During the summer vacation, a mother planned an exciting trip with her two children. They were set to explore a famous tourist spot, famous for its breathtaking landscapes and attractions. Little did they know that their adventure would take an unexpected turn.
As they arrived at the destination, they were greeted by a sea of people. The place was overflowing with tourists from all over the globe. Excitement filled the air as families began their sightseeing adventures, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
Eager to begin their own adventure, the mother, holding the hands of her two children, dove into the crowd. However, among the crowded army of tourists, fate had its own plans in store. In the chaos of the massive crowd, the younger son, unaware of the chaos unfolding around him, somehow managed to wander off, unknowingly leaving his family behind.
Suddenly, the mother realized that her younger child was no longer beside her. Panic seized her heart, and a sense of helplessness occupied her. She desperately called out her son's name, her voice trembling with fear. Tears streamed down her face as she scanned the vast sea of people for her son, but there was no sign of him.
In a state of despair, the mother sought assistance from fellow tourists. Compassionate minds instantly joined in the search, spreading word about the lost child throughout the area. Strangers joined in the search, their hearts filled with empathy for the anxious mother.
After three hours' search, finally, a kind-hearted tourist with a keen eye spotted a boy in a cave nearby. It was the young lost son, standing alone, tears welling up in his eyes. The news spread like wildfire, and with shouts of joy, the crowd rushed towards him.
(根据前文和所给段落开头语,续写最终男孩被找到→喜悦→母子团聚→人们为此欢呼→主题升华:人性的善良、理解和团结的力量。要求逻辑通顺,情节合理。词数80左右。)
As the mother tightly folded her son in her arms, a wave of delight washed over her.

Welcome to the Travel Destinations
Some tourist attractions around the world seem straight out of a fairy tale, attracting visitors with their breathtaking beauty and magical timeless charm.
Collar, France
It is easy to understand why this small town in the Alsace region of France is called “Little Venice”. Along its canal, perfect for a relaxing boat ride, you will find colorful buildings and stone streets. As you walk around, you may even feel like singing “Little town, it's a quiet village”.
Bibury, England
Artist William Morris thought of Bibury as the most beautiful village in England when he visited it in the 1800s, and nothing much has changed. The town still has the old-fashioned homes, and plain charm that any fairy should start in. When you live in a town like this, it is hard to be unhappy.
Bojnice Castle, Slovakia
If you had to pick a castle with princess elements (元素), this would be it. The ancient castle may have everything you've always wanted, from tall towers to a deep wide channel around. Additionally, the castle hosts various events and festivals throughout the year, making every day feel like a fairy tale coming to life.
Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany
This is a project that an ancient German king used to outshine his childhood home. In fact, Neuschwanstein Castle is actually the inspiration for the castle of a fairy princess in a famous theme park. On the top of snow-covered mountains in the winter, you can imagine it as the perfect home for the princess.

B.It is known for its stone streets.
C.It focuses on modern architecture.
D.It is the most beautiful village in Europe.

A.They are covered by snow.
B.They include princess elements.
C.They are located in the same country.
D.They have tall towers and wide channels.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据Bojnice Castle, Slovakia中“If you had to pick a castle with princess elements (元素), this would be it.”以及Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany中“In fact, Neuschwanstein Castle is actually the inspiration for the castle of a fairy princess in a famous theme park.”可知,波尼斯城堡和新天鹅城堡的共同之处是都包含公主元素。

