A woman has recalled her childhood spent “trapped” on a boat with her parents, detailing how she made her “escape”.
While her parents thought it was the trip of a lifetime and often described the opportunity as a “privilege”, Suzanne has since compared it to being locked up in prison.
Now 55 years old, Suzanne has shared her tale of survival on the Internet, and recalled her 10 years at sea in her tell-all memoir Wavewalker. Despite her father assuring her the “trip would be safe”, Suzanne claimed it was “incredibly dangerous”, sharing details of a dangerous journey from South Africa to Australia where the boat hit an “enormous storm”. “The waves became bigger and bigger, and finally one crashed over the back of the boat,” she recalled. “I was thrown, a little girl at 7, against the ceiling of the cabin and against the wall, breaking my skull and nose. Three days later, we found a tiny little island in the middle of the Indian Ocean where I had multiple head operations without anaesthetic (麻醉剂).”
In order to get through her “very strange” childhood, Suzanne recalled how she determined to get an education to live a normal life. While remote education wasn’t an option in 1969, Suzanne enrolled in an Australian correspondence school when she was 13. Then, when she was 16, and her brother 15, her parents enrolled the two teenagers in a school in New Zealand while they continued sailing. Despite the gaps in her education, Suzanne landed a spot at Oxford University, and after saving up money she’d earned working on a farm, Suzanne bought a one-way plane ticket back to the UK.
Since going public with her story, which she was inspired to do after the death of her husband in 2018, Suzanne’s book instantly became a bestseller. Suzanne’s extraordinary tale has captured the hearts of millions. “Wavewalker is one of the best books I’ve read. I’m so sorry you went through all that,” one person replied, while another said, “Thank you for the this! Your story inspires me and I can change my life no matter when and how.”
4. How does Suzanne find the ten-year journey at sea?
A. Amusing and rewarding. B. Eventful and risky.
C. Private and Plain. D. Inspiring and comforting.
5 Why did Suzanne decide to get an education?
A. To get her life back on track. B. To earn enough money.
C. To adapt to her strange childhood. D. To prove her parents wrong.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Suzanne’s book is well received.
B. Suzanne’s book gets divided opinions.
C. Suzanne’s book highlights adventurous spirits.
D. Suzanne’s husband inspires her to write the book.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A Dangerous Journey Shapes a Brave Woman.
B. A Success Story Inspires More People to Follow.
C. A Best-seller Describes an Unforgettable Journey at Sea.
D. A Woman Trapped on a Boat for a Decade Details “Escape”.
C
Historically, bat migration (迁徙) has been a bit of a black box. “They’re fast and they move at night,” says Edward Hurme, a biologist at the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior in Germany. “Once they disappear from an area, we don’t necessarily have the ability to figure out where they show up again.” Bats are also smaller than many migrating birds, meaning they are unable to tolerate the weight of the sort of tracking devices that researchers attach to birds for monitoring purposes.
So Hurme and his colleagues had to design one. They created specialized devices weighing just over a gram that measure how the animal is moving, as well as temperature. Unlike some other devices, which measure animal movements but must be recovered by scientists to download the data, these new ones broadcast their information to a wireless network. That allows the researchers to work out their position and follow the bats’ journey.
In total, the team equipped 71 female bats with these sensors. When the researchers paired their tracking data with climate data, they noticed a curious connection. “We found that a lot of bats are actually migrating before storms come through,” says Hurme. In the spring, storms typically follow warm fronts that generate strong winds that usually blow in the right direction for migration.
Long-distance migration can take a lot of energy, but these bats have found some assistance. They time their springtime departure to happen at the same time as warm fronts that lead storms. These winds tend to blow in the general northeasterly direction of the bat migration this time of year, giving the bats — which weigh about an ounce — a significant lift. “We noted that bats were responding to good wind conditions, but we didn’t think that there was a connection with storms,” Hurme says. The researchers have yet to find out what signals the bats are using to time their departures.
