Nearly everyone at All Things Wild Rehabilitation, a shelter for injured and displaced wildlife in Georgetown, agrees that Polly, the shelter’s 1-year-old Pekin duck, has never known a stranger. “She’s very clingy to everybody here,” said Jessica Green, Polly’s caretaker. “She loves being a loved duck.”
Polly was brought to the shelter last October after losing part of her bill (鸟嘴) in what staff members believe was an animal attack. “Polly might come as an Easter gift for a kid… and somebody got tired of all of the work that it takes to raise a little duckling, so they dropped off her at a pond in Leander,” Green said. “After being dropped off, we believe Polly was attacked by a snapping turtle, resulting in the injury.”
As a Pekin duck, Polly was never meant to live in the wild. “It’s a domestic (驯养的) duck here. Not native. Releasing it to local ponds… there’s just very low chances of survival.” But Polly survived and captured both the hearts and minds of Georgetown residents.
Months ago, All Things Wild reached out to Southwestern university’s 3-D printing lab to inquire about the possibility of creating an artificial bill for Polly, which would allow Polly to do something she currently can’t do without help.
“Sure, we’ll give it a go.” said Andrade, a junior at the University. “We’ve just kept doing all of the research and scanning and modeling required… and we’ve actually made some progress.” Hopefully, Polly will have an artificial bill to try on this June.
Jeff Manley, owner of a pet supply store chain in Georgetown, decided to raise funds for Polly’s new bill. He now sells duck dog toys at his stores in honor of Polly. “It’s definitely something people can relate to. Buying a duck toy gives people something they can hold onto and say, ‘Look, I helped make this happen.’”
Manley was impressed by the community’s reaction to the fundraiser. “I think that’s what Georgetown is about — about the community and supporting each other.”
4. What does the word “clingy” in Paragraph 1 most likely mean?
A. Socially active. B. Naturally curious.
C. Physically weak. D. Emotionally attached.
5. What caused Polly’s bill injury according to the article?
A. An attack by a certain wild animal. B. An accident in an Easter celebration.
C. An injury from human mistreatment. D. A conflict with other domestic ducks.
6. Why can’t Pekin ducks survive well in the wild?
A. They are too small to defend themselves. B. They struggle to find enough food in ponds.
C. They easily get lost in unfamiliar environments. D. They are domesticated and can’t adapt to nature.
7. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Polly’s Journey with Innovative 3D Printing.
B. Community Love to Give a Duck a Second Chance.
C. A Successful Fundraising Story Behind a Duck Toy.
D. Dangers of Releasing Domestic Ducks into the Wild.
C
Oasis agriculture is a unique agricultural practice that thrives in the middle of arid and semi-arid regions where water is a limited resource. These oases, usually forms where underground water reaches the ground, create fertile soil in deserts, allowing crops and plants to grow in such tough conditions. AlUla, an area in northwest Saudi Arabia, is a perfect example of this type of farming, with a history of thousands of years.
The formation of AIUla’s oasis results from a dry riverbed that channels water from distant rain into the valley, enriching the soil with minerals from the neighboring basalt (玄武岩) plains. This natural water source not only helped plants to grow and attracted animals but also became the home of early human societies. Around 5, 000 years ago, people started to grow cereal grains in this area. Scientists have found evidence of ancient farming and diets in old grains, seeds, and wood, showing how important the oasis was for these early communities.
Today, oases like AlUla are not only centers for farming but also places where trade, knowledge, and farming methods have been shared for centuries. However, these oases now face serious threats. For example, climate problems are changing rain patterns and making areas drier. Harmful farming practices and city expansion are using up water supplies, causing water levels to drop and soil to lose quality. Competition for limited resources is making social and economic gaps wider, putting oasis agriculture at risk. Without quick action, its future is uncertain.
To protect oasis agriculture, sustainable management is needed. This includes using water-saving irrigation systems, avoiding water waste, and encouraging natural farming with varied crops. It is also vital to include local communities in protecting oases, as they have valuable knowledge passed down through generations. By doing these, we can ensure oasis agriculture survives and helps protect both Earth’s biodiversity and cultural history.