Perhaps my favorite place during my trip to Guangxi was the Longji Rice Terraces(梯田)in Longsheng. I've seen rice terraces elsewhere in Asia, but nothing compared with the beauty of the Longji Rice Terraces. To go to Guangxi and skip these rice terraces would be a loss.
These over 600-year-old terraces are still very much in use and feed the local Yao and Zhuang communities; you can find many guesthouses throughout the various rice terraces, and while accommodations are very basic, I would strongly suggest spending a night in the peaceful terraces, surrounded by nothing but rice.
My friends and I had arrived in Guangxi on harvest day and we were told by our local guide it was too late to see Longji in its autumnal beauty. But we were super lucky because the harvest had been put off, and when we arrived in Longsheng a couple of days later, it was the last day before the harvest began. It's quite risky to time your visit this way, but it is amazing to see the Longji Rice Terraces both before harvest and after, when it takes on a completely new character.
The two main terraced areas are the Ping'an Terraced Fields and the Jinkeng Terraced Fields. The former is home to the local Zhuang people and has more visitors as it's easier to reach. Jinkeng, on the other hand, is less visited. The Red Yao people live here, and should you need a hand with your suitcase, their women are happy to help you. We chose Jinkeng because it's home to the highest point of the Longji Rice Terraces. The viewpoint is nearly 4,000 feet high. We had to go up there as our hotel was up there, but you should anyway as it's the most wonderful viewpoint.
The Longji Rice Terraces are supposed to be beautiful in the spring and summer as well, though I much prefer its autumnal beauty. Winter, I'd skip, as it was already cold enough at night in October, but I'd return and visit again in the spring or summer.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了去广西龙脊梯田参观的经历和体会。
4.What is the author's advice for people visiting the Longji Rice Terraces?
A.Staying a night at a guesthouse among the terraces.

The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad.There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.
There are so many sights to see here.It is a pity to drive a car and you'll miss a great part of it.Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when you move slowly and go into the areas where they live.
When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before.It is a quieter way of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture.When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand.It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions.There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size.These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste.If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), it is your chance now, because they have those too.
The bicycle hire on the Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once.This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.

In the South Atlantic Ocean, there is an island called Tristan da Cunha, which is a six-day boat ride from the nearest town Cape Town in South Africa. There's no airport on Tristan. Every month or so, a boat will bring visitors but not many. The boat will also bring mail and supplies. You can only see about 270 people, 300 cows, 500 sheep, and a whole lot of penguins there.
The British tried to build a military base there in 1816. They gave up after a year. But a soldier and his family took a few people into staying. Those people slowly built a community. Few trees grow on the island. So they found wood that washed ashore. They used it to build homes and boats. For food, they raised cows, sheep and pigs. They fished and planted potatoes. They promised to share everything they had. Sometimes ships brought supplies to Tristan. But for many years, no one there used money. Instead, people on the island traded potatoes for supplies. It cost five potatoes to send a piece of mail.
Today, nearly everyone on Tristan is a farmer. The island's main industry is fishing. It has a single factory that cans fish.
Several times, bad luck has nearly destroyed the town on Tristan. In 1885, men died in a boat accident. That left 13 women and only 4 adult men on the island. Still, everyone stayed. In 1961, a bigger disaster stuck. The town was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. All 290 people on the island moved to England. But soon, nearly all of them moved back to the island and rebuilt their town.
What's so special about life on this lonely island? For islanders like Harold Green, that's an easy question to answer. Green has lived on Tristan his whole life. He left when the volcano erupted. But England was too loud and too crowded for him. He came back because the island is peaceful.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了南大西洋上的一座叫Tristan da Cunha的小岛,介绍了岛上的基本情况,以及居民的生活经历等。

A.A deadly boat accident.
B.A terrible natural disaster.
C.The attraction of modern life.
D.The building of a British military base.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 1961 ...island moved to England.”可知,一次可怕的自然灾害使Tristan上的岛民在1961年搬到了英国。
14.How does Harold Green feel about his life on Tristan?
A.Bored. B.Hopeful.
C.Satisfied. D.Regretful.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知,Harold Green对岛上的生活是满意的。
15.What does the text mainly introduce?

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了中国的“丝绸之路”,并为新老游客提出了一些游览建议。
36.be seen 考查语态。relics与see之间是被动关系,且can后跟动词原形。故填be seen。
37.the 考查定冠词。此处特指“丝绸之路”这条路,应该用定冠词表示特指。故填the。
38.themselves 考查反身代词。动作的发出者tourists和动作的承受者(宾语)相同,故宾语用反身代词。故填themselves。
39.which 考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词a long route,先行词在从句中作主语,指物,故用关系代词which引导。
40.strongly 考查副词。此处修饰动词recommend应用副词strongly,作状语。故填strongly。
41.and 考查连词。根据语境可知,上下文为并列关系,应用连词and。
42.experienced 考查形容词。修饰后文名词traveler应用形容词experienced,作定语。故填experienced。
43.choice 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,空格处是句子的主语,且前面有定冠词the修饰,故空格处填名词,此处为特指,用单数形式。故填choice。
44.suitable 考查形容词。此处作表语,应用形容词suitable。
45.to visit 考查非谓语动词。此处为短语the best time to do sth.表示“做某事的最好时间”,用不定式作后置定语。故填to visit。