More broadly, it is within Hurme’s vision that an increasing number of research groups begin using the tiny bat tags on other bat species. Ultimately, that sort of work could contribute to the conservation of bats. By understanding when and where they migrate, researchers could construct bat migration forecasts, which could help energy companies shut down turbines (涡轮机) during the bats’ migratory periods, or avoid building in certain areas altogether, he says.
8 Why has bat migration been a bit of a black box?
A. Bats are too small to be detected. B. Bats’ movement is hard to monitor.
C. Bats fly at high speed in packs. D. Bats’ bodies are too delicate for devices.
9. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. The urgency of innovation. B. The features of the new trackers.
C. The complexity of the particular design. D. The improvement of tracking devices.
10. Why do bats begin their migration prior to the arrival of storms?
A. To find the appropriate route. B. To migrate against the winds.
C. To lower energy consumption. D. To avoid the disastrous storms.
11. What’s Hurme’s anticipation?
A. Broader participation in bat research. B. Close cooperation from all fields.
C. Wide application of the new devices. D. Enhancing awareness of bat conservation.
D
A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than, say, history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with. After all, “Was Henry VIII a good king?” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates. But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom nonplussed and the lecture theatre unimpressed. Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible, yet hard enough to be satisfying, is a big headache in itself.
Partly for this reason, books that successfully communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field, are both valuable and rare. Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk.
If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine (疫苗), is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful? How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill? Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem, a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths.
Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand.
12. What does the underlined word “nonplussed” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Impressed. B. Inspired.
C. Confused. D. Amused.
13. What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author?
A. It casts light on math thoughts.
B. It covers various topics.
C. It makes sense to ordinary people.
D. It satisfies maths professionals.
14. Why does the author mention Bayes’s theorem in paragraph 3?
A. To prove the reliability of intuition.
B. To reveal the book’s academic nature.
C. To underline the deep truth of judgement.
D. To demonstrate Spiegelhalter’s writing approach.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A master of math teaching.
B. A book on intuitive assumptions.
C. A discussion of risk management.
D. A guide to understanding probability.
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。
Wildlife documentaries are known for offering breathtaking images of animals in their natural habitats. You might be thinking that these shows offer a totally real portrayal of these animals — an objective window into their lives as they hunt, rest and raise their young. ____16____ While the images we see are filmed on location, many of the sounds are recorded in a sound studio and added to the programs later by human “Foley artists (拟音师)”.
This is an unavoidable outcome of modern wildlife filmmaking. Usually, documentary filmmakers can film their subjects from a great distance, but they typically can’t get close enough to capture clear sounds without disturbing the animals. Wildlife documentaries also tend to require large crews. ____17____ For example, crew members chatting or walking around can be included if sounds are recorded on location. In other cases, the animals might make sounds of a frequency or volume that most microphones simply can’t capture clearly.
____18____ And most of them will create the close-up sounds of animals chewing or yawning with their own mouths. These sounds are created as the artist watches the videos, making sure they perfectly match the actions they’re paired with. ____19____ Animal cries — which are far too complex to be simulated — will have to be taken from library recordings.
Watching “Foley artists” at work on wildlife projects gives me a thrill like the one we get when we see how a magic trick is done. Admittedly, the significance of the technique goes further. ____20____ Sounds have the ability to affect our understanding of a given species.
A. But this isn’t quite the case.
B. There are some exceptions, though.
C. The filmmakers can achieve the effects.
D There will probably be background noises.
E. Sounds guide our emotional interpretation of the things we see.
F. How it is introduced in documentaries may also make a difference.
G. “Foley artists” will use a variety of tools to simulate (模拟) the sounds made by animals.

One typical day, I was driving my Uber as usual. In the backseat sat two teen boys, fascinated by their phones. I could hear every word each phone____21____. Neither passenger appeared to be ____22____ by the competing content of the other’s, but I could ____23____ hear the navigation’s directions.
I asked, “Excuse me, do you have ____24____?” “No...” “OK, could you turn down the volume? I just can’t hear the driving directions.”
