It particularly benefits children by providing company, support, and non-judgmental companionship. The animals used in pet therapy vary, with dogs and cats being the most common. Today, the services offered by pet therapy organizations are diverse. Therapeutic Paws of Canada (TPOC), a non-profit organization has been offering pet therapy for over 20 years, having gathered over 600 volunteers and their pets. The programs offered by TPOC require pets to have an additional certification besides the basic one for working with adults and seniors. TPOC’s Vice Chair, Michele Peddle, explains that the evaluation the animals require in order to work with children is a completely different test. The cats and dogs have to be “bomb-proof”. As Peddle puts it, “The ones that can handle alarms going off, people running around, just any crazy situation: They are bomb-proof animals.” Peddle recalls a case where his dog, Jasmine, worked closely with a boy with severe disabilities. Peddle would bring Jasmine to this boy’s school on a regular basis. In addition to the joy he experienced when seeing Jasmine, the dog’s presence encouraged the boy’s classmates to interact with and spend more time with him. Jasmine ended up being a lifelong source of comfort and social interaction. The boy is now a young adult and the partnership he had with Jasmine never disappeared. Peddle insists therapy animals naturally support kids, sensing their needs. She said, "You can’t train it into them. They either get it or they don’t.” 4. What the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain the benefits of pet therapy. B. To introduce the topic of pet therapy. C. To describe the history of pet therapy. D. To stress the importance of pet therapy. 5. What does “bomb-proof” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Intelligent. B. Calm. C. Trained. D. Persistent. 6. What did Jasmine help the boy with severe disabilities? A Improve physical abilities. B. Develop his interests in animals. C. Build emotional connections. D. Enhance academic performance. 7. What does Peddle think of therapy animals? A. They are highly sensitive. B. They only work for kids. C. They require special training. D. They rely on natural instincts. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了宠物疗法的意义以及相关应用案例。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Pet therapy, a kind of animal-assisted emotional support to those with various mental health issues, dates as far back as the 1600s. It particularly benefits children by providing company, support, and non-judgmental companionship. The animals used in pet therapy vary, with dogs and cats being the most common. Today, the services offered by pet therapy organizations are diverse. (宠物疗法是一种动物辅助的情感支持，可以追溯到17世纪。它通过提供陪伴、支持和不加评判的陪伴，尤其对孩子有益。宠物治疗中使用的动物多种多样，狗和猫是最常见的。如今，宠物治疗机构提供的服务多种多样。)”可知，第一段的目的是介绍宠物治疗的话题。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The ones that can handle alarms going off, people running around, just any crazy situation (那些能够应对警报响起、人们跑来跑去、任何疯狂情况的动物)”可知，这些动物能够应对警报响起、人们跑来跑去、任何疯狂情况，说明能够保持平静。故划线词意思是“平静的”。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Jasmine ended up being a lifelong source of comfort and social interaction. The boy is now a young adult and the partnership he had with Jasmine never disappeared. (贾斯敏最终成为了我一生的安慰和社交来源。这个男孩现在已经成年，他和贾斯敏的伙伴关系从未消失。)”可知，贾斯敏帮助那个严重残疾的男孩建立情感联系。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Peddle insists therapy animals naturally support kids, sensing their needs. She said, "You can’t train it into them. (佩德尔坚持认为，治疗动物会自然地支持孩子，感知他们的需求。)”可知，Peddle认为宠物疗法是依靠自然本能。故选D。 C The world uses 3 million tonnes of pesticides annually, but much of it is unnecessary. The extra chemicals run off onto land and enter watercourses, harming the environment and health. Now new AI-based spraying methods are being commercialized, promising to reduce pesticide use by up to 90%. The agricultural industry has made progress in reducing overspray, but precision spraying with AI is the future. A team from AgZen, set up by Kripa Varanasi and Vishnu Jayaprakash in 2020 to commercialize a new type of spray nozzle (喷嘴), came up with a monitoring system called RealCoverage, which has now been launched as a product in its own right. Capable of being fitted to existing sprayers, RealCoverage consists of two camera-based sensors on each