmico: A Large Hotel Being 3D-Printed
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了世界上第一家3D打印酒店 El Cosmico将在德克萨斯州的孤星之州建成,该酒店由El Cosmico的所有者Liz Lambert、ICON和Bjarke Ingels Group的建筑师合作完成,且使用特殊的低碳建筑材料,抗压性强。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段内容“The structures’walls are made of a concrete called ‘lavacrete’, a particular low-carbon material created by ICON, which has a compressive strength of 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per square inch.(这些建筑的墙壁由一种名为“熔岩混凝土”的混凝土制成,这是ICON公司生产的一种特殊的低碳材料,其抗压强度为每平方英寸2000至3500磅。)”可知,该3D打印酒店的建筑墙壁是一种低碳材料制成,且具有抗压性强的特点,即,3D打印酒店不仅环保而且抗压强。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容“Besides printing houses and hotels, a few years ago, ICON built Mars Dune Alpha, a 3D-printed environment that copied conditions on the Red Planet’s surface.(除了打印房屋和酒店,几年前,ICON还建造了火星沙丘阿尔法,这是一个复制红色星球表面条件的3D打印环境。)”可知,除了打印住房和酒店,ICON还将技术应用到了航空领域,这说明其技术很强大。由此推知,作者提到 Mars Dune Alpha是为了表明 ICON 的3D打印技术很厉害。故选C项。
【14题详解】

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读文章可知,第一段内容“The Lone Star State will soon be the site of the world’s first 3D-printed hotel, El Cosmico, which has begun construction in the desert north of Marfa.(孤星之州很快将成为世界上第一家3D打印酒店El Cosmico的所在地,该酒店已开始在马尔法以北的沙漠中建设。)”揭示了文章的核心话题,即,本文是围绕ICON公司建3D 打印酒店 El Cosmico这一话题展开的,并在后文中阐述了其技术应用和展望。选项D“El Cosmico: A Large Hotel Being 3D-Printed(El Cosmico:一家大型酒店正在进行3D打印)”贴合文章主题,可作最佳标题。故选D项。

“We were astonished by how powerful an effect a simple expression of trust had ____41____ children’s subsequent honesty was,” said Professor Li Zhao of Hangzhou Normal University. “It seems that even at a young age,children understand the value of trust and are willing to behave more honestly in response to feeling ____42____ (trust).”

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究发现,简单地表达对幼儿的信任可以促进他们的诚实。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:多伦多大学、杭州师范大学和哈佛大学的研究人员进行的一项新研究发现,简单地表达对幼儿的信任可以促进他们的诚实。由副词修饰动词可知,此处为副词simply“简单地”作状语修饰动词expressing。故填simply。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:通过对328名幼儿园儿童进行的一系列实地实验,这项国际研究旨在了解,如果指导测试的成年人事先表达了对孩子们的信任,孩子们是否更不可能在一个简单的计数准确性测试中作弊。分析句子可知,此处为固定短语a series of“一系列的”,所以此处为冠词a的填入。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通过对328名幼儿园儿童进行的一系列实地实验,这项国际研究旨在了解,如果指导测试的成年人事先表达了对孩子们的信任,孩子们是否更不可能在一个简单的计数准确性测试中作弊。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰the adult,the adult和direct为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填directing。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:结果显示,当成年人信任孩子帮助完成一些小任务,比如拿房子钥匙,并表示将来会信任他们时,与没有得到这种信任信息的孩子相比,孩子在随后的测试中作弊的可能性要低得多。所填词与该句中的trusted为并列关系,故用所给动词的过去式 expressed。故填expressed。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:结果显示,当成年人信任孩子帮助完成一些小任务,比如拿房子钥匙,并表示将来会信任他们时,与没有得到这种信任信息的孩子相比,孩子在随后的测试中作弊的可能性要低得多。分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词children在从句中作主语成分,所以为关系代词who/that引导。故填who/that。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:杭州师范大学的李钊教授说:“我们惊讶地发现,一个简单的信任表达对孩子们随后的诚实有多么强大的影响。”“have an effect on/ upon...”意为“对……有影响”,为固定搭配。故填on/ upon。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:似乎即使在很小的时候,孩子们也明白信任的价值,并且愿意表现得更诚实,以回应被信任的感觉。根据句意以及空前feel为系动词,此处表示“被信任”,应用过去分词化的形容词trusted作表语。故填trusted。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这些发现不仅具有重要的理论意义,而且还为帮助父母和教育者从小培养道德品质提供了实践指导。由空后guidance为名词可知,此处为形容词practical“实践的”作定语修饰该名词,满足句意要求。故填practical。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:我们的研究结果表明,用信任而不是威胁或惩罚来培养孩子的良好品质是有希望的。由空后results为名词可知,此处为形容词性物主代词作定语修饰该名词。故填Our。
【45题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:我们的研究结果表明,用信任而不是威胁或惩罚来培养孩子的良好品质是有希望的。“use sth. to do sth.”为固定用法,意为“用某物做某事”,所以用动词不定式to develop。故填to develop。

