Washington’s Olympic National Park ranks among the most popular parks in the U. S. If you’re looking for solitude and breathtaking views, these are the best places to camp inside Olympic National Park.
Deer Park Campground
Just getting to Deer Park Campground is a bit of an adventure, as it requires driving along a twisty road that ends at an altitude of about 5,400 feet. But the site offers some of the best views in the entire park, with the peaks of dozens of mountains in the Olympic Range stretching to the horizon.
Hoh Campground
For a completely different adventure, head to Hoh Campground, located in the heart of the Hoh Rainforest. Populated with ancient trees, the rainforest feels like you’ re visiting another planet.

When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
4. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. The play. B. The shared house.
C. The sofa. D. The telephone box.
5. Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006?
A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice.
C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition.
6. What do we know about the “mini community library”?
A. It provides phone service for free. B. Anyone can contribute to its collection.
C. It is popular among young readers. D. Books must be returned within a month.
7. Why did the author start to use the “library”?
A. He wanted to borrow some love stories.
B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour.
C. He found there were excellent free books.
D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading.
C
If you could time travel, would you visit the past or the future? You could find your ancestors, descendants, or experience life when dinosaurs wandered in your back garden. It sounds unrealistic, but scientists have looked into whether time travel is actually possible.
Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity changed understanding of space time, mass and gravity. The key element of this theory is that time and space are linked together, and time doesn’t flow at a constant rate, meaning it speeds up or slows down, depending on where you are. For example, when you travel at high speeds, time decreases, which means, according to NASA, astronauts in space moving at high speeds age more slowly than those on Earth! So, if you wanted to travel to the future, you would need to move close to the speed of light. Then, while centuries pass on Earth, you’d experience a relatively short amount of time and could hypothetically (假设地) return home, where it would be the future!
Travelling backwards in time seems much more difficult. Theoretically, one way of going back is via a wormhole. That means, if space and time can be folded like paper, we could create a tunnel — a shortcut between points in time. The problem is that there is no evidence that wormholes exist. “It’s been shown mathematically that they can exist, but whether they exist physically is something else,” says Emma Osborne, an astrophysicist at the University of York. Also, theories show that wormholes would be so small that a person definitely couldn’t fit through one, and they would have such an intense gravitational field that they would collapse very quickly.
For now, it seems we’ll have to be content with science fiction and using telescopes to look back in time rather than travelling through it.
8. Why does the writer mention Einstein’s theory of relativity?
A. To explain how time travel might work. B. To stress the importance of time travel.
C. To describe Einstein’s contributions to science. D. To encourage us to work out the theory.
9. Why do astronauts age more slowly than those on earth?
A. Time flows at the same speed across the universe.
B. Moving faster slows the passage of time.
C. Speed and space are closely connected.
D. The speed of light prevents their aging.
10. Why does travelling backwards in time seem much more difficult?
A. Wormholes move faster than the speed of light.
B. Scientists have not studied time travel to the past.
C. Wormholes lack scientific evidence of existence.
D. The speed of light only allows forward movement in time.
11. What is the author’s attitude regarding the possibility of time travel?
A. Objective. B. Subjective. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
D
Imagine you found a wallet containing a stranger's contact details but no cash. Would you return it to its owner? Now imagine the same wallet contained a few banknotes. Would that change your response? Does it depend on the amount of money? And how do you think other people would react?
Honesty makes the world go round. Without people trusting in one another, society would fall apart. Honesty is therefore studied academically. Most work,in the area though, takes place under controlled conditions in labs, often featuring( 以..为特点) well-off and well-educated Westerners as its subjects. By contrast Alain Cohn of the University of Michigan and his colleagues have taken such behavioral economics around the world, covering 40 countries, 355 cities and more than 17,000 people.
As the team report this week in Science, Dr Cohn's research assistants entered public buildings. They handed in a wallet to the receptionist, saying they had found it on the street outside. Each wallet contains contact details. Importantly, some wallets also included $13.45, while others not. Then, the team simply waited to see who would return the wallet.
In 38 of the 40 countries, the wallets with money were returned more often than those without (51% Vs 40%). In addition, wallets containing a larger sum of money ($94.15) were even more likely (by about another 10%) to be returned than those with less.
With greater temptation(诱惑), then, comes greater honesty-- at least when it comes to lost wallets. Interestingly, though, such honesty is not reflected in people's expectations of others. When surveyed, most of 299 volunteers predicted that the more money in a wallet, the less likely it would be returned.
A certain doubt about the motives of, others is probably good for survival. But the warm inner thought of “doing the right thing"” is also a powerful motivation. How this altruism developed is much debated—particularly when it extends, as in Dr Cohn's experiments, to strangers whom the altruist has no expectation of ever meeting. Be that as it may, as this study shows, such altruism is real and universal.
12. How is Alain Cohn's research different from the previous?
A. It was carried out in controlled situations.
B More scientists participated in the research.
C. It covered varied subjects and backgrounds.
D. It took no account of well-educated Westerners.
13. What can we learn from the research?
A. Rate of honesty varies among countries.
B. People prefer returning wallets without money.
C. The less money in a wallet, the higher rate of returning.
D. Wallets with more money are more likely to be given back.
14. What does the underlined word“altruism”in the last paragraph mean?
A. Doubt of others' motivations. B. Understanding of people's doubt.
C. The motivation for survival. D. Concern for others' needs.
15. What's the best title for the text?
A. Money answers all things. B. Honesty questioned in face of money.
C. Money doesn't make the world go round. D. To be or not to be, that's the question.