Both of them turned down the volume as I ____25____. In fact, I often encounter similar situations on the subway, in airports, and in the back of my car. They play digital content — ____26____ only for their own viewing or listening — loudly, ____27____ everyone within close range to put up with the ____28____. Undoubtedly, there is a simple solution to this rude behavior: wearing headphones. From my perspective, the key is not a pair of headphones that anyone can get, but regaining the politeness and ____29____we ought to have.
Because cellphones have become widespread so quickly in modern life and self-awareness is praised by everyone like common knowledge in a _____30_____, the resulting issue of public interests, which is affected by such behavior, is often _____31_____. Even so, I still believe that we only need to _____32_____ how and when we use our phones to make necessary _____33_____. This is merely a matter of awareness, not something unavoidable.
Decades ago, smoking in public did not cause _____34_____ the way it does when such behavior happens today. Similarly, we will definitely see the day when everyone feels embarrassed about making noise themselves — or their phones making noise — in public. That day will_____35_____ come.

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。
Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still be wonderful in their own way. My parents and I had spent a long time researching summer camps online and finally we picked out one where I could design games, animate (把……制作成动画) characters, and learn other cool coding (编程) skills.
Mom said, “I like the idea of you using that clever brain of yours more, but I also hope you can get plenty of fresh air.” “Campers can choose to hike every afternoon!” I said as I clicked on the registration form.
Weeks later, my parents dropped me off at the camp, which I thought would be a week full of non-stop computer-coding fun. When I arrived at the check-in table, I met a camper of my age named Halley — he was wearing an adorable sunhat. He greeted me, “We’re in the same group — Group 7!” Led by an advisor, we followed the green arrows to the campsite.
On the way, I was surprised to find it was very cool there, filled with the fresh, woodsy smell. Halley and I talked about our expectations for the camp activities. He excitedly mentioned the small animals he loved to observe and something about watching the night sky.
“You’ve given me a great idea!” I said. “I’ll base the animated characters I design on the animals you mentioned!” Halley asked, “I’m a bit confused — what exactly are these characters you’re talking about?”
“You know, the characters we’ll be designing and animating on computers this week!” I said. “Uh, sorry, I still don’t get it,” Halley said. “Why would we do computer stuff at a Nature Camp?”
It was then that I realized there must have been a mistake — I must have accidentally clicked on the wrong online form when registering! I rushed back to the welcome table right away to see if I could switch to Tech Camp, but obviously, it was already completely full.
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。
Para.1: When I met Halley again, I forced a smile.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2: “Okay, I’ll give it a try!” I said as I looked at Halley.

A woman has recalled her childhood spent “trapped” on a boat with her parents, detailing how she made her “escape”.
While her parents thought it was the trip of a lifetime and often described the opportunity as a “privilege”, Suzanne has since compared it to being locked up in prison.
Now 55 years old, Suzanne has shared her tale of survival on the Internet, and recalled her 10 years at sea in her tell-all memoir Wavewalker. Despite her father assuring her the “trip would be safe”, Suzanne claimed it was “incredibly dangerous”, sharing details of a dangerous journey from South Africa to Australia where the boat hit an “enormous storm”. “The waves became bigger and bigger, and finally one crashed over the back of the boat,” she recalled. “I was thrown, a little girl at 7, against the ceiling of the cabin and against the wall, breaking my skull and nose. Three days later, we found a tiny little island in the middle of the Indian Ocean where I had multiple head operations without anaesthetic (麻醉剂).”
In order to get through her “very strange” childhood, Suzanne recalled how she determined to get an education to live a normal life. While remote education wasn’t an option in 1969, Suzanne enrolled in an Australian correspondence school when she was 13. Then, when she was 16, and her brother 15, her parents enrolled the two teenagers in a school in New Zealand while they continued sailing. Despite the gaps in her education, Suzanne landed a spot at Oxford University, and after saving up money she’d earned working on a farm, Suzanne bought a one-way plane ticket back to the UK.
Since going public with her story, which she was inspired to do after the death of her husband in 2018, Suzanne’s book instantly became a bestseller. Suzanne’s extraordinary tale has captured the hearts of millions. “Wavewalker is one of the best books I’ve read. I’m so sorry you went through all that,” one person replied, while another said, “Thank you for the this! Your story inspires me and I can change my life no matter when and how.”
