第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题:每小题2.5分,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题,每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Alabama: Priester’s Pecans
Dessert in the South basically starts and ends with an ooey-gooey pecan(核桃) pie. Especially in Alabama, where the pecan is the official state nut. While there are plenty of farms that pick and package pecans, perhaps the most famous is Priester’s, a family-run business that’s been supplying Alabama with its favorite nuts for over seven decades.
Alaska: Salmon jerky
Forget beef jerky(肉干)—in Alaska, it’s all about the salmon jerky. Home to five different species of the flavorful fish (king, red, pink, silver, and chum), the northernmost state produces nearly one-third of the wild salmon consumed around the world. Bonus: Salmon is one of the seven healthiest fish you can eat.
Arizona: Saguaro cactus
The largest cactus(仙人掌) in the United States, the saguaro cactus is found only in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert. Living to be up to 200 years old, the cacti, whose flower is also the state’s flower, are generally around 30 feet tall and can grow unlimited arms. Want to see for yourself? Visit one of these 10 outstanding desert escapes in America.
California: Wine Guide
It isn’t called “Wine Country” for no reason. Northern California, specifically Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley, produce over 60,000 registered wine labels, making vino(酒类产品) the state’s most valuable agricultural product. If you’re looking for the most popular varietals(优质酿酒葡萄汁), the top two frequently planted grapes are chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon.
1. How long has the Priester’s farm lasted?
A. About 7 years. B. About 30 years.
C. About 70 years. D. About 200 years.
2. Which state is famous for salmon?
A. Alaska. B. Arizona.
C. Alabama. D. California.
3. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A library guide. B. A news report.
C. A project handbook. D. A travel guide.
B
My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts.
Things got worse at the checkout line. The cashier scanned a man’s discount card but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting deliberately and began to argue.
“She is being spiteful (恶意的) !” he yelled. “This is unbelievable.”
Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who accompanied him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.
We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. The grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has eroded. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith-starting with just one person.
Back at the grocery store, my wife and I reached our uneasy cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. “We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said. Her face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.
Those are the balancing acts, the moments of responding social and emotional pain with healing, which will add up to restore trust among people. You can start that pattern in someone else’s life, even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.
4. Why did the man at the checkout line argue with the cashier?
A. The cashier called a manager to help her.
B. Someone jumped the queue waiting to check out.
C. There was something wrong with his discount card.
D. He believed the cashier charged him more on purpose.
5. The underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. added B. increased
C. faded D. formed
6. The author bought a bottle of water for the cashier because ________.
A. he thought the cashier might feel a little bit thirsty
B. he knew she had gone through much trouble recently
C. he wanted to restore the trust between her and the man
D. he wanted to comfort her after the terrible experience just now
C
When people visit Mogao Caves in Gansu, most of them don’t know the air they breathe out is destroying the paintings they came to see. Others walk round the Potala Palace in Xizang for hours, each step damaging the old floors.
Everyone wants to travel around the world, but many people don’t realize the harm that it can do to the environment.
Even Antarctica, the last undeveloped place on our planet, is not considered safe. Scientists say that even the few tourists who go there — just 13,500 in the last 10 years — are damaging its natural beauty. Unfortunately, the huge growth in tourism means that this number could have doubled by 2013.
Tourism rose by more than 100 percent in the world’s “biodiversity (生物多样性) hotspots” during the 1990s, according to a study by the United Nations Environment Programme.
The “biodiversity hotspots” are the 25 rarest and most endangered areas of plant and animal life, covering 1.4 percent of the earth. They include South America’s Andes mountains, a large part of southern Australia, and the mountains of southwest China.
The growth of tourism in such areas is due to a rise in “green tourism” and adventure travel, which sees people visit the world’s untouched places.
Tourism itself benefits the society by creating jobs and other opportunities for poor farmers. But it is important to find a balance that brings social benefits while protecting environmental and cultural resources.
Many people will choose to travel during the long holidays. Do you want to do something to help protect our environment as well as having a good time? Then try to avoid places with big crowds and follow the rules on protecting the environment.