One particularly cold Saturday in January, I was supposed to take our dog out for a walk, but it was so cold that I didn’t want to go outside. Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside.
However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him.
Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. “I know I was supposed to walk our dog,” I admitted, “but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he’s gone and I can’t find him anywhere.”
My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, “Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away” and she printed our phone number on the bottom. “Okay, Darrell,” she said, as she handed over those signs, “now go post these on all the street posts.”
My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I’d walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself.

【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据Hoh Campground部分中“Populated with ancient trees, the rainforest feels like you’re visiting another planet. (遍布古树的雨林让你感觉像是来到了另一个星球)”和Staircase Campground部分中“Set in an old-growth forest, this campsite sits on the banks of the Skokomish River, with mountain summits lining the horizon. (这个营地位于古老的森林中,坐落在斯科科米什河岸边,与地平线上的山峰相望)”可知,这两个营地都提供了特殊的森林体验。故选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据Deer Park Campground部分中“Just getting to Deer Park Campground is a bit of an adventure, as it requires driving along a twisty road that ends at an altitude of about 5,400 feet. (到达Deer Park Campground有点冒险,因为它需要沿着一条蜿蜒的道路行驶,这条道路的终点海拔约5400英尺)”、Hoh Campground部分中“For a completely different adventure, head to Hoh Campground, located in the heart of the Hoh Rainforest. Populated with ancient trees, the rainforest feels like you’ re visiting another planet. Just be sure to bring a tent as the area gets 170 inches of rain each year. (想要体验一次截然不同的冒险,就去霍河露营地吧,它位于霍雨林的中心地带。这里满是古老的树木,让人感觉仿佛置身于另一个星球。不过一定要带上帐篷,因为这个地区每年的降雨量高达170英寸)”、Staircase Campground部分中“The perfect base-camp for an Olympic-sized adventure, Staircase Campground offers outstanding access to the park’s legendary wilderness. (这是奥运会级别探险的完美大本营,Staircase Campground为游客提供了通往公园传奇荒野的绝佳通道)”和Kalaloch Campground部分中“If you’re looking for a campsite with seaside views, Kalaloch is for you. Situated on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this campground offers some of the most memorable views. This is especially true at sunset when the Pacific is ablaze with red, orange, and yellow hues. At night, the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore will ease you to sleep with their rhythmic tones. (如果你正在寻找一个可以看到海景的露营地,Kalaloch Campground就是你的不二之选。它坐落在俯瞰太平洋的悬崖上,提供了一些最难忘的景色。尤其是在日落时分,太平洋上闪烁着红色、橙色和黄色的光辉,景色尤为迷人。到了夜晚,海浪拍打海岸的节奏声将伴你入眠)”可知,对于三代同堂的家庭来说,Kalaloch Campground这样优美、宁静且能欣赏到美丽海景的地方,各个年龄段的人都能从中获得乐趣,是比较合适的露营地选择。而Deer Park Campground到达那里需要沿着一条蜿蜒的道路行驶,可能对于老人或小孩不太方便;Hoh Campground位于雨林中心,每年有 170 英寸的降雨,出行可能不太方便;Staircase Campground更适合喜欢冒险的旅行者,相比之下,Kalaloch 露营地对于三代同堂的家庭来说是最好的露营地。故选D。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“If you’re looking for solitude and breathtaking views, these are the best places to camp inside Olympic National Park. (如果你想寻求独处和壮丽的景色,这些是在奥林匹克国家公园内露营的最佳地点)”可知,文章主要介绍了华盛顿奥林匹克国家公园内的四个露营地,包括各自的特点和适合的人群。这篇文章很可能出现在一本旅游指南中,为游客提供关于奥林匹克国家公园露营地的信息和建议。故选B。