spray arm, one placed slightly ahead and the other just behind. The AI model take account of various external factors, such as weather conditions, to compute how effective the spray will be. The results are shown in real-time on a display in the driver’s cab, giving a simple percentage of spray success. In addition, it can suggest how things might be improved, so the driver can adjust the nozzles, raise or lower the boom or drive a bit faster or slower to achieve better coverage. All this provides a huge increase in the depth of knowledge available to farmers, essentially allowing them to measure spray results in terms of milliliters per leaf, instead of liters per hectare.The firm says trials on farms in America and Europe allowed farmers to save 30-50% of their chemical costs. For farmers willing to try these new technologies, the possibility of reducing waste is very attractive. 8. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs? A. Pesticides are necessary for farming. B. The farming industry fully uses AI. C. AI spraying methods are widely used. D. Excess pesticides threaten the environment. 9. How does RealCoverage support farmers to achieve better spray coverage? A. By reducing pesticide use. B. By providing real-time feedback. C. By predicting weather conditions. D. By adjusting the nozzles automatically. 10. What is the author’s attitude toward AI spraying technology? A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Skeptical. 11. What is the best title of the passage? A. AI Spraying: Precision Meets Sustainability B. Smart Sensors: Future of Agriculture C. Traditional Farming VS Modern Technology D. Global Challenges in Pesticide Management 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了基于人工智能的新型喷洒技术可减少农药使用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中 “The extra chemicals run off onto land and enter watercourses, harming the environment and health. (多余的化学物质流到土地上并进入水道，危害环境和健康)”可知，过量的农药会威胁环境。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The AI model take account of various external factors, such as weather conditions, to compute how effective the spray will be. The results are shown in real-time on a display in the driver’s cab, giving a simple percentage of spray success. In addition, it can suggest how things might be improved, so the driver can adjust the nozzles, raise or lower the boom or drive a bit faster or slower to achieve better coverage. (人工智能模型考虑各种外部因素，如天气条件，来计算喷洒的效果。结果会实时显示在驾驶室的显示屏上，给出一个简单的喷洒成功率百分比。此外，它可以建议如何改进，这样驾驶员就可以调整喷嘴，升高或降低喷杆，或者开得快一点或慢一点，以实现更好的喷洒覆盖)”可知，RealCoverage通过提供实时反馈帮助农民实现更好的喷洒覆盖。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Now new AI-based spraying methods are being commercialized, promising to reduce pesticide use by up to 90%. The agricultural industry has made progress in reducing overspray, but precision spraying with AI is the future. (现在，新的基于人工智能的喷洒方法正在商业化，有望将农药使用量减少高达 90%。农业在减少过度喷洒方面已经取得了进展，但人工智能精准喷洒是未来的趋势)”可推知，作者对该技术持乐观态度。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“Now new AI-based spraying methods are being commercialized, promising to reduce pesticide use by up to 90%. The agricultural industry has made progress in reducing overspray, but precision spraying with AI is the future. (现在，新的基于人工智能的喷洒方法正在商业化，有望将农药使用量减少高达 90%。农业在减少过度喷洒方面已经取得了进展，但人工智能精准喷洒是未来的趋势)”可知，文章主要介绍了基于人工智能的新型喷洒技术，这种技术能够精准喷洒农药，减少农药使用量，实现可持续发展。由此可知，A选项“AI Spraying: Precision Meets Sustainability (人工智能喷洒：精准与可持续性相结合)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。 D After an unusual abundance of orange poppies (罂粟花) appeared on the slopes of Walker Canyon, in the Temescal Mountains south-east of Los Angeles, social-media influencers streamed to the scene to take pictures of themselves among the blossoms, prompting their followers to do the same. The “superbloom” of flowers produced a superbloom of people, stamping on the poppies, causing squeeze-out phenomenon and posing a public safety risk. For Nicholas Carr, a critic of technology, this scene represents today’s media-filled world. Like poppies, social platforms are attractive but harmful. In his book Superbloom, Carr examines the unintended impacts of communications technologies. He argues that unchecked self-expression on social media can produce feelings of envy and loneliness, and even contribute to depression. While many blame profit-driven tech firms