8. In which regions is oasis agriculture mainly applied?
A. Regions with limited water. B. Regions with frequent floods.
C. Extremely cold regions. D. Highly populated regions.
9. What is the primary cause of AlUla’s oasis formation?
A. The discovery of ancient farming and diets.
B. Minerals from the nearby plains.
C. A dry riverbed transporting rainwater to the valley.
D. The settlement of ancient people.
10. Why are the examples mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To analyze the limitation of oasis agriculture.
B. To prove the importance of oases.
C. To stress the effects on developing oasis agriculture.
D. To illustrate the specific threats to oases.
11. Which suggestion does the author agree with?
A. Growing single crops for higher efficiency. B. Adopting eco-friendly farming policies.
C. Relying only on government-led conservation. D. Banning using all irrigation systems.
D
Releasing tiny metal rods (金属棒) into Mars’ atmosphere could warm the planet enough to melt water and support microbial life. Scientists at the University of Chicago aim to find a way to make Mars suitable for humans to live. So it is crucial to raise its surface temperature. Some people have suggested putting mirrors above Mars’ surface or pumping methane (甲) into its atmosphere, but these ideas are difficult to apply because the raw materials required would need to be sent from Earth.
Now, Edwin Kite and his colleagues have found relatively small dust clouds made from iron or aluminium (铝) rods taken from rocks on Mars could warm the planet in a period of a few months or over a decade, depending on how quickly the particles are released. These metal rods could be carried by wind from the surface to Mars’ upper atmosphere, where they would then remain for around a decade, trapping heat from below and allowing more sunlight through.
Kite and his team modeled how the rods responded to light and then fed this information into climate simulations (模拟), which showed that the increase in temperature and pressure would be enough for parts of Mars to sustain liquid water and potentially oxygen-producing bacteria. They also found that this warming would only need the rods to be released at a rate equal to that of water flowing through about 30 garden taps, amounting to a total of 700,000 cubic metres of metal per year to achieve the required warming, or around 1 percent of Earth's metal production.
“According to our plan, we found a surprisingly small amount of engineered dust would be required, much less than the amount of engineered greenhouse gases required if you wanted the same amount of warming,” says Kite. “But it would still be challenging to dig large holes in the ground to collect iron or aluminium from Mars.”
“One uncertainty in the simulations is how the tiny rods might interact with water in Mars’ atmosphere. Water can form a group with the dust and fall back to the surface as rain, reducing the warming,” says Manoj Joshi at the University of East Anglia, UK.
12. What do the scientists at the University of Chicago try to do?
A. To make Mars habitable. B. To change Mars’ landscape.
C. To send raw materials to Mars. D. To find microbial life on Mars.
13. What can the metal rods do?
A. Help clean Mars’ atmosphere. B. Better expose Mars’ surface to the sun.
C. Collect particles from Mars’ rocks. D. Keep Mars’ upper atmosphere cold.
14. What is the difficulty of the plan according to Kite?
A. Sustaining liquid water on Mars’ surface.
B. Mining for needed metal materials on Mars.
C. Producing a large amount of water on lars.
D. Releasing engineered greenhouse gases into Mars’ atmosphere.
15. What is Manoi Joshi’s attitude towards the plan?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Serious. D. Unclear.

It’s common for you to pressure your children to be smarter. ____16____ Forcing children to study may be the easiest way for them to learn, but not the best way. There are several guidelines you can follow so that your children see studying as a way to acquire new things.
You should always remember you are not a teacher. Although you need to guarantee that your children are completing their homework without any mistakes, you shouldn’t do the homework for them. If you do, your children won’t be able to address their own issues and will always depend on others for help. ____17____
Besides, be cautious about rewarding children for good grades. If you abuse this, your children will only attempt to study for a reward. Getting bad grades, they’ll feel like a failure. Thus, it’s better to praise your children when they pass a test. ____18____ This way, they’ll see their mistakes as opportunities to improve and not see themselves as failures.
____19____ If you only spare no efforts to force your children to study both you and they will be frustrated. Therefore, place emphasis on devoting time to other activities that are fundamental to your children’s development, like playing sports and watching movies.
Some parents hold the belief that mental disorders lead to children’s lack of interest in study. ____20____ It’s very likely that their children are simply demotivated or disinterested. Therefore, it’s good to take the above tips into account. As a result, your children may find a genuine desire to study and do their own homework.