When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
4. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. The play. B. The shared house.
C. The sofa. D. The telephone box.
5. Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006?
A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice.
C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition.
6. What do we know about the “mini community library”?
A. It provides phone service for free. B. Anyone can contribute to its collection.
C. It is popular among young readers. D. Books must be returned within a month.
7. Why did the author start to use the “library”?
A. He wanted to borrow some love stories.
B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour.
C. He found there were excellent free books.
D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading.

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.(最后一个被改造成了一个“迷你社区图书馆”:任何路过的人都可以从它的书架上“借”书,以后还回来,或者用自己收藏的另一本书来替换。)”可知,任何人都可以为“迷你社区图书馆”的捐赠图书。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后四句“Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!(然后我注意到福克正在进行春季大扫除,把各种主题的大书一箱箱地扔到那里。而且这些书是免费的。这个无与伦比的价格点鼓励我尝试许多我通常不会考虑购买的标题。我还发现了一些很棒的书!)”可知,作者发现“迷你图书馆”里有很多免费的很棒的书,所以开始使用。故选C。

If you could time travel, would you visit the past or the future? You could find your ancestors, descendants, or experience life when dinosaurs wandered in your back garden. It sounds unrealistic, but scientists have looked into whether time travel is actually possible.
Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity changed understanding of space, time, mass and gravity. The key element of this theory is that time and space are linked together, and time doesn’t flow at a constant rate, meaning it speeds up or slows down, depending on where you are. For example, when you travel at high speeds, time decreases, which means, according to NASA, astronauts in space moving at high speeds age more slowly than those on Earth! So, if you wanted to travel to the future, you would need to move close to the speed of light. Then, while centuries pass on Earth, you’d experience a relatively short amount of time and could hypothetically (假设地) return home, where it would be the future!
Travelling backwards in time seems much more difficult. Theoretically, one way of going back is via a wormhole. That means, if space and time can be folded like paper, we could create a tunnel — a shortcut between points in time. The problem is that there is no evidence that wormholes exist. “It’s been shown mathematically that they can exist, but whether they exist physically is something else,” says Emma Osborne, an astrophysicist at the University of York. Also, theories show that wormholes would be so small that a person definitely couldn’t fit through one, and they would have such an intense gravitational field that they would collapse very quickly.
For now, it seems we’ll have to be content with science fiction and using telescopes to look back in time rather than travelling through it.
8. Why does the writer mention Einstein’s theory of relativity?
A. To explain how time travel might work. B. To stress the importance of time travel.
C. To describe Einstein’s contributions to science. D. To encourage us to work out the theory.
9. Why do astronauts age more slowly than those on earth?
A. Time flows at the same speed across the universe.
B. Moving faster slows the passage of time.
C. Speed and space are closely connected.
D. The speed of light prevents their aging.
10. Why does travelling backwards in time seem much more difficult?
A. Wormholes move faster than the speed of light.
B. Scientists have not studied time travel to the past.
C. Wormholes lack scientific evidence of existence.
D. The speed of light only allows forward movement in time.
11. What is the author’s attitude regarding the possibility of time travel?
A. Objective. B. Subjective. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是基于爱因斯坦相对论的时间旅行理论,探讨了前往未来及回到过去的可能性与科学挑战。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity changed understanding of space, time, mass and gravity. The key element of this theory is that time and space are linked together, and time doesn’t flow at a constant rate, meaning it speeds up or slows down, depending on where you are.(阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的相对论改变了人们对空间、时间、质量和引力的理解。这一理论的关键要素是时间和空间是联系在一起的,时间的流逝并不是恒定的,这意味着它会根据你所在的位置而加快或减慢。)”可知,通过介绍相对论来解释时间与空间的联系以及时间流逝的变化,从而探讨时间旅行的可能性。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, when you travel at high speeds, time decreases, which means, according to NASA, astronauts in space moving at high speeds age more slowly than those on Earth!(例如,当你以高速度旅行时,时间会减慢,这意味着根据NASA的说法,以高速度在太空中移动的宇航员比在地球上的人员衰老得更慢!)”可知,根据NASA的说法,高速度旅行时,时间会减慢,由此可知,移动得更快会减缓时间的流逝。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Theoretically, one way of going back is via a wormhole. That means, if space and time can be folded like paper, we could create a tunnel — a shortcut between points in time.(理论上,回到过去的一种方式是通过虫洞。这意味着,如果空间和时间能够像纸一样折叠,我们就可以创建一个隧道——即时间点之间的捷径。)”以及“Also, theories show that wormholes would be so small that a person definitely couldn’t fit through one, and they would have such an intense gravitational field that they would collapse very quickly.(此外,理论表明虫洞会非常小,以至于人绝对无法通过。而且,它们会有如此强烈的引力场,以至于会很快崩塌。)”可知,理论上可以通过虫洞回到过去,但目前没有证据表明虫洞确实存在,并且即使存在,它们也会非常小且不稳定。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其首段中的“It sounds unrealistic, but scientists have looked into whether time travel is actually possible.(这听起来不现实,但科学家们已经研究了时间旅行是否真的可能。)”以及尾段中的“For now, it seems we’ll have to be content with science fiction and using telescopes to look back in time rather than travelling through it.(目前看来,我们可能不得不满足于科幻小说和使用望远镜回望过去,而不是真正穿越时间。)”可知,作者客观地介绍了时间旅行的理论基础,如相对论和虫洞理论,同时也指出了当前技术限制和科学挑战,由此可知,关于时间旅行的可能性,作者的态度是客观的。故选A项。