and call for stricter regulation, Carr takes a different track. He believes that the issues with social media arise from the interplay between the fundamental features of digital networks and human nature. Carr provides many examples of how digital media can intensify deep-seated tendencies in human nature. For instance, a 1976 study showed that living close to others often led to more conflicts than friendships. On social media, everyone is a neighbour, and digital media highlight certain aspects of human nature while reducing others. Therefore, breaking up big tech firms is unlikely to change social media’s workings, as other companies would simply replace them. Instead, Carr suggests that users need to change themselves by living a more material and less virtual existence. However, despite his detailed analysis, Carr’s solutions appear vague. Critics suggest he avoids repeating ideas from others, reflecting a deeper issue: the negative impacts of social media have been extensively discussed, and criticizing these platforms is now commonplace. The debate has moved on to topics like AI and tech bosses’ ties to politicians. Ultimately, Carr may have simply followed the crowd instead of offering truly original insights. 12. What does the “superbloom” of orange poppies symbolize in the passage? A. The beauty of nature. B. The importance of public safety. C. The popularity of social media. D. The negative impacts of social media. 13. Why does Carr mention the 1976 study in his book Superbloom? A. To show social media can increase conflicts. B. To argue breaking up tech firms won’t help. C. To explain how digital media highlight human nature. D. To prove living close to others causes more conflicts. 14. What does Carr advise to do regarding the issues with social media? A. Limit users’ digital use. B. Make stricter regulations of tech firms. C. Post more positive contents online. D. Be aware of social media’s darkside. 15. Where is the article probably taken from? A. A travel guide. B. A social media blog. C. A book review. D. A technology magazine. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨社交媒体带来的负面影响及Nicholas Carr在其著作《超级绽放》中的观点。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“After an unusual abundance of orange poppies (罂粟花) appeared on the slopes of Walker Canyon, in the Temescal Mountains south-east of Los Angeles, social-media influencers streamed to the scene to take pictures of themselves among the blossoms, prompting their followers to do the same. The “superbloom” of flowers produced a superbloom of people, stamping on the poppies, causing squeeze-out phenomenon and posing a public safety risk. (在洛杉矶东南部特梅斯卡尔山脉的沃克峡谷山坡上，出现了异常繁茂的橙色罂粟花之后，社交媒体上的网红纷纷前往该地，在花丛中自拍，这也促使他们的粉丝纷纷效仿。花朵的 “超级盛开” 引来了大量人群，这些人踩在罂粟花上，造成了拥挤现象，并带来了公共安全风险。)”以及第二段“For Nicholas Carr, a critic of technology, this scene represents today’s media-filled world. Like poppies, social platforms are attractive but harmful. (对于技术批评家尼古拉斯・卡尔来说，这一场景代表了如今充满媒体的世界。就像罂粟花一样，社交平台有吸引力但也有害。)”可知，橙色罂粟花的“超级盛开”象征着社交媒体的负面影响。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Carr provides many examples of how digital media can intensify deep-seated tendencies in human nature. For instance, a 1976 study showed that living close to others often led to more conflicts than friendships. On social media, everyone is a neighbour, and digital media highlight certain aspects of human nature while reducing others. (卡尔提供了许多例子，说明数字媒体如何加剧人类本性中根深蒂固的倾向。例如，1976年的一项研究表明，与他人近距离居住往往会导致更多的冲突而非友谊。在社交媒体上，每个人都是邻居，数字媒体突出了人类本性的某些方面，同时削弱了其他方面。)”可知，卡尔引用1976年研究是为了说明数字媒体如何放大人类本性中的冲突倾向，进而解释其观点，即在《超级绽放》一书中提到1976年的研究是为了解释数字媒体如何凸显人性。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Instead, Carr suggests that users need to change themselves by living a more material and less virtual existence. (相反，卡尔建议用户需要通过过一种更物质化、更少虚拟化的生活来改变自己。)”可知，卡尔建议限制用户对数字产品的使用。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In his book Superbloom, Carr examines the unintended impacts of communications technologies. (在他的《超级绽放》一书中，卡尔研究了通信技术意想不到的影响。)”以及全文对卡尔观点的讨论和评价可知，文章主要是对卡尔的书进行评论，所以文章可能来自一篇书评。故选C。 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。 How to Create a Durable Memory Life is full of disconnected events, and memory allows us to connect those events and construct our stories. ___16___ The following principles will help you keep your memory sharp at any age.

