I was mostly based in Samburu National Reserve,recording details of the population and leading collar (颈圈) operations.We put trackers (跟踪仪) around wild elephants’ necks,so we can learn about their activities.
In May 2009,in the middle of the wet season,Rommel appeared again.And it was his turn to be placed a collar.We sent three cars out to search for him.There’s a river running through the park where many elephants gather in the mornings.At 10:30 am,one of my partners clocked Rommel.
A tranquillizer (镇静剂) was carefully shot into his body so we could safely place a collar on him,but for a bull of Rommel’s size it could take longer.After that,he turned away,heading in an unexpected direction and seemed to be near danger by killing himself in the water.It would be a bad accident.Only by pulling his trunk (象鼻) from the river could we ensure his survival.The problem was that the river was a little bit changeable.Immediately,I decided to act.I jumped in and lifted his heavy,twitching trunk from the water with the help of lifeguards.The team tried to fit him with a collar,but we discovered that we didn’t have one big enough.
We couldn’t risk keeping him there while we created a bigger collar.So I struggled on,holding his trunk high with all my strength.And medicine that took away the efforts of the tranquillizer was delivered.
As soon as his ears started to move,a sign of coming to life,I dropped his trunk and moved to safety.Within a couple of minutes,he was back to life.That was one of my proudest moments.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One June evening,Sylvia,8,was driving her cow home through the woods.Suddenly a clear whistle(口哨声)broke the peace.Before she could hide into the bushes,she was stopped by a young man,who carried a gun over his shoulder.
“Hello,little girl.I am hunting for some birds but I have lost my way,” he said kindly.“Can I spend the night at your house?” Sylvia hesitated for a while and agreed to take him home at last.
Sylvia’s grandma was really kind.She cooked for the young man and chatted with him.“Sylvia is very shy but she is popular with birds,” Grandma said proudly.“Birds come and feed right out of her hands,and all sorts of birds.”
“So Sylvia knows all about birds?” he asked excitedly.“I am making a collection of birds myself.”
“Do you cage them up?” asked Grandma.
“Oh no,they’re stuffed(制作标本)and preserved,”said the young man.“I came here for a white heron (鹭),a tall white bird with long thin legs.It would have a nest perhaps on the top of a high tree.” He looked at Sylvia,hoping for some answers.Sylvia’s heart gave a wild beat.She knew the bird,but she said nothing.
“I would offer ten dollars to any helper,” the man added desperately.Ten dollars was really a big sum.Sylvia agreed with a nod.
The next day they started early,the young man going first and Sylvia following.He proved to be really kind and told her many things about birds.
She could not understand why he killed the very birds he seemed to like so much.In the evening,they returned,empty-handed.
Lying in bed,Sylvia suddenly thought of a great pine tree,which stood at the farther edge of the woods and towered far above the others.“If I climb it at daybreak,maybe I could easily discover from where the white heron flew,and mark the place,and find the hidden nest,” she thought.What a big secret!
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Sylvia stole out of the house before daybreak. _______________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing Sylvia back in dust,Grandma and the young man were surprised.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
写作思路
读后续写四步曲
第一步 通读全文,理清脉络
1.读要素,弄懂故事大意
本文大意:Sylvia 答应一名年轻人借宿请求且为了 10 美元报酬同意帮其找白鹭。在寻找一天无果后,她突然想到了个好主意。
2.读人物,理清人物关系
Sylvia,white heron(鹭),grandma,a young man
3.读时态,确定主体时态
一般过去时
4.读结构,了解叙述方式
第1-2段:Sylvia 在树林偶遇一名年轻人,并同意其借宿;
第3-7段:奶奶接待年轻人时得知他在寻找白鹭,想将其做成标本;Sylvia 同意帮年轻人找白鹭并可获得十美元报酬;
第8-10段:Sylvia 和年轻人找了一天都没有找到白鹭,但在睡前,她突然想到了一个找到白鹭的好主意;
续写部分:第一段主要讲述 Sylvia找白鹭的过程;第二段则讲述了 Sylvia 拒绝透露白鹭的位置。
由此可见,材料是按照事情发展的阶段来划分的。我们在构思续写时应从这个叙述方式去进行拓展。
5.读语言,把握语言特色
原文中的语言特色:
(1)并列动词来描述人物的动作
Sylvia hesitated for a while and agreed to take him home at last.
She cooked for the young man and chatted with him.
Birds come and feed right out of her hands,and all sorts of birds.
(2) 副词的使用
Suddenly a clear whistle broke the peace.
“So Sylvia knows all about birds?” he asked excitedly.
(3)非谓语动词的使用
The next day they started early,the young man going first and Sylvia following.
He looked at Sylvia,hoping for some answers.
第二步 依据首句,构思框架
1.读懂两段首句
第一段首句译文:__________________________________
第二段首句译文:_______________________________________________
第一段框架:可设想Sylvia找白鹭的艰辛和找到后的觉醒。
第二段框架:可设想奶奶的焦急和 Sylvia 拒绝透露白鹭的位置。
天亮前,Sylvia 偷偷溜出了房子。
看到 Sylvia 满身尘土回来,奶奶和年轻人都很惊讶。
2.写好两个衔接句
第一段首句后的衔接句:Expectedly,she managed to reach the pine tree.
第二段首句后的衔接句:“Where have you been?” Worried about her so much,her Grandma asked in a burst of anger.
3.写好一个升华句
第二段的尾句,即文尾句。能体现故事圆满结局的句子或故事给我们的启示的句子:
She knew that however much she was rewarded,nothing was more valuable than her friend in nature.
第三步 增加细节,展开续写
基于第一段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
Sylvia的动作描写(成功找到松树并赤手赤脚爬了上去)
→Sylvia的情感和动作描写(站在树顶,感到眩晕和害怕,但瞬间发现一只白鹭在离她很近的巢里休息)
→Sylvia的情感描写(想到报酬,内心激动)→白鹭的外表描写和Sylvia情感描写(看到漂亮的白鹭有着自由的生活,内心颤动,气自己怎么可以这么自私)
→Sylvia的心理描写(下定决心,决不透露白鹭的位置)
基于第二段的框架,我们可以补充以下细节:
奶奶的语言和情感描写(奶奶又担心又生气,问 Sylvia 去哪里了)
→年轻人的神态描写(急切地看着 Sylvia,等待着答案)
→Sylvia的动作和心理描写(她紧闭双唇,希望可爱的白鹭永远不会被找到)
→年轻人的动作描写(年轻人反复询问 Sylvia)
→Sylvia的动作和心理描写(保持沉默,因为她明白没有什么比自己的朋友能待在自然界里更有价值的了)
第四步 检查优化,整洁誊写
Sylvia stole out of the house before daybreak.Expectedly,she managed to reach the pine tree.Then she began to climb with her bare feet and hands.When ending up on the top of it,she felt dizzy and fearful,but suddenly she spotted a white heron resting on a nest close to her.Imagining possessing that big fortune,Sylvia nearly burst into tears.However,seeing the beautiful bird enjoying her life freely,she almost got annoyed with herself for being so selfish at once.On her way home,she made up her mind.
返回
Seeing Sylvia back in dust,Grandma and the young man were surprised.“Where have you been?” Worried about her so much,her Grandma asked in a burst of anger.Meanwhile,the young man looked straight in her eyes eagerly,waiting for an answer.Yet,she only bit her lip tightly,hoping the lovely bird would never be stuffed.Though the man asked her again and again,she still kept silent.She knew that however much she was rewarded,nothing was more valuable than her friend in nature.