D
Imagine you found a wallet containing a stranger's contact details but no cash. Would you return it to its owner? Now imagine the same wallet contained a few banknotes. Would that change your response? Does it depend on the amount of money? And how do you think other people would react?
Honesty makes the world go round. Without people trusting in one another, society would fall apart. Honesty is therefore studied academically. Most work,in the area though, takes place under controlled conditions in labs, often featuring( 以..为特点) well-off and well-educated Westerners as its subjects. By contrast Alain Cohn of the University of Michigan and his colleagues have taken such behavioral economics around the world, covering 40 countries, 355 cities and more than 17,000 people.
As the team report this week in Science, Dr Cohn's research assistants entered public buildings. They handed in a wallet to the receptionist, saying they had found it on the street outside. Each wallet contains contact details. Importantly, some wallets also included $13.45, while others not. Then, the team simply waited to see who would return the wallet.
In 38 of the 40 countries, the wallets with money were returned more often than those without (51% Vs 40%). In addition, wallets containing a larger sum of money ($94.15) were even more likely (by about another 10%) to be returned than those with less.
With greater temptation(诱惑), then, comes greater honesty-- at least when it comes to lost wallets. Interestingly, though, such honesty is not reflected in people's expectations of others. When surveyed, most of 299 volunteers predicted that the more money in a wallet, the less likely it would be returned.
A certain doubt about the motives of, others is probably good for survival. But the warm inner thought of “doing the right thing"” is also a powerful motivation. How this altruism developed is much debated—particularly when it extends, as in Dr Cohn's experiments, to strangers whom the altruist has no expectation of ever meeting. Be that as it may, as this study shows, such altruism is real and universal.
12. How is Alain Cohn's research different from the previous?
A. It was carried out in controlled situations.
B. More scientists participated in the research.
C. It covered varied subjects and backgrounds.
D. It took no account of well-educated Westerners.
13. What can we learn from the research?
A. Rate of honesty varies among countries.
B. People prefer returning wallets without money.
C. The less money in a wallet, the higher rate of returning.
D. Wallets with more money are more likely to be given back.
14. What does the underlined word“altruism”in the last paragraph mean?
A. Doubt of others' motivations. B. Understanding of people's doubt.
C. The motivation for survival. D. Concern for others' needs.
15. What's the best title for the text?
A Money answers all things. B. Honesty questioned in face of money.
C. Money doesn't make the world go round. D. To be or not to be, that's the question.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过一个钱包实验表明,诱惑越大,人们越讲诚信,但这个结果却与人们对于他人是否诚信的预期相反,文章最后解释,这种利他主义是真实的、普遍的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“By contrast Alain Cohn of the University of Michigan and his colleagues have taken such behavioral economics around the world, covering 40 countries, 355 cities and more than 17,000 people.(相比之下,密歇根大学的 Alain Cohn 和他的同事们在世界各地采用了这种行为经济学,覆盖了40个国家,355个城市和超过17000人。)”可知,Cohn的研究涵盖了不同的人群和背景,与之前不同。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In 38 of the 40 countries, the wallets with money were returned more often than those without (51% Vs 40%). In addition, wallets containing a larger sum of money ($94.15) were even more likely (by about another 10%) to be returned than those with less.(在40个国家中的38个国家,有钱的钱包比没钱的钱包被归还的频率高(51% Vs 40%)。此外,钱包里的钱包数量(94.15美元)比钱包里的钱包更有可能被归还(大约还有10%)。)”可知,钱多的钱包更有可能被归还。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“A certain doubt about the motives of, others is probably good for survival. But the warm inner thought of “doing the right thing" is also a powerful motivation.(对他人的动机有一定的怀疑可能有利于生存。但是“做正确的事情”这种温暖的内在思想也是一种强大的动力。)”中的the warm inner thought of “doing the right thing”可推知,划线词应该是“利他主义”的意思,即关心他人的需要。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,第一段提出了关于金钱的思考,第二段则提出“Honesty makes the world go round. Without people trusting in one another, society would fall apart.(诚实使世界运转。没有人们相互信任,社会就会分崩离析。)以及下文介绍了诱惑越大,人们越讲诚信。由此可推知,作者认为金钱不能使世界运转,并且科研团队做的钱包实验也证明了这一点。C项“金钱不能使世界运转”符合题意,适合作标题。故选C项。