An Act of Neighborliness
The skies were dark. A strong wind was blowing hard, cutting my face like a sharp knife. Rain fell in big drops and thunder and lightning flashed across the skies. I shook with cold and fear as I walked home, through the streams of muddy water. Some people were rushing by, completely wet in the heavy rain.
Along the way, I saw some schoolchildren holding their heavy schoolbags tightly and rushing home. I also saw that some road repair work had been abandoned by workers. Obviously, the workers had left in a hurry because of the storm. There were few signs and it was hard to see what was on the road. There were pieces of wood and metal and it looked like a hole had been dug and hurriedly covered with boards.
I moved on but suddenly stopped as I heard some sounds. It sounded like children crying. I quickly turned back and went back to the place from where the sounds came. I was frightened! To my sadness, I found that two small children had fallen into the hole on the road. The boards had moved away with the force of the rushing water. I could hardly see the children as it was dark all around me. I told them that I was going to look for help. I knew the neighbors well, and they all shared a sense of neighborliness, willing to give a hand.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
I rushed to the nearest house, Mr Lee's, and told him about the problem.
Hearing of what had happened, the children's parents were in relief.
参考范文:
I rushed to the nearest house, Mr Lee's, and told him about the problem. He readily said that he would get a torch and some ropes. He also called his good friends to come along with him. A few other neighbors also quickly joined the rescue party and together went to the road. They managed to get the children out of the watery hole safely. The children were scared silly and they shook all over with cold, daring not to make a movement.Suddenly, someone recognised the children, and called their parents. Before long, the parents were in a hurry to come.
Hearing of what had happened, the children's parents were in relief. They were very grateful to the neighbors who had helped to rescue the children and thanked them repeatedly. A flood of happiness welled up in me because I had been part of this act of neighborliness. It was a wonderful moment, one I would never forget. The neighbors had been great. They had helped people in need without hesitation. Bathed in much warmth, I headed for home.

语段1 自然描写之美丽星空
I had forgotten how beautiful the night sky could be. Instead of being black, it was blue and millions of stars seemed to twinkle with happiness. Though it was the middle of winter, I felt the warmth around me. Seeing this great creation of the universe was like being wrapped in a blanket of love. It was so perfectly peaceful. Having all the lights of the night sky shining above me, I could see my own inner light shining as well.
我已经忘记了夜空会有多美。它不是黑色的,而是蓝色的,数百万颗星星似乎闪烁着幸福的光芒。虽然是隆冬,但我感到了周围的温暖。看到这个宇宙的伟大创造,就像被爱的毯子包裹着。它如此宁静。夜空的光亮在我的头顶上闪烁,我也能看到自己内心的光芒在闪烁。

Hi Amy,
We made it! My family and I have managed to cross the North American continent, from western to eastern Canada, in two weeks! I can't wait to share the stories with you.
We started from Vancouver, .It took us where we wanted, when we wanted.Dad did the driving but he has a poor sense of direction.We got lost a few times even with the help of GPS, but eventually we managed to cross the Rocky Mountains.I was hoping to see a bear or even an eagle, but all I saw was a small group of deer. The views were fantastic, though.There were forests, mountains with snowy tops and masses of ice.It's like another world.
We reached Quebec on the eighth day, where most people speak French. Well, actually, they speak Quebecois, . The funniest thing happened on that day.I'd He was driving, so I answered it.Guess who it was? Mum! How did that happen? Well, while I was sleeping, Dad stopped for some petrol and Mum also got out to take photos, and you can guess the rest ...She was so mad! To cheer her up, we went to a typical Quebec restaurant for lunch.We had the famous “poutine”, which is a dish of French fries, fresh cheese and a hot brown sauce called “gravy”. It's usually followed by pancakes with maple syrup — delicious!
So, we're now in Newfoundland, the very eastern part of Canada and the end of our journey.To celebrate, we went on a boat trip yesterday.Mum was using Dad's phone to take photos of the colourful little houses along the coast when we saw something amazing — a killer whale!Mum was so This time it was Dad's turn to get mad! Anyway, another family from Quebec was also on the boat and they got some great photos of the whale.They're going to send them to us when they get back home.What's more, their son's the same age as me.He's so cool! We're going to keep in touch, so I now have someone to practise French with!