都江堰
The Dujiangyan Irrigation Project in Southwest China’s Sichuan Province shows ancient China’s superb science and technology and is a milestone in the world’s water control and irrigation history.Dujiangyan,the world’s oldest river diversion project without a dam,still feeds a great number of irrigation canals watering 670,000 hectares farmland in Sichuan,turning the area into the country’s famous land of abundance since ancient times.
位于中国西南部四川省的都江堰水利工程展示了中国古代高超的科学技术,并且是世界治水灌溉史上的一座里程碑。都江堰是世界上最古老的没有水坝的河流改道工程,至今仍然为许多灌溉渠供水,灌溉着四川67万公顷的农田,使该片地区自古以来就成为中国著名的天府之国。
56 kilometers west of Chengdu,the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project was built up in 256 BCE to harness (控制)the Minjiang River,a tributary(支流)of the Yangtze River,which had frequently caused floods in rainy seasons.It was designed to change the course of the fast-flowing river and divert it into irrigation channels.
都江堰水利工程位于成都以西56千米处,始建于公元前256年,为控制在雨季常引发洪水的长江支流岷江而建造。它的设计目的是改变湍急的河流的流向,并将其改道引入灌溉渠。
As the engineering designer,Li Bing created a three-part project,which divided the Minjiang River into an inner flow for irrigation and an outer channel for flood control.This work was continued by Li Bing’s son,and the project has been maintained and developed ever since,so that the present system of dams,reservoirs (水库) and pumping stations (泵站)irrigate some 3.2 million hectares.
作为工程设计师,李冰设计了一个三段式工程,将岷江分为内江灌溉和外江防洪。李冰的儿子继续进行这项工作,从那时起,这项工程一直得到维护和发展,使目前的水坝、水库和泵站系统灌溉了大约320万公顷土地。