47. 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 side door of the small aircraft was opened wide, and the wind rushed through the cargo hold (货仓). Packed tightly were fourteen silent people. Two of them were my adult children. Holding themselves perfectly still, they stared out at the endless sky.
When we reached a height of 4,300 feet, my son’s face turned pale as he carefully inched next to the opening, leaned (倾斜) sideways, and fell out of the airplane. Something went cold in my heart when I realized he was gone. But, only seconds later, instructions were being barked, and my daughter suddenly appeared in the same space just occupied by my son. She seemed a little nervous and then fell away into the wild blue sky after her brother.
For a quick moment, a desperate fear overcame me, and I wondered if that was the last time I would see them and whether they would land safely. But the thought soon passed as I felt a strong pull on my pack and was moved into position by our instructor.
With a big birthday approaching, two of my adult children had chosen to surprise me with an unforgettable way. I’d wanted to chicken out once we reached the airport, but when I heard a woman celebrating her fiftieth wedding anniversary decided to skydive, I thought that I had the courage to do it, too.
The wind blew louder as we went up further, each second feeling like an eternity (永生). My heart pounded in my chest quickly. Below me, the world seemed so distant, a patchwork of green fields and shining water. As I watched my children disappear into the vastness, a part of me wanted to scream, to pull them back into the safety of the aircraft. But another part, a deeper part, understood the excitement they sought and the freedom they had although they were afraid before skydiving.
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。
The instructor’s voice showed it was my turn.

My son and daughter rushed to me when I landed.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The instructor’s voice showed it was my turn. Taking a deep breath, I gathered all my courage. With a final glance at the world below, I let go and plunged into the open air. The wind rushed past me, a deafening roar in my ears. For a split second, panic threatened to overtake me, but then an indescribable sense of freedom washed over me. I felt weightless, like a bird soaring through the sky. The ground below seemed to rush up towards me, yet I was calm, enjoying this thrilling moment.
My son and daughter rushed to me when I landed. Their faces were beaming with excitement and pride. “Mom, you were amazing!” my daughter exclaimed, giving me a tight hug. My son nodded in agreement, his eyes shining. “We were so worried, but you did it!” he said. I looked at them, filled with a sense of accomplishment and love. This shared experience had brought us closer. We laughed and talked about our adventures in the sky, knowing that this was a birthday I would never forget, a day when we had all faced our fears and found a new kind of freedom together.