A. That’s not necessarily the case.
B. It is teachers’ duty to correct homework mistakes.
C. You may enroll them in various after-class courses.
D. If not, patiently show them how to do better next time.
E. Instead, offer them guidance and tools to do self-research.
F. Vital as study is, it’s not the only thing kids must focus on.
G. Even if they fail in exams, you’d better control your temper.

Being home alone turned out to be a lot less fun than expected for one Queensland teen, after he found a deadly eastern brown snake had slipped into his four-year-old sister’s bedroom.
It was a weekday afternoon. Ms Pallister was at work as usual. Her teenage son and four-year-old daughter were resting at home. Her son was having a sick leave from school.
When suddenly the teenager heard something special ringing in the house. It seemed that someone might secretly moved in the house. So he quietly slipped out of bed and went out of his room to check.
The slippery, uninvited house guest was a long eastern brown snake. It might come from some unnoticed hole into the house. It disappeared from the living room soon and then slid its way across the girl’s bedroom. It might be a huge children’s literary fan, knocking over multiple books from the bookshelf while inside the bedroom and stopped at the collection of pink shoes of the four-year-old’s girl, who was sleeping in the bed at that time. “Not exactly what you want to find in your baby’s room when you come home,” Ms Pallister recalled later. “It likes pink shoes. It’s quite a long snake. Besides, it has deadly poison.”
The teenager was frightened at the scene at the first sight. What could he do? It may be terrifying for his little sister and he must do something immediately. He had intended to pull it out of the house. But with the pictures of snakes, which he learnt in his field-trip study in a farm, flashing through his mind, he calmed down at the close encounter.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The teenager turned back to his bedroom quietly and texted Ms Pallister.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Spotting men with tools approaching the house, the teenager opened the door quietly.

Nearly everyone at All Things Wild Rehabilitation, a shelter for injured and displaced wildlife in Georgetown, agrees that Polly, the shelter’s 1-year-old Pekin duck, has never known a stranger. “She’s very clingy to everybody here,” said Jessica Green, Polly’s caretaker. “She loves being a loved duck.”
Polly was brought to the shelter last October after losing part of her bill (鸟嘴) in what staff members believe was an animal attack. “Polly might come as an Easter gift for a kid… and somebody got tired of all of the work that it takes to raise a little duckling, so they dropped off her at a pond in Leander,” Green said. “After being dropped off, we believe Polly was attacked by a snapping turtle, resulting in the injury.”
As a Pekin duck, Polly was never meant to live in the wild. “It’s a domestic (驯养的) duck here. Not native. Releasing it to local ponds… there’s just very low chances of survival.” But Polly survived and captured both the hearts and minds of Georgetown residents.
Months ago, All Things Wild reached out to Southwestern university’s 3-D printing lab to inquire about the possibility of creating an artificial bill for Polly, which would allow Polly to do something she currently can’t do without help.
“Sure, we’ll give it a go.” said Andrade, a junior at the University. “We’ve just kept doing all of the research and scanning and modeling required… and we’ve actually made some progress.” Hopefully, Polly will have an artificial bill to try on this June.
Jeff Manley, owner of a pet supply store chain in Georgetown, decided to raise funds for Polly’s new bill. He now sells duck dog toys at his stores in honor of Polly. “It’s definitely something people can relate to. Buying a duck toy gives people something they can hold onto and say, ‘Look, I helped make this happen.’”
Manley was impressed by the community’s reaction to the fundraiser. “I think that’s what Georgetown is about — about the community and supporting each other.”
4. What does the word “clingy” in Paragraph 1 most likely mean?
A. Socially active. B. Naturally curious.
C. Physically weak. D. Emotionally attached.
5. What caused Polly’s bill injury according to the article?
A. An attack by a certain wild animal. B. An accident in an Easter celebration.
C. An injury from human mistreatment. D. A conflict with other domestic ducks.
6. Why can’t Pekin ducks survive well in the wild?
A. They are too small to defend themselves. B. They struggle to find enough food in ponds.
C. They easily get lost in unfamiliar environments. D. They are domesticated and can’t adapt to nature.
7. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Polly’s Journey with Innovative 3D Printing.
B. Community Love to Give a Duck a Second Chance.
C. A Successful Fundraising Story Behind a Duck Toy.
D. Dangers of Releasing Domestic Ducks into the Wild.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. B

Oasis agriculture is a unique agricultural practice that thrives in the middle of arid and semi-arid regions, where water is a limited resource. These oases, usually forms where underground water reaches the ground, create fertile soil in deserts, allowing crops and plants to grow in such tough conditions. AlUla, an area in northwest Saudi Arabia, is a perfect example of this type of farming, with a history of thousands of years.