嗨,埃米:
我们成功了!我和我的家人用了两周的时间,从加拿大西海岸到东海岸,成功横穿了北美大陆!我已经迫不及待地想和你分享这次旅行的故事了。
我们从温哥华出发,在那里取到了这次旅行的交通工具——一辆房车。它可以随时带我们去想去的任何地方。爸爸负责开车,但他的方向感太差。有好几次即使用了导航,我们还是迷路了。但最终我们成功穿越了落基山脉。我本来盼着能看到一只熊甚至是一只老鹰,结果却只看到了一小群鹿。不过沿途的风景还是非常美的。我们看到了森林,看到了白雪皑皑的群山,以及大片的冰原,仿佛是到了另一个世界。
我们在第八天到达了魁北克,那儿的人大多说法语。不过确切来说,他们说的是魁北克语,一种加拿大法语。那天发生了这一路上最搞笑的事。我当时正在睡觉,忽然听到爸爸的手机响了。他在开车,所以我接了电话。猜猜是谁打来的?是妈妈!直到那时我才意识到她的座位是空的!这是怎么回事?原来,在我睡着那会儿,爸爸停车加油,妈妈也下车去拍照,后来的事你应该能猜到了……妈妈简直气坏了!为了哄她开心,我们去了一家地道的魁北克餐厅吃午饭。我们点了有名的“肉汁奶酪薯条”,这是一道由炸薯条、新鲜奶酪和一种叫作“肉汁”的褐色热酱汁做成的菜。吃完这道菜,通常要吃配枫糖浆的薄饼——味道好极了!
我们现在位于本次旅行的终点站——加拿大最东部的纽芬兰省。为了庆祝,我们昨天乘船出海。正当妈妈用爸爸的手机拍摄海岸上五颜六色的小房子时,我们看到了令人惊喜的一幕——一只虎鲸!妈妈太兴奋了,结果把手机掉进了海里。这下轮到爸爸生气了!不过,来自魁北克的另外一家人当时也在船上,他们拍到了一些很棒的虎鲸的照片。他们回家后会把照片寄给我们。而且,他们的儿子和我一样大。他非常酷!我们会保持联系。所以,现在有人陪我练习法语了!

My parents and I had just driven down the narrow mountain road from Marrakesh, with all its sharp bends, and had finally arrived at Merzouga.Before us stretched the unending sand dunes that marked A small boy walked past with a group of noisy goats as I took a long look at the yellow roadside sign that told us we were entering a “fragile natural environment”.I made a resolution to respect and protect this unique landscape while I was here.We set off, our vehicle quietly running over the sand and small stones.It wasn't long before we were surrounded by enormous sand dunes towering above us on all sides. The wind was blowing grains of sand from the tops of the dunes, the sun was beating down hard and bright, and the sky was a deep shade of blue that I had never seen before. The wild beauty of the desert was about to reveal itself.There was not a plant to be seen.The desert appeared completely empty, which was calming and threatening at the same time.The colours of the dunes contrasted strikingly with the blue of the cloudless sky.
Eventually, as the last rays of sunlight were falling on the sand, we arrived at our desert camp.Stars were already shining brightly in the darkening sky and it was getting cold with the approach of the night.Three camels, slowly chewing, were resting on their knees and watching our arrival with interest.“So, which one of you lucky animals will be my ride tomorrow?” I said out loud as I grabbed my bag and headed towards the warm campfire.I was starving and rushed to put a steak on the barbecue.
3 July, Kenya
A few days after our departure from the camp, our car was well and truly stuck in the mud.We were very near to our rest camp in Amboseli National Park located on the border of Kenya when my father, against my mother's advice, decided to drive through a large pool of water that stretched across the dirt road.Two tall slim local people were standing by the roadside watching us with amusement.They must have realized that we were totally helpless, for after a few moments, they My father smiled weakly and we drove on as my mother and I waved from the car window.
We found a parking space next to our hut, which was round and made from brick.The walls, painted brilliant white, reflected the afternoon sun.There were five similar huts, all lined up facing Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.The mountain rose up over the plains before us.Tall grasses and trees dotted the plains, which were alive with the African wildlife we had come to see.Giraffes, with their long necks, were pulling leaves from the highest branches.In the distance, elephants were eating grass, ears flapping lazily as they moved slowly over the plains.I had never seen anything like this before.It was indeed the greatest show on the Earth.
We got out of the car, carrying our suitcases and boxes of food into the hut.I placed ham sandwiches, sausages and a bunch of bananas on a small wooden table.I returned to the car and fetched more possessions.It was then that I noticed a small grey monkey sitting on a tree a few metres “So cute,” I thought to myself, was eating! He was looking at me intently as he enjoyed the final mouthful.I was sure he was saying, “Thank you.” “You're welcome,” I replied.
[难句破解] 句① 本句是介词短语Before us放在句首引起的倒装句;that引导的定语从句修饰the unending sand dunes。
句② that引导宾语从句,for引导原因状语从句。主句谓语must have realized表示对过去发生的事情较为肯定的推测。
句③ 这是一个强调句,强调的是时间状语then,其中两个现在分词短语sitting on ...和eating a banana都作宾语补足语。
句④ until引导时间状语从句,其中realize后接的省略that的宾语从句中又使用了强调句型,对从句的宾语my banana进行强调。