For example, although one may thoroughly enjoy a particular conversation, the same conversation a second time around would be dull. Take advantage of chunking Any group of elements that can be associated with each other can become a chunk. We remember the whole by remembering the parts. For example, a phone number sequence of 7-5-4-1-4-2-5 would be chunked into 754-1425. ___18___ ___19___ The more study sessions are spaced apart, the more effort is required for remembering, and that leads to better long-term memory. For example, an hour of study tonight, an hour on the weekend, and another session a week from now. Ideally, schedule with sleep in between sessions. Adequate sleep could be the most important part of the memory process. Attach Emotional Significance. The experience of emotion enhances our memories.

(生活充满了不相关的事件，而记忆让我们能够将这些事件联系起来并构建我们的故事)”以及下文“The following principles will help you keep your memory sharp at any age. (以下原则将帮助你在任何年龄都保持敏锐的记忆力)”可知，上文阐述了记忆的作用，下文引出具体提升记忆力的原则，所以本空应是关于如何形成新记忆的过渡句。D选项“But how do we form new memories? (但是我们如何形成新的记忆呢？)”能够承上启下，符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 由下文“We remember what we pay attention to. (我们记住我们关注的东西)”可知，此段强调注意力对记忆的重要性。C选项“Focus helps create a memory. (专注有助于创造记忆)”能概括该段主旨，符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 由上文“Any group of elements that can be associated with each other can become a chunk. We remember the whole by remembering the parts. For example, a phone number sequence of 7-5-4-1-4-2-5 would be chunked into 754-1425. (任何一组相互关联的元素都可以成为一个组块。我们通过记住部分来记住整体。例如，电话号码 7-5-4-1-4-2-5可以被分成754-1425两个组块)”可知，这里在说明利用组块记忆法的好处，本空应进一步说明了组块记忆法的作用。E选项“It helps retain and recall information.

On March 3 three years ago, Michel and his friend Zuber, both with the required avalanche gear (雪崩防护装备), including a two-way radio and a shovel, went on their second run of the morning around the area nicknamed Powder Mountain. As usual, they were attracted to the fresh powder outside the routes maintained by the ski patrol (巡逻队), which were marked by ropes and signs to warn that they had left the safe zone. Speeding down under the ropes, they experienced great powder and enjoyed the thrill of navigating through the trees, which was exactly they chased. Rushing down the hill, they were aware of tree wells around, which are formed when low-lying branches hindered snow accumulation around trees, resulting in deep packed snow that could bury a person. But they got used to these hidden dangers, for digging themselves out of a tree well was not so difficult, just as Michel said, “We’ve been there. I’ve had to dig out a couple times.You reach down through the snow, find the board, loosen it from your feet and pull yourself out of the hole.” Ridiculously, snowboarding is usually safe, but can quickly turn dangerous. On that morning run, when moving through the trees, Michel ran into trouble. The front of his board hit a small branch hidden under a massive layer of new snow. Up-ended, Michel fell backward into a tree well. Then he was trapped upside-down in deep snow, in total darkness. Obviously, he could not dig himself out this time. Remembering his avalanche-survival training, Michel knew he had to make an air pocket around his mouth. Carefully, he struggled to push snow away from his mouth, and then used his jacket to protect the air pocket, which could help him last a little longer. . 注意： （1）续写词数应为 150 个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then, the two-way radio on Michel’s shoulder crackled with message from Zuber. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Zuber reached the well and used his shovel to dig downward violently. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1 Then, the two-way radio on Michel’s shoulder crackled with message from Zuber. “Michel! Where are you?” Michel knew it’s difficult for Zuber to help him because of the risky situation so he only replied he was trapped but let him be. However, Zuber would not give up his friend. Informing Michel on the radio, “Wait and I’ll dig you out.” Zuber hunted around and caught a glimpse of red color in his side vision, which was exactly Michel’s upside-down snowboard. With excitement, Zuber loosened his snowboard, anxiously but determinedly, with his shovel as a stick, stepping through the thick snow towards his friend’s site. Para 2 Zuber reached the well and used his shovel to dig downward violently. Soon the dug-out snow made a big snowman beside him. Then, suddenly, Michel sensed the darkness began to lighten. His jacket moved away from his face. It was Zuber who pushed the snow away from his mouth. Fresh air hit Michel’s face, and he sucked as much of it into his starving lungs as he could. The moment Zuber pulled Michel free and helped him stand up, they hugged tightly. “You give me a second life.” Michel mumbled. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述滑雪爱好者米歇尔常去贝克山滑雪。三年前3月3日，他和朋友带着雪崩防护装备，在非安全区滑行时，米歇尔因滑雪板撞到树枝，倒栽进树井被困。凭借雪崩生存训练知识，他在嘴边制造气穴等待救援，展现惊险的求生一幕。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接着，米歇尔肩上的对讲机传来祖贝尔沙沙的声音”可以预测续写这段主要内容： 米歇尔被困树井告知祖贝尔别冒险，祖贝尔执意救援，循滑雪板前往其被困处 。 ②由第二段首句内容“祖贝尔赶到了树井边，然后用力地向下铲雪。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：祖贝尔奋力挖雪救出被困树井的米歇尔，两人相拥，米歇尔感激对方救命之恩 。 2.续写线索： 告知祖贝尔别冒险——祖贝尔执意救援——祖贝尔奋力挖雪—— 救出米歇尔——米歇尔感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 回复： reply/respond ② 放弃：give upre/linquish/abandon ③ 看见：catch a glimpse of/catch sight of/see 情绪类 ① 兴奋：excitement/exhilaration/thrill ② 焦虑地：anxiously/worriedly 【点睛】[高分句型1].

It particularly benefits children by providing company, support, and non-judgmental companionship. The animals used in pet therapy vary, with dogs and cats being the most common. Today, the services offered by pet therapy organizations are diverse. Therapeutic Paws of Canada (TPOC), a non-profit organization has been offering pet therapy for over 20 years, having gathered over 600 volunteers and their pets. The programs offered by TPOC require pets to have an additional certification besides the basic one for working with adults and seniors. TPOC’s Vice Chair, Michele Peddle, explains that the evaluation the animals require in order to work with children is a completely different test. The cats and dogs have to be “bomb-proof”. As Peddle puts it, “The ones that can handle alarms going off, people running around, just any crazy situation: They are bomb-proof animals.” Peddle recalls a case where his dog, Jasmine, worked closely with a boy with severe disabilities. Peddle would bring Jasmine to this boy’s school on a regular basis. In addition to the joy he experienced when seeing Jasmine, the dog’s presence encouraged the boy’s classmates to interact with and spend more time with him. Jasmine ended up being a lifelong source of comfort and social interaction. The boy is now a young adult and the partnership he had with Jasmine never disappeared. Peddle insists therapy animals naturally support kids, sensing their needs. She said, "You can’t train it into them. They either get it or they don’t.” 4. What the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain the benefits of pet therapy. B. To introduce the topic of pet therapy. C To describe the history of pet therapy. D. To stress the importance of pet therapy. 5. What does “bomb-proof” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Intelligent. B. Calm. C. Trained. D. Persistent. 6. What did Jasmine help the boy with severe disabilities? A. Improve physical abilities. B. Develop his interests in animals. C. Build emotional connections. D. Enhance academic performance. 7. What does Peddle think of therapy animals? A. They are highly sensitive. B. They only work for kids. C. They require special training. D. They rely on natural instincts. C The world uses 3 million tonnes of pesticides annually, but much of it is unnecessary. The extra chemicals run off onto land and enter watercourses, harming the environment and health. Now new AI-based spraying methods are being commercialized, promising to reduce pesticide use by up to 90%. The agricultural industry has made progress in reducing overspray, but precision spraying with AI is the future. A team from AgZen, set up by Kripa Varanasi and Vishnu Jayaprakash in 2020 to commercialize a new type of spray nozzle (喷嘴), came up with a monitoring system called RealCoverage, which has now been launched as a product in its own right. Capable of being fitted to existing sprayers, RealCoverage consists of two camera-based sensors on each spray arm, one placed slightly ahead and the other just behind. The AI model take account of various external factors, such as weather conditions, to compute how effective the spray will be. The results are shown in real-time on a display in the driver’s cab, giving a simple percentage of spray success. In addition, it can suggest how things might be improved, so the driver can adjust the nozzles, raise or lower the boom or drive a bit faster or slower to achieve better coverage. All this provides a huge increase in the depth of knowledge available to farmers essentially allowing them to measure spray results in terms of milliliters per leaf, instead of liters per hectare.The firm says trials on farms in America and Europe allowed farmers to save 30-50% of their chemical costs. For farmers willing to try these new technologies, the possibility of reducing waste is very attractive. 8. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs? A. Pesticides are necessary for farming. B. The farming industry fully uses AI. C. AI spraying methods are widely used. D. Excess pesticides threaten the environment. 9. How does RealCoverage support farmers to achieve better spray coverage? A. By reducing pesticide use. B. By providing real-time feedback. C. By predicting weather conditions. D. By adjusting the nozzles automatically. 10. What is the author’s attitude toward AI spraying technology? A. Optimistic. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Skeptical. 11. What is the best title of the passage? A. AI Spraying: Precision Meets Sustainability B. Smart Sensors: Future of Agriculture C. Traditional Farming VS Modern Technology D. Global Challenges in Pesticide Management D After an unusual abundance of orange poppies (罂粟花) appeared on the slopes of Walker Canyon, in the Temescal Mountains south-east of Los Angeles, social-media influencers streamed to the scene to take pictures of themselves among the blossoms, prompting their followers to do the same. The “superbloom” of flowers produced a superbloom of people, stamping on the poppies, causing squeeze-out phenomenon and posing a public safety risk. For Nicholas Carr, a critic of technology, this scene represents today’s media-filled world. Like poppies, social platforms are attractive but harmful. In his book Superbloom, Carr examines the unintended impacts of communications technologies. He argues that unchecked self-expression on social media can produce feelings of envy and loneliness, and even contribute to depression. While many blame profit-driven tech firms and call for stricter regulation, Carr takes a different track. He believes that the issues with social media arise from the interplay between the fundamental features of digital networks and human nature. Carr provides many examples of how digital media can intensify deep-seated tendencies in human nature. For instance, a 1976 study showed that living close to others often led to more conflicts than friendships. On social media, everyone is a neighbour, and digital media highlight certain aspects of human nature while reducing others. Therefore, breaking up big tech firms is unlikely to change social media’s workings, as other companies would simply replace them. Instead, Carr suggests that users need to change themselves by living a more material and less virtual existence. However, despite his detailed analysis, Carr’s solutions appear vague. Critics suggest he avoids repeating ideas from others, reflecting a deeper issue: the negative impacts of social media have been extensively discussed, and criticizing these platforms is now commonplace.

On March 3 three years ago, Michel and his friend Zuber, both with the required avalanche gear (雪崩防护装备), including a two-way radio and a shovel, went on their second run of the morning around the area nicknamed Powder Mountain. As usual, they were attracted to the fresh powder outside the routes maintained by the ski patrol (巡逻队), which were marked by ropes and signs to warn that they had left the safe zone. Speeding down under the ropes, they experienced great powder and enjoyed the thrill of navigating through the trees, which was exactly they chased. Rushing down the hill, they were aware of tree wells around, which are formed when low-lying branches hindered snow accumulation around trees, resulting in deep packed snow that could bury a person. But they got used to these hidden dangers, for digging themselves out of a tree well was not so difficult, just as Michel said, “We’ve been there. I’ve had to dig out a couple times.You reach down through the snow, find the board, loosen it from your feet and pull yourself out of the hole.” Ridiculously, snowboarding is usually safe, but can quickly turn dangerous. On that morning run, when moving through the trees, Michel ran into trouble. The front of his board hit a small branch hidden under a massive layer of new snow. Up-ended, Michel fell backward into a tree well. Then he was trapped upside-down in deep snow, in total darkness. Obviously, he could not dig himself out this time. Remembering his avalanche-survival training, Michel knew he had to make an air pocket around his mouth. Carefully, he struggled to push snow away from his mouth, and then used his jacket to protect the air pocket, which could help him last a little longer. . 注意： （1）续写词数应为 150 个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then, the two-way radio on Michel’s shoulder crackled with message from Zuber. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Zuber reached the well and used his shovel to dig downward violently. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