As high school students,we should keep healthy.If we’re not healthy,we cannot study well.But how to keep healthy?Here are some things that I do to stay healthy.
First,I eat right.I hardly eat fast food such as French fries and hot dogs.So I never go to McDonalds or KFCs.I usually eat at home.Luckily,my mother doesn’t work and she can cook for my family every day.She usually cooks healthy food.Besides eating healthy food,I also eat regularly.I don’t skip a meal.Many students don’t eat breakfast.This is a big mistake.Also,I eat very slowly and I never eat too much at a time.
Second,I do exercise to stay healthy.Many students think they’re too busy to exercise.But I think differently.Instead of taking a bus to school,I ride a bike.After school,I usually play basketball for a while before I get home.Also,I like going to the park near my home.I can read there.When I get tired,I take a walk at the park.
Third,I get enough sleep every day.Sleep is very important for our health.I don’t stay up late playing computer games or watching TV.I usually go to bed by 10:00 pm.
So what do you do to keep healthy?

(2024·重庆高一期中)
There are some foods named after real people or events and each dish has a unique history behind its name.Here are some examples.
Kung Pao Chicken
Ding Baozhen,a 19th-century Qing Dynasty official and governor of Sichuan Province,is the man who inspired this dish.The title,originating from “Gong Bao” which translates as “Palace Guardian”,his official title.The sweet and spicy fried chicken and peanut dish,flavored with chilies and Sichuan pepper,is said to have been a personal favorite.
Beef Wellington
In the 1960s,beef Wellington was a popular choice on menus.While it’s named after the Duke of Wellington,a British military hero who defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815,the dish of meat wrapped in bread was already commonplace.Its Duke-inspired name seems to have been added later.
Cappuccino
There’s not one person behind the name cappuccino but a whole group—the Capuchin.The brown color of their robes is said to have inspired coffee makers in 19th-century Vienna,where milk was first added to the drink.However,it didn’t get its signature foamy (泡沫的) top until later,in Italy,when espresso machines were invented.
Margherita Pizza
One of the more simple pizzas but one that lasts,a margherita is a classic choice.A pizza base topped with cheese and tomato (the colors represent the Italian flag),it was created by Raffaele Esposito,the owner of a pizzaria in Naples,to celebrate Queen Margherita’s visit in 1889.It may have existed before,but that is when it became popular.