Karen Keech Swerling worked in Hollywood as a costume designer for three decades. She and her husband were looking for a change of pace in retirement, so eight years ago they traded their house in Malibu for an early 1900s Victorian in Richmond’s museum district. Swerling turned the basement into a studio for her nonprofit organization, Richmond Really Sews!, and she offered free classes to anyone crazy about sewing.
Swerling said, “People chat while they’re sewing and become friends — I love it. Sewing allows us to express where we come from and how we feel. We can’t do that if we go to the store.”
Members of Richmond Really Sews! are people of different backgrounds. Every Saturday afternoon, they gather around 30 work stations with different sewing machines. On Nov. 2nd, they showcased their work at their annual fundraiser, Richmond Frocktails, a fashion show featuring their handmade creations. While Swerling donates her time and talent, she relies on money raised at the event to cover sewing machine maintenance and supplies.
In the spring, the group went to New York City, where they encountered famous fabric designers at Elliott Berman and Metro Textiles, When they returned to Richmond, they received a surprise: a 60-pound box of fabric s from Elliott Berman. “They’re sustainable fabric s from France and Italy and really high-end fabrics,” Swerling said.
Swerling says she loves sharing her knowledge as a way of honoring the teachers at California’s Long Beach City College, where she met a significant teacher, Alicia Annas, who helped her research the business and introduced her to friends in Hollywood.
Swerling’s first project was “Esperanza” with the American Film Institute in 1982. Though unpaid, the work made her known and brought her into the clothing industry so that she was able to go on to design the costumes for The Munsters Today series and the movie Far North. Over the next 33 years, she designed costumes for major feature films and TV shows. Despite her career success, Swerling says she feels the most fulfilled today, passing on her skills to others and keeping the art of sewing alive.
4. What does Swerling say about sewing?
A. It increases her family’s income. B. It enlarges people’s social circle.
C. It cures people of their bad habits. D. It helps those with mental problems.
5. Why is Richmond Frocktails held every year?
A. To popularize the concept of sewing. B. To attract more physical donations.
C. To collect funds for the organization. D. To expand the organization’s business.
6. How does Swerling probably feel about Alicia Annas?
A. Grateful. B. Annoyed. C. Regretful. D. Scared.

Deeply rooted in the oral traditions of indigenous(土著的) communities, indigenous stories carry great significance. Such stories often convey moral lessons, societal norms and the shared wisdom of the community.Through these stories, the younger generations learn about their ancestors, the struggles they faced and the success they achieved. This develops a sense of continuity, strengthening the structure of indigenous societies.Moreover, by listening to and retelling these stories, community members contribute to the survival of indigenous languages.
Indigenous stories serve as windows into the different cultures worldwide. Each story is a unique expression of a community’s worldview, shaped by its history, environment and spiritual beliefs. Through these stories, we gain a deeper appreciation for the different ways people view the world. And by telling their stories, indigenous peoples invite others to look into their traditions, developing empathy(共情) and promoting a more interconnected world where different cultures are celebrated and respected.
Many indigenous stories explore themes of creation and the interconnectedness of the spiritual and material fields. Through these tales, individuals find a sense of purpose and connection to something greater than themselves.Indigenous stories provide stories of overcoming challenges, of not giving up in the face of hardship, and of the interconnectedness that combines communities together. In this way, storytelling promotes healing on both individual and communal levels.
While indigenous stories are of great importance, their continuation is threatened. For example, the impact of modernization has disturbed traditional storytelling practices. The use of indigenous stories for commercial purposes also hurts their authenticity(真实性). Fortunately, despite these challenges, there’s a growing global recognition of the need to preserve and reinstate indigenous stories.
Language restoration programs play an important role in preserving indigenous stories. They focus on teaching and bringing endangered languages back, which helps oral stories pass down. Cooperative projects between indigenous communities and external partners, such as researchers and storytellers, contribute to the record and preservation of oral traditions. Digital platforms, podcasts, and interactive media provide opportunities to share indigenous stories with a global audience, raising awareness about the importance of indigenous storytelling.
8. What can be learned about indigenous stories from paragraph 2?
A. They teach people how to live worldwide. B. They improve our ability to tell stories.
C. They promote cross-culture understanding. D. They are a symbol of wisdom and spirits.
9. What do indigenous stories mean for people in trouble?
A. Signs of identity. B. Forms of pleasure.
C. Means of survival. D. Sources of strength.
10. What does the underlined word“reinstate” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Learn. B. Restore. C. Interpret. D. Adapt.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Efforts to preserve indigenous stories. B. Impacts of the interactive mass media.