The formation of AIUla’s oasis results from a dry riverbed that channels water from distant rain into the valley, enriching the soil with minerals from the neighboring basalt (玄武岩) plains. This natural water source not only helped plants to grow and attracted animals but also became the home of early human societies. Around 5, 000 years ago, people started to grow cereal grains in this area. Scientists have found evidence of ancient farming and diets in old grains, seeds, and wood, showing how important the oasis was for these early communities.
Today, oases like AlUla are not only centers for farming but also places where trade, knowledge, and farming methods have been shared for centuries. However, these oases now face serious threats. For example, climate problems are changing rain patterns and making areas drier. Harmful farming practices and city expansion are using up water supplies, causing water levels to drop and soil to lose quality. Competition for limited resources is making social and economic gaps wider, putting oasis agriculture at risk. Without quick action, its future is uncertain.
To protect oasis agriculture, sustainable management is needed. This includes using water-saving irrigation systems, avoiding water waste, and encouraging natural farming with varied crops. It is also vital to include local communities in protecting oases, as they have valuable knowledge passed down through generations. By doing these, we can ensure oasis agriculture survives and helps protect both Earth’s biodiversity and cultural history.
8. In which regions is oasis agriculture mainly applied?
A. Regions with limited water. B. Regions with frequent floods.
C. Extremely cold regions. D. Highly populated regions.
9. What is the primary cause of AlUla’s oasis formation?
A. The discovery of ancient farming and diets.
B. Minerals from the nearby plains.
C. A dry riverbed transporting rainwater to the valley.
D. The settlement of ancient people.
10. Why are the examples mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To analyze the limitation of oasis agriculture.
B. To prove the importance of oases.
C. To stress the effects on developing oasis agriculture.
D. To illustrate the specific threats to oases.
11. Which suggestion does the author agree with?
A. Growing single crops for higher efficiency. B. Adopting eco-friendly farming policies.
C. Relying only on government-led conservation. D. Banning using all irrigation systems.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The formation of AIUla’s oasis results from a dry riverbed that channels water from distant rain into the valley, enriching the soil with minerals from the neighboring basalt (玄武岩) plains.( AIUla绿洲的形成是由于干涸的河床将远处的雨水引入山谷,使土壤富含来自邻近玄武岩平原的矿物质。)”可知,AIUla绿洲的形成的主要原因是干涸的河床将雨水引入山谷。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段开头提到“However, these oases now face serious threats.( 然而,这些绿洲现在面临着严重的威胁。)”以及后面举例“For example, climate problems are changing rain patterns and making areas drier. Harmful farming practices and city expansion are using up water supplies, causing water levels to drop and soil to lose quality. Competition for limited resources is making social and economic gaps wider, putting oasis agriculture at risk.( 例如,气候问题正在改变降雨模式,使地区变得更加干燥。有害的耕作方式和城市扩张正在耗尽供水,导致水位下降,土壤质量下降。对有限资源的竞争正在扩大社会和经济差距,使绿洲农业面临风险。)”这些例子具体说明了气候问题、有害的农业实践、城市扩张以及对有限资源的竞争等对绿洲造成的具体威胁。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“To protect oasis agriculture, sustainable management is needed. This includes using water-saving irrigation systems, avoiding water waste, and encouraging natural farming with varied crops. It is also vital to include local communities in protecting oases, as they have valuable knowledge passed down through generations.( 为了保护绿洲农业,需要可持续的管理。这包括使用节水灌溉系统,避免水资源浪费,以及鼓励多种作物的自然种植。让当地社区参与保护绿洲也至关重要,因为他们拥有代代相传的宝贵知识。)”可知,为了保护绿洲农业,需要可持续管理,包括使用节水灌溉系统、避免水资源浪费、鼓励种植多样化作物的自然农业,并且让当地社区参与保护。由此可推知,作者可能同意的建议是“采取生态友好型农业政策”。故选B项。

Releasing tiny metal rods (金属棒) into Mars’ atmosphere could warm the planet enough to melt water and support microbial life. Scientists at the University of Chicago aim to find a way to make Mars suitable for humans to live. So it is crucial to raise its surface temperature. Some people have suggested putting mirrors above Mars’ surface or pumping methane (甲) into its atmosphere, but these ideas are difficult to apply because the raw materials required would need to be sent from Earth.