(2024-2025·期末试卷)
Nature works like a big clock. Everything is arranged in order and interconnected. Every part has its place and its role. Take the wolf for example. As meat-eaters, wolves regulate the number of plant eaters so that they do not reproduce too many. All animals and plants are closely related in a system.
The wolves remind me of a story from my childhood when my grandfather gave me an old clock. The first thing I did was take the clock apart to find out how it worked. Even though I was sure that I knew how to put it back together in working order, I couldn't do it. After I rebuilt it, there were a few parts left over and a grandfather who was not in the best of moods. In the wild, wolves play the role of such parts. If we remove them, not only do the enemies of sheep and cattle disappear, but the system of nature also begins to run differently, so differently that rivers change course and many local bird species(物种) die out.
And things can also go wrong when a species is added. For example, the introduction of a nonnative fish leads to a great decrease in the local deer population. Because of a fish? The earth's ecosystems, it seems, are a bit too complex (复杂的) for us to draw up simple rules of cause and effect. Even protection work can have unexpected results. Who knew, for example, that recovering crane(鹤) populations in Europe would affect the production of Iberian ham?
So it's high time we took a good look at the interconnections between species both large and small. It's important for us to realize that even small interventions(干预) can have huge influences, and we'd do better to keep our hands off everything in nature that we do not have to touch.
语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了大自然就像一个巨大的钟表在运作。每样东西都排列整齐,相互联系。作者建议人们在干预自然界之前要三思而后行。
24.What does the underlined word “regulate” mean in paragraph 1?
A.Control. B.Count.
C.Record. D.Increase.
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“As meat-eaters, wolves regulate the number of plant eaters so that they do not reproduce too many. All animals and plants are closely related in a system.(作为食肉动物,狼会regulate食草动物的数量,这样它们就不会繁殖太多。所有的动物和植物在一个系统中是密切相关的。)”可知,狼会控制食草动物的数量,这样就会避免食草动物的过度繁殖,因此划线词与A选项“Control.(控制)”为同义词。故选A。
√
25.What does the author want to show with the story in paragraph 2?
A.Curiosity kills the cat.
B.Every part matters.
C.Clocks are hard to rebuild.
D.Grandfather's love lasts.
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The wolves remind me of a story from my childhood when my grandfather gave me an old clock. The first thing I did was take the clock apart to find out how it worked. Even though I was sure that I knew how to put it back together in working order, I couldn't do it. After I rebuilt it, there were a few parts left over and a grandfather who was not in the best of moods. In the wild, wolves play the role of such parts.
√
If we remove them, not only do the enemies of sheep and cattle disappear, but the system of nature also begins to run differently, so differently that rivers change course and many local bird species(物种) die out.( 灰狼使我想起了一个童年的故事,当时我的祖父给了我一个旧时钟。我做的第一件事就是将时钟拆开,想找出它是如何工作的。尽管我很确定我知道如何把它装回工作状态,但我却做不到。在我重新组装它之后,还剩下一些零件,而祖父的情绪也不是很好。在野外,灰狼扮演的就是这样的零件角色。如果我们赶走或捕杀它们,那么羊和牛的敌人就会消失,但自然的系统也开始以一种截然不同的方式运行,以至于河流改变了方向,很多当地的鸟类物种也会灭绝。)”可知,作者通过拆解闹钟却无法复原的故事,类比了如果移除自然界中的某个物种(如狼),就会导致整个生态系统失衡。因此,作者想要表达的是每个部分都很重要,不应该被随意移除或改变。故选B。
26.Why can things also go wrong when a species is added?
A.Local species will disappear soon.
B.Rules of cause and effect are simple in nature.
C.The interconnections in nature are complex.
D.Protection projects are too hard to complete.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中“And things can also go wrong when a species is added. For example, the introduction of a nonnative fish leads to a great decrease in the local deer population.(当加入一个物种时,事情也可能出错。例如,引进一种非本地鱼类会导致本地鹿的数量大幅减少。)”以及“The earth's ecosystems, it seems, are a bit too complex (复杂的) for us to draw up simple rules of cause and effect. (地球的生态系统似乎有点太复杂了,我们无法制定简单的因果规则。)”可知,地球上的生态系统非常复杂,添加新物种可能会破坏原有的生态平衡,导致意想不到的结果。因此,选项C“自然界的相互联系是复杂的”是正确的答案。故选C。
27.What does the author suggest people do?
A.Pay more attention to small animals.
B.Stay away from protection work.
C.Take a new look at meat-eaters.
D.Think twice before stepping in.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It's important for us to realize that even small interventions(干预) can have huge influences, and we'd do better to keep our hands off everything in nature that we do not have to touch.( 对我们来说,重要的是要意识到,即使是很小的干预也会产生巨大的影响,我们最好把我们的手从自然界中任何我们不需要接触的东西上拿开。)”可知,作者认为即使是微小的干预也可能对自然界产生巨大的影响,因此建议人们在介入之前要三思。故选D。

The homelessness problem across the Pacific Northwest is going to be addressed in a unique way by a recent joint venture of two Seattle-born non-profit organizations.Through “The BLOCK Project”,tiny sustainable(可持续的) homes are being built in the backyards of the charitable volunteers,to be delivered to the homeless people of the neighborhood.
Architect and founder of the BLOCK,Rex Hohlbein joined Facing Homelessness,another non-profit organization to launch the collaborative(合作的) project.The latter organization has the responsibility of finding lands in the household backyards,on which Hohlbein’s BLOCK will build small,sustainable housing.The name of the project came from Hohlbein’s pioneering 125 square feet design of the tiny sustainable houses.Thousands of Seattle residents have already offered their house backyards for the project.The government also stepped in to make the entire process as legally convenient as possible.
Seattle has been facing a double problem of having expensive houses on one hand,and the country’s 3rd largest homeless community on the other.In such situation,Hohlbein realized that willingness of kind neighbors could provide a much better and quicker solution than a long waiting for state help or government programs.The good idea of the architect is now getting proved by continuous building of thousands of tiny backyard homes across Seattle.
The long-term goal of the project is to copy the changing definition of lodging(住宿) brought about by Airbnb.According to Hohlbein,in his childhood,it was absurd to think about hosting complete strangers in any regular household just in exchange for little money.But the Airbnb has made the concept as casual as it can get.Through“The BLOCK Project”,Hohlbein aims to copy the same kind of“cultural shift” with futuristic sustainable housing.