Everything including 3D printers is bigger in Texas. The Lone Star State will soon be the site of the world’s first 3D-printed hotel, El Cosmico, which has begun construction in the desert north of Marfa. Photos of the site show a large 46.5-foot-wide and 15.5-foot-tall 3D printer laying sand-colored material onto the foundations, creating sand-colored walls. This machine, called the Vulcan, was created by Texas-based 3D printing and robotics company ICON.
The project is a cooperation between Liz Lambert El Cosmico’s owner, ICON and architects at Bjarke Ingels Group. Lambert wants to expand the existing El Cosmico hotel, adding 43 new units and 18 homes on a new 40-acre land. Model images of the hotel’s inside part show cream walls and rounded wooden surfaces full of colors that reflect the surrounding desert. In addition to the hotel, El Cosmico will include several 3D-printed homes, which are now priced for $2.29 million. It’s reported that the hotel units will cost between $200 and $450 per night.
The structures’ walls are made of a concrete called “lavacrete”, a particular low-carbon material created by ICON, which has a compressive(压力的) strength of 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per square inch.
ICON was founded in 2018, and its technology has since been used to build 3D-printed homes in Texas and Mexico. Besides printing houses and hotels, a few years ago, ICON built Mars Dune Alpha, a 3D-printed environment that copied conditions on the Red Planet’s surface. In 2022, the company got a $57 million contract for their Project Olympus, which is exploring ways to build 3D-printed structures on the moon using locally available materials.
Back on Earth, this 3D-printing technology has the potential to help deal with America’s affordable housing problem. In 2020, ICON constructed several houses for the Community First! Village in Austin, a program for people experiencing homelessness.
In the future, the expansion of El Cosmico may include affordable housing for hotel staff. Lambert said these plans were “in the background” but still moving forward. Construction on the new hotel is scheduled to conclude in 2026.
12. What is a feature of the 3D-printed hotel?
A. It is eco-friendly as well as strong. B. It is surrounded by wooden houses.
C. It is out of place from the surroundings. D. It’s the result of a single company’s effort.
13. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Mars Dune Alpha?
A. To recommend a high-end printed hotel. B. To urge people to learn 3D-printed structures.
C. To illustrate ICON’s strong technology. D. To push the protection of the environment.
14. What is ICON’s technology intended to do?
A Print food for the homeless. B. Address America’s housing crisis.
C. Create smart robots in space. D. Offer hotel staff chances to travel.
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Housing Crisis: A Big Issue in America B. ICON’s Lavacrete: Changing Construction
C. ICON: Leading in 3D-Printing Technology D. El Cosmico: A Large Hotel Being 3D-Printed

47. 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 side door of the small aircraft was opened wide, and the wind rushed through the cargo hold (货仓). Packed tightly were fourteen silent people. Two of them were my adult children. Holding themselves perfectly still, they stared out at the endless sky.
When we reached a height of 4,300 feet, my son’s face turned pale as he carefully inched next to the opening, leaned (倾斜) sideways, and fell out of the airplane. Something went cold in my heart when I realized he was gone. But, only seconds later, instructions were being barked, and my daughter suddenly appeared in the same space just occupied by my son. She seemed a little nervous and then fell away into the wild blue sky after her brother.
For a quick moment, a desperate fear overcame me, and I wondered if that was the last time I would see them and whether they would land safely. But the thought soon passed as I felt a strong pull on my pack and was moved into position by our instructor.
With a big birthday approaching, two of my adult children had chosen to surprise me with an unforgettable way. I’d wanted to chicken out once we reached the airport, but when I heard a woman celebrating her fiftieth wedding anniversary decided to skydive, I thought that I had the courage to do it, too.
The wind blew louder as we went up further, each second feeling like an eternity (永生). My heart pounded in my chest quickly. Below me, the world seemed so distant, a patchwork of green fields and shining water. As I watched my children disappear into the vastness, a part of me wanted to scream, to pull them back into the safety of the aircraft. But another part, a deeper part, understood the excitement they sought and the freedom they had although they were afraid before skydiving.
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。
The instructor’s voice showed it was my turn.