Now, Edwin Kite and his colleagues have found relatively small dust clouds made from iron or aluminium (铝) rods taken from rocks on Mars could warm the planet in a period of a few months or over a decade, depending on how quickly the particles are released. These metal rods could be carried by wind from the surface to Mars’ upper atmosphere, where they would then remain for around a decade, trapping heat from below and allowing more sunlight through.
Kite and his team modeled how the rods responded to light and then fed this information into climate simulations (模拟), which showed that the increase in temperature and pressure would be enough for parts of Mars to sustain liquid water and potentially oxygen-producing bacteria. They also found that this warming would only need the rods to be released at a rate equal to that of water flowing through about 30 garden taps, amounting to a total of 700,000 cubic metres of metal per year to achieve the required warming, or around 1 percent of Earth's metal production.
“According to our plan, we found a surprisingly small amount of engineered dust would be required, much less than the amount of engineered greenhouse gases required if you wanted the same amount of warming,” says Kite. “But it would still be challenging to dig large holes in the ground to collect iron or aluminium from Mars.”
“One uncertainty in the simulations is how the tiny rods might interact with water in Mars’ atmosphere. Water can form a group with the dust and fall back to the surface as rain, reducing the warming,” says Manoj Joshi at the University of East Anglia, UK.
12. What do the scientists at the University of Chicago try to do?
A. To make Mars habitable. B. To change Mars’ landscape.
C. To send raw materials to Mars. D. To find microbial life on Mars.
13. What can the metal rods do?
A. Help clean Mars’ atmosphere. B. Better expose Mars’ surface to the sun.
C. Collect particles from Mars’ rocks. D. Keep Mars’ upper atmosphere cold.
14. What is the difficulty of the plan according to Kite?
A. Sustaining liquid water on Mars’ surface.
B. Mining for needed metal materials on Mars.
C. Producing a large amount of water on lars.
D. Releasing engineered greenhouse gases into Mars’ atmosphere.
15. What is Manoi Joshi’s attitude towards the plan?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Serious. D. Unclear.
【答案】12 A 13. B 14. B 15. B

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But it would still be challenging to dig large holes in the ground to collect iron or aluminium from Mars.(但在地面上挖大洞从火星上收集铁或铝仍然是一项挑战)”可知,根据凯特的说法,这个计划的难度是在火星上开采所需的金属材料。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““One uncertainty in the simulations is how the tiny rods might interact with water in Mars’ atmosphere. Water can form a group with the dust and fall back to the surface as rain, reducing the warming,” says Manoj Joshi at the University of East Anglia, UK.(英国东安格利亚大学的Manoj Joshi说:‘模拟中的一个不确定因素是这些小棒如何与火星大气中的水相互作用。水可以与灰尘形成一团,并以雨的形式落回地面,从而减少变暖。’)”可知,Manoi Joshi对这个计划的态度是怀疑的。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Lillian Hopps在冰岛雷克雅未克创建的博物馆促进了冰岛人民对中国传统文化的了解,建立了两国之间的文化联系,巩固了两国的友谊。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在冰岛雷克雅未克市中心,矗立着一座由Lillian Hopps创建的博物馆,象征着冰岛和中国人民之间的友谊。本句的谓语是stands,所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语a museum和create之间是动宾关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。故填created。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:Lillian是中国文化遗产的热情崇拜者,她在20世纪90年代开始了她了解中国的旅程,当时她正深入探索中国丰富的文化。空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为a time, 表示时间,且关系词在从句中作时间状语,所以应用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意:同上。engage oneself in为固定短语,意为“使自己从事于”,此处应用反身代词herself,表示“她自己”。故填herself。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:她的热情使她的家变成了一个充满中国文物的地方,最终促使一个博物馆在雷克雅未克建立。空处应用副词修饰动词led,eventually意为“最后,终于”。故填eventually。
【40题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:该博物馆收藏了大量文物,从古代服装到当代艺术,展示了数千年的中华文明。空处作句子的谓语,句子陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语The museum为单数,谓语应用第三人称单数形式。故填houses。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:同上。from… to… 意为“从……到……”,为固定搭配。故填to。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Lillian的工作不仅仅是展示这些物品;她通过茶艺表演、书法课和传统医学讲座等高度互动的活动,让文化活跃起来,促进了冰岛人对中国丰富传统的理解。句子已有谓语brings,空处应用非谓语动词形式,promote与逻辑主语she之间为主谓关系,应用现在分词形式作状语。故填promoting。
【43题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:Lillian的博物馆每年吸引来自世界各地的数千名游客,2021年因其影响力而获得冰岛政府的认可。空处作句子的谓语。根据句中的in 2021可知,句子应用一般过去时,主语Lilian’s museum和recognize之间是动宾关系,应用被动语态,且主语为单数,be动词应用was。故填was recognized。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:Lillian凭借她的热情和专业知识,在冰岛和中国之间建立了多样化的文化联系。link意为“联系”,为可数名词,前面由diverse修饰,应用名词复数形式。故填links。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:她的博物馆不仅使两国人民更好地了解彼此,还加强了我们的关系。not just… but…意为“不仅……而且……”,为固定搭配。故填but。

Ladies and gentlemen,
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you!