Swedish company Polestar,known for making high-performance electric cars,constructed a micro-space treehouse,called KOJA,based on a design by Finnish designer Kristian Talvitie.
The concept received an honorable mention (荣誉奖) in the 2021 Polestar Design Contest,so the company decided to bring it to life to mark the launch of the 2022 contest.Built in the village of Fiskars,an art and design center in southwestern Finland,KOJA is the first work from the competition to be realized.
A response to the contest theme of “progress”,KOJA is described as redefining sustainable travel by reducing the need for travel in the first place,yet still brings people closer to nature.Koja is a Swedish word meaning“a small house” and the inside of the treehouse offers a simple space for hanging out in nature.Attached to a tree trunk just below the canopy (树冠),the design maximizes the treetop view with a glass wall and roof.Accessed by a back staircase,there is one room forming a U-shape around the tree trunk.
“We were fascinated by the idea and how it translates our brand values into a different environment.That was key for us,and we were so impressed that we decided to build it,” says Maximilian Missoni,head of design at Polestar.Described as “ a rich experience in a natural environment”,KOJA connects to the growing micro-space trend and the treehouse is accessible for people who would otherwise take a much longer trip to experience the wilderness.
“Most designers look at a design from a user’s perspective,”says the designer of KOJA,Kristian Talvitie.“I also look at things from the environment’s perspective.Created from sustainable and durable materials such as locally sourced wood and wool,KOJA is in harmony with its natural environment.”

Food is life;it gives us the nourishment we need to stay alive and be healthy.Usually,we eat because we are hungry or need energy.Brian Wansink,a professor at the University of Illinois,says we also eat certain foods because they make us feel good,and remind us of happy memories. 36 For some people,ice cream is a comfort food.For others,a bowl of noodle soup makes them feel good.
37 Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times,feelings,and people in our lives.“When I was a child,my mother made a delicious soup.I loved it. 38 And it helps me feel better,” says one of Wansink’s co-workers.
Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink’s research at the University of Illinois says “yes”.In his study,the favorite comfort food for both men and women was ice cream.After this,men usually preferred hot,savory (味香的) foods like soup or noodles. 39 Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy,but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried.
40 About 40 percent of the comfort foods in Wansink’s study were healthy main dishes or soups and vegetables.It shows,says Wansink,that a comfort food can taste good and be good for you.
A.Where can we buy this sort of food?
B.How does a food become comfort food?
C.Not all comfort food is junk food.
D.Women liked sweet things such as chocolate and cookies.

The Yangtze River
The Yangtze River,flowing 6,380 kilometers from the snowy heights of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the East China Sea,is the longest river in China and Asia,and the third longest in the world.
As our “Father River”,he is the source of civilization,witnessing the growth of Chinese people.What’s worth mentioning is that not only does the Yangtze River provide people with sufficient water resource,but also he,like a father,raises varieties of animals and plants in his arms.
Standing by the river,you will always be struck by its beautiful scenery,from the pure and clean water to the birds hovering overhead.Hanging around the river,the fresh breeze will kiss your face,giving it a feeling of moisture.
In brief,only when you approach him in person can you feel its greatness and mightiness.

What Is Ecotourism?
You may not be very familiar with “ecotourism”—a new term in today’s tourism industry—but in an era of growing environmental consciousness,it is not too difficult for us to imagine and work out the meaning of this new form of holiday.
Ecotourism is typically defined as travel to places where the unique plants,animals and cultural heritage are the primary attractions.It is a kind of responsible tourism which seriously takes ecology and culture into consideration.Therefore,programmes involving the conservation and preservation of some natural and cultural sites also form a part of ecotourism.
Ever since the United Nations declared the year 2002 as the International Year of Ecotourism,this side of the tourist industry has developed at great speed.Over 80 activities have been listed for ecotourism,such as bird-watching,hiking,diving,photography,mountaineering and participating in various kinds of local cultural events.Now,according to some reports,ecotourism enjoys annual growth rates of about 15-20% worldwide.
People should be aware that sometimes what is called “ecotourism” may actually be “greenwashing”.This type of tourism aims to profit from the “ecotourism” label,where tourist resorts are built on nature reserves in ways that damage their surroundings.Of course,if this were true ecotourism,the tourist resorts would help—not hurt—the environment.
Big cities remain the major places that absorb tourists in our society today,but perhaps smaller towns and rural areas rich in ecological,cultural and historical resources will become the travel destinations of tomorrow.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文
As a new term,“ecotourism” is defined as a responsible tourism,considering ecology,culture and environmental protection carefully.(要点一)With already many activities worldwide involved,ecotourism has been developing at a high rate.(要点二)“Ecotourism” differs from “greenwashing”,which aims at profits but hurts the environment.(要点三)Besides,places with ecological,cultural and historical resources will be popular in ecotourism in the future.(要点四)