4. How does Suzanne find the ten-year journey at sea?
A. Amusing and rewarding. B. Eventful and risky.
C. Private and Plain. D. Inspiring and comforting.
5. Why did Suzanne decide to get an education?
A. To get her life back on track. B. To earn enough money.
C. To adapt to her strange childhood. D. To prove her parents wrong.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Suzanne’s book is well received.
B. Suzanne’s book gets divided opinions.
C. Suzanne’s book highlights adventurous spirits.
D. Suzanne’s husband inspires her to write the book.

Historically, bat migration (迁徙) has been a bit of a black box. “They’re fast and they move at night,” says Edward Hurme, a biologist at the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior in Germany. “Once they disappear from an area, we don’t necessarily have the ability to figure out where they show up again.” Bats are also smaller than many migrating birds, meaning they are unable to tolerate the weight of the sort of tracking devices that researchers attach to birds for monitoring purposes.
So Hurme and his colleagues had to design one. They created specialized devices weighing just over a gram that measure how the animal is moving, as well as temperature. Unlike some other devices, which measure animal movements but must be recovered by scientists to download the data, these new ones broadcast their information to a wireless network. That allows the researchers to work out their position and follow the bats’ journey.
In total, the team equipped 71 female bats with these sensors. When the researchers paired their tracking data with climate data, they noticed a curious connection. “We found that a lot of bats are actually migrating before storms come through,” says Hurme. In the spring, storms typically follow warm fronts that generate strong winds that usually blow in the right direction for migration.
Long-distance migration can take a lot of energy, but these bats have found some assistance. They time their springtime departure to happen at the same time as warm fronts that lead storms. These winds tend to blow in the general northeasterly direction of the bat migration this time of year, giving the bats — which weigh about an ounce — a significant lift. “We noted that bats were responding to good wind conditions, but we didn’t think that there was a connection with storms,” Hurme says. The researchers have yet to find out what signals the bats are using to time their departures.
More broadly, it is within Hurme’s vision that an increasing number of research groups begin using the tiny bat tags on other bat species. Ultimately, that sort of work could contribute to the conservation of bats. By understanding when and where they migrate, researchers could construct bat migration forecasts, which could help energy companies shut down turbines (涡轮机) during the bats’ migratory periods, or avoid building in certain areas altogether, he says.
8. Why has bat migration been a bit of a black box?
A. Bats are too small to be detected. B. Bats’ movement is hard to monitor.
C. Bats fly at high speed in packs. D. Bats’ bodies are too delicate for devices.
9. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. The urgency of innovation. B. The features of the new trackers.