6月30日,摩洛哥
我和父母开车从马拉喀什出发,沿着狭窄的山路一路急转弯,终于到达了梅尔祖卡。在我们面前绵延不绝的沙丘标志着撒哈拉沙漠的开始。一个小男孩和一群嘈杂的山羊从我身边走过,我盯着路边的黄色指示牌看了很久,上面写着我们正在进入一个“脆弱的自然环境”。在这里逗留的期间,我下定决心要尊重和保护这片独特的景色。我们的车出发了,静静地行驶在砂砾之上。很快我们就被四周高耸的巨大沙丘包围住。风吹动着沙丘顶上的沙粒,阳光猛烈而耀眼地照射着,天空是我以前从未见过的深蓝色。沙漠的野性之美即将展现出来。视野内看不到一株植物。沙漠看上去一片空旷,平静而又危机四伏。沙丘的颜色与无云的蓝色天空形成鲜明的对比。
终于,当最后一缕阳光洒在沙滩上时,我们到达了沙漠营地。星星已经在暗下来的天空中闪耀,随着夜幕的降临,天气越来越冷。三只骆驼跪在地上,慢慢地咀嚼着,饶有兴趣地看着我们的到来。“那么,你们这些幸运的家伙,明天哪一个会是我的坐骑?”我大声说着,抓起我的包朝温暖的篝火走去。我饿极了,急匆匆地把一块牛排放在烤肉架上。
7月3日,肯尼亚
离开营地的几天后,我们的车完全陷进了泥里。我们离肯尼亚边境的安博塞利国家公园的休息营地非常近,当时父亲不听母亲的劝告,决定开车穿过一个横跨土路的大水池。两个又高又瘦的当地人站在路边,饶有兴趣地看着我们。他们一定意识到我们相当无助,因为过了一会儿,他们走过来把我们推了出来。父亲虚弱地笑了笑,我们继续前行,我和母亲从车窗向他们挥手致意。
我们在小屋旁边找到了一个停车位,小屋是圆形的,用砖砌成。墙壁漆成明亮的白色,反射着午后的阳光。有五间类似的小屋,都排成一排,面向非洲的最高山脉——乞力马扎罗山。这座山在我们面前的平原上拔地而起。高高的草丛和树林点缀着平原,平原上活动着我们前来观赏的非洲野生动物。长颈鹿们正用它们长长的脖子从最高的树枝上拔下树叶。远处,大象正在吃草,耳朵懒洋洋地拍打着,缓缓地在平原上移动。我以前从未见过类似的景象。这确实是地球上最棒的表演。
我们下了车,提着箱子和一盒盒食物进了小屋。我把火腿三明治、香肠和一串香蕉放在一张小木桌上。我回到车上,又拿了些物品。就在这时,我注意到一只灰色的小猴子坐在几米开外的树上吃香蕉。“太可爱了,”我心想,然后我意识到他吃的是我的香蕉!他专注地看着我,享受着最后一口。我确信他在说:“谢谢你。”“不客气,”我回答。