【36题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:此次展览由甘肃省新闻办公室和敦煌研究院承办,旨在生动展示中国丰富的文化遗产。空处需要谓语动词,主语The exhibition和bring之间是动宾关系,应用被动语态,而文中描述的活动已经结束,即动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时。故填was brought。
【37题详解】

【38题详解】

【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:它旨在促进中新两国之间的文化交流,同时通过展示敦煌石窟艺术的独特魅力促进民间交流。此处为固定短语“between…and…”表示“在……和……之间”符合句意,所以此处使用介词between。故填between。

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。
One particularly cold Saturday in January, I was supposed to take our dog out for a walk, but it was so cold that I didn’t want to go outside. Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside.
However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him.
Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. “I know I was supposed to walk our dog,” I admitted, “but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he’s gone and I can’t find him anywhere.”
My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, “Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away” and she printed our phone number on the bottom. “Okay, Darrell,” she said, as she handed over those signs, “now go post these on all the street posts.”
My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I’d walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself.

I took my sister home and continued my search alone.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I returned, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I took my sister home and continued my search alone. Carrying the signs made by my mother, I kept posting them. In the meantime, whenever there were people passing by, I would ask if they had met such a dog. I even knocked from door to door, asking if they had seen it. No luck. Nobody claimed to have spotted our dog. What if I had taken the dog out for a walk? Tears of regret welled up in my eyes. As the darkness fell, I decided to come back home to check if anybody had called.
When I returned, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. There, behind my mother, was our lovely dog looking up at me eagerly. Upon seeing me, it raced towards me. I couldn’t hold my tears. “It just came back by itself,” my mother said gently. Hugging the dog with relief, I apologized to my mother sincerely. “I am sure you have learned your lesson today,” my mother replied in a comforting voice. I played with my sister and the dog again. Despite the freezing weather outside, my heart warmed up. It was on the day that I learned the value of responsibility.