C. The complexity of the particular design. D. The improvement of tracking devices.
10. Why do bats begin their migration prior to the arrival of storms?
A. To find the appropriate route. B. To migrate against the winds.
C. To lower energy consumption. D. To avoid the disastrous storms.
11. What’s Hurme’s anticipation?
A. Broader participation in bat research. B. Close cooperation from all fields.
C. Wide application of the new devices. D. Enhancing awareness of bat conservation.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家如何研究蝙蝠的迁徙行为,包括他们面临的挑战、采用的新技术以及所取得的发现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段““They’re fast and they move at night,” says Edward Hurme, a biologist at the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior in Germany. “Once they disappear from an area, we don’t necessarily have the ability to figure out where they show up again.” Bats are also smaller than many migrating birds, meaning they are unable to tolerate the weight of the sort of tracking devices that researchers attach to birds for monitoring purposes. (“它们飞行速度快,而且在夜间活动,”德国马克斯・普朗克动物行为研究所的生物学家Edward Hurme说,“一旦它们从某个区域消失,我们往往无法确定它们再次出现的位置。”蝙蝠也比许多迁徙鸟类体型更小,这意味着它们无法承受研究人员为监测鸟类而安装的那种追踪设备的重量。)”可知,蝙蝠迁徙之所以神秘是因为蝙蝠夜间活动且速度快,难以追踪其去向;并且蝙蝠体型比迁徙鸟类小,无法承受传统追踪设备的重量,导致监测手段有限。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“They created specialized devices weighing just over a gram that measure how the animal is moving, as well as temperature. Unlike some other devices, which measure animal movements but must be recovered by scientists to download the data, these new ones broadcast their information to a wireless network. (他们研发了一种重量仅略超一克的专用装置,可以测量蝙蝠的运动状态和体温。与其他一些虽能测量动物运动但必须由科学家回收才能下载数据的设备不同,这些新装置会将信息传输到无线网络。)”可知,第二段主要介绍新型追踪设备的重量、功能及数据传输方式等特点。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Long-distance migration can take a lot of energy, but these bats have found some assistance. They time their springtime departure to happen at the same time as warm fronts that lead storms. These winds tend to blow in the general northeasterly direction of the bat migration this time of year, giving the bats — which weigh about an ounce — a significant lift. (长途迁徙需要消耗大量能量,但这些蝙蝠找到了一些助力。它们将春季出发的时间与引发风暴的暖锋同步。这些风通常会朝每年此时蝙蝠迁徙的东北方向吹拂,为这些体重约一盎司的蝙蝠提供显著的升力。)”可知,蝙蝠在风暴前迁徙是为了利用暖锋带来的有利风向,借助风力节省能量,降低迁徙的能量消耗。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“More broadly, it is within Hurme’s vision that an increasing number of research groups begin using the tiny bat tags on other bat species. (从更广泛的角度来看,Hurme希望越来越多的研究团队开始将这种微型蝙蝠追踪器应用于其他蝙蝠物种。)”可知,Hurme期望更多研究团队将新型追踪设备应用于其他蝙蝠物种,即推广新设备的广泛应用。故选C。
D
A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than, say, history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with. After all, “Was Henry VIII a good king?” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates. But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom nonplussed and the lecture theatre unimpressed. Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible, yet hard enough to be satisfying, is a big headache in itself.
Partly for this reason, books that successfully communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field, are both valuable and rare. Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk.
If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine (疫苗), is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful? How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill? Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem, a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths.
Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand.
12. What does the underlined word “nonplussed” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Impressed. B. Inspired.
C. Confused. D. Amused.
13. What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author?
A. It casts light on math thoughts.
B. It covers various topics.
C. It makes sense to ordinary people.
D. It satisfies maths professionals.
14. Why does the author mention Bayes’s theorem in paragraph 3?
A. To prove the reliability of intuition.
B. To reveal the book’s academic nature.
C. To underline the deep truth of judgement.
D. To demonstrate Spiegelhalter’s writing approach.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A master of math teaching.
B. A book on intuitive assumptions.
C. A discussion of risk management.
D. A guide to understanding probability.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. D

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。
Wildlife documentaries are known for offering breathtaking images of animals in their natural habitats. You might be thinking that these shows offer a totally real portrayal of these animals — an objective window into their lives as they hunt, rest and raise their young. ____16____ While the images we see are filmed on location, many of the sounds are recorded in a sound studio and added to the programs later by human “Foley artists (拟音师)”.
This is an unavoidable outcome of modern wildlife filmmaking. Usually, documentary filmmakers can film their subjects from a great distance, but they typically can’t get close enough to capture clear sounds without disturbing the animals. Wildlife documentaries also tend to require large crews. ____17____ For example, crew members chatting or walking around can be included if sounds are recorded on location. In other cases, the animals might make sounds of a frequency or volume that most microphones simply can’t capture clearly.
____18____ And most of them will create the close-up sounds of animals chewing or yawning with their own mouths. These sounds are created as the artist watches the videos, making sure they perfectly match the actions they’re paired with. ____19____ Animal cries — which are far too complex to be simulated — will have to be taken from library recordings.
Watching “Foley artists” at work on wildlife projects gives me a thrill like the one we get when we see how a magic trick is done. Admittedly, the significance of the technique goes further. ____20____ Sounds have the ability to affect our understanding of a given species.