【答案】Version1:
Ladies and gentlemen,
It is a great honor to share my thoughts on whether we should keep learning foreign languages in the era of artificial intelligence. In my view, my answer is definitely yes.
First, language is more than a communication tool—it is a bridge to different cultures. While AI can translate words, it struggles to convey emotions and contexts accurately. Besides, studying a foreign language strengthens problem-solving abilities and critical thinking. Furthermore, language skills offer a competitive edge in a globalized job market, which guarantees more opportunities.
For the reasons above learning foreign languages remains crucial, even in the AI era.
Thank you!
Version2:
Ladies and gentlemen,
I feel privileged to be here and share my views on this topic. While language learning has traditionally been seen as essential, we must now reconsider its necessity in the age of artificial intelligence.
For one thing, advanced translation tools, powered by AI, can now provide instant and accurate translations, breaking down language barriers effortlessly. For another, learning a new language requires a lot of time and effort, which could be spent on other valuable skills that are more relevant in today’s world.
Therefore, instead of spending years mastering a foreign language, we should embrace AI and focus on other essential skills.
Thank you!

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。
Being home alone turned out to be a lot less fun than expected for one Queensland teen, after he found a deadly eastern brown snake had slipped into his four-year-old sister’s bedroom.
It was a weekday afternoon. Ms Pallister was at work as usual. Her teenage son and four-year-old daughter were resting at home. Her son was having a sick leave from school.
When suddenly the teenager heard something special ringing in the house. It seemed that someone might secretly moved in the house. So he quietly slipped out of bed and went out of his room to check.
The slippery, uninvited house guest was a long eastern brown snake. It might come from some unnoticed hole into the house. It disappeared from the living room soon and then slid its way across the girl’s bedroom. It might be a huge children’s literary fan, knocking over multiple books from the bookshelf while inside the bedroom and stopped at the collection of pink shoes of the four-year-old’s girl, who was sleeping in the bed at that time. “Not exactly what you want to find in your baby’s room when you come home,” Ms Pallister recalled later. “It likes pink shoes. It’s quite a long snake. Besides, it has deadly poison.”
The teenager was frightened at the scene at the first sight. What could he do? It may be terrifying for his little sister and he must do something immediately. He had intended to pull it out of the house. But with the pictures of snakes, which he learnt in his field-trip study in a farm, flashing through his mind, he calmed down at the close encounter.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The teenager turned back to his bedroom quietly and texted Ms Pallister.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Spotting men with tools approaching the house, the teenager opened the door quietly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The teenager turned back to his bedroom quietly and texted Ms Pallister. He told his mom what had happened in the house and asked for professional help to deal with the snake quickly. He phoned his mother then to make sure his mother could see the text at once and rang off before his mother answered the phone. Luckily, Ms Pallister read the message and panicked at the event. She texted back to make sure the boy could stay safe and watch over her sister at the same time. She then called the professional snake handler in the community and asked for help immediately. After that, she hurried off the office and drove home at full speed.
Spotting men with tools approaching the house, the teenager opened the door quietly. He showed them in and took them to the place with no sound. The snake was caught by the net of the men and removed by a professional snake handler. At that time, the girl awoke and was hugged by her brother. Ms Pallister came back and hugged her best treasure tightly and thanked the professional men. But the men praised the teenager for his knowledge and right reaction at the emergency.