A. But this isn’t quite the case.
B. There are some exceptions though.
C. The filmmakers can achieve the effects.
D. There will probably be background noises.
E. Sounds guide our emotional interpretation of the things we see.
F. How it is introduced in documentaries may also make a difference.
G. “Foley artists” will use a variety of tools to simulate (模拟) the sounds made by animals.

【答案】Dear Peter,
Thank you so much for sharing your video with me. I’m delighted to know your participation in the Chinese Poetry Recitation Competition.
After watching your video, I’ve identified a couple of areas you could improve. There are some tone errors in the pronunciation of Chinese characters. Mandarin is known for its four distinct tones, each conveying a different meaning. Therefore, mastering them is crucial for accurate understanding. Besides, I’ve noticed problems with the pauses, which may result from a misunderstanding of a poem’s meaning. To solve these problems, I highly recommend that you thoroughly understand the meaning of the poem before your next practice. Additionally, listening to native speakers reciting the poem and mimicking their tone and rhythm will undoubtedly help you improve.
Keep up the great work, and I’m firmly convinced that you’ll shine in the competition.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still be wonderful in their own way. My parents and I had spent a long time researching summer camps online and finally we picked out one where I could design games, animate (把……制作成动画) characters, and learn other cool coding (编程) skills.
Mom said, “I like the idea of you using that clever brain of yours more, but I also hope you can get plenty of fresh air.” “Campers can choose to hike every afternoon!” I said as I clicked on the registration form.
Weeks later, my parents dropped me off at the camp, which I thought would be a week full of non-stop computer-coding fun. When I arrived at the check-in table, I met a camper of my age named Halley — he was wearing an adorable sunhat. He greeted me, “We’re in the same group — Group 7!” Led by an advisor, we followed the green arrows to the campsite.
On the way, I was surprised to find it was very cool there, filled with the fresh, woodsy smell. Halley and I talked about our expectations for the camp activities. He excitedly mentioned the small animals he loved to observe and something about watching the night sky.
“You’ve given me a great idea!” I said. “I’ll base the animated characters I design on the animals you mentioned!” Halley asked, “I’m a bit confused — what exactly are these characters you’re talking about?”
“You know, the characters we’ll be designing and animating on computers this week!” I said. “Uh, sorry, I still don’t get it,” Halley said. “Why would we do computer stuff at a Nature Camp?”
It was then that I realized there must have been a mistake — I must have accidentally clicked on the wrong online form when registering! I rushed back to the welcome table right away to see if I could switch to Tech Camp, but obviously, it was already completely full.
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。
Para.1: When I met Halley again, I forced a smile.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2: “Okay, I’ll give it a try!” I said as I looked at Halley.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 When I met Halley again, I forced a smile. I told him about my mistake — how I’d signed up for Nature Camp by accident instead of Tech Camp. Halley’s eyes widened at first, but then he patted my shoulder gently. “Nature Camp is awesome too!” he said, pulling out a small notebook filled with sketches of squirrels and fireflies. “We can watch birds at dawn, collect pinecones, and even stargaze tonight. Who knows? These might give you cooler ideas for your animated characters than a computer screen!” His words made me feel a little less upset, though I still missed the coding plans I’d dreamed of.
“Okay, I’ll give it a try!” I said as I looked at Halley. That afternoon, we joined the group to hike through the woods. Halley pointed out a family of deer hiding behind oak trees, and I quickly took photos with my phone — mentally noting their soft fur for animation details. At night, we lay on the grass, watching stars twinkle. Halley pointed out the Big Dipper, and I imagined turning it into a magical background for my characters. By week’s end, I hadn’t touched a computer, but I’d filled a notebook with animal sketches and story ideas. When I got home, I animated a little deer with a pinecone necklace — my favorite memory from Nature Camp. Sometimes, mistakes lead to the best surprises.
【解析】

②由第二段首句内容““好吧,我试试!”我看着哈雷说。”可知,第二段可描写作者决定尝试参与自然夏令营活动,以及活动的经过,和该活动给作者的启发。