7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. most tourists know they are doing harm to the environment
B. only the places of interest in China are badly destroyed
C. the damage to the environment is growing worse
D. Antarctica isn’t damaged by the tourists
8. The writer thinks that ______.
A. better ways can be found to protect environment resources and develop tourism at the same time
B. tourism can be further developed because it can benefit the society
C. tourism should be forbidden in order to protect the environment
D. there is a rise in “green tourism” in the world
9. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. More and more people are choosing to travel.
B. Tourism does good to the poor farmers.
C. People should help to protect the environment when they are traveling.
D. The “biodiversity hotspots” are destroyed by the tourists.
10. From the third paragraph we can infer that ______.
A. Antarctica is the only place on earth which has not been touched by tourists
B. people will develop Antarctica in ten years
C. about 13,500 people go to Antarctica every year
D scientists are worried about what is happening in Antarctica
D
The New Year is a time for celebrations for almost everyone around the world. In Britain, people go to pubs and night-clubs to dance the old year away, and to welcome in the new one at midnight.
In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks displays.
For people who stay at home, most are attracted by the special, live (直播的) New Year shows on TV. They are waiting for the countdown, along with the presenters, from 10 to 1 as the last seconds of the old year tick away and the bells of the New Year are rung.
In Scotland people visit their neighbors and drink, dance on New Year’s Eve. If you’re invited to a Scottish home that night, it’s important to know what to bring with you: a lump of coal (煤炭), some shortbread and some whisky.
The coal shows warmth, so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the New Year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”, so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.
And there’s one more key task you still have to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbor’s door is supposed to be a tall, dark and handsome man who will bring good luck to the household. But what if that’s not you? Well, don’t ring the bell just yet. Wait a while and the right person is sure to turn up soon!
11. What do visitors mean by taking things to a Scottish home on New Year’s Eve?
A. Sharing good food and warmth. B. Sending best wishes for the family.
C. Helping those poor families. D. Showing richness and generosity.
12. The tall, dark and handsome man firstly knocking on the neighbor’s door is believed to bring ______.
A. good luck B. a bottle of whisky C. some shortbread D. a lump of coal
13. People staying at home till midnight on New Year’s Eve are mostly ______.
A. ringing the bells for New Year B. talking with the presenters
C. learning to countdown numbers D. enjoying the live TV programs
14. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A British people will fire some fireworks in public places to celebrate the New Year.
B. street concerts have become more popular on the midnight of the New Year Eve.
C. British people hate to think of the old year and wish to dance it away quickly.
D. people will stay at home doing nothing but wait for the bell of the New Year to ring.
15. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. British people celebrate the New Year in different ways.
B. Many people would be waiting for the countdown.
C. Scots don’t invite others home on New Year’s Eve.
D. Street parties have been people’s favorites recently.
第二节 七选五(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。
To help you understand what 5G is, and what it means to you, we’ve put together a handy guide here.
What is 5G?
___16___At its most basic level 5G will be used to make calls, send texts, and to simply get online. But it’s going to be significantly faster than previous generations, and could open the door up to a range of exciting new uses.
___17___
5G will use new higher radio frequencies to send out data, which are less cluttered (挤了) and carry information much faster. While these higher bands are faster, they don’t carry information as far. That’s to say, smaller multiple input and output antennas (天线) will be used—promoting both signals and capacity (容量).___18___
Why is it better than 4G?
5G is expected to be faster than 4G, with some firms claiming it could be as much as 100 times quicker. The fastest 4G networks can deliver peak download speeds of around 300 Mbit/s.___19___In real life, this could allow you to download a full HD film in less than 10 seconds!
___20___It means there will be very little—if any—delay when you carry out tasks on a device. While this will help improve things like gaming experiences, it could also pave the way for safer self-driving cars—in which even a short delay could be life-saving.
Finally, 5G will have a larger capacity, meaning networks will be able to deal with several apps at once. Generally, this should mean that devices have a faster, more stable connection.
A. How does 5G work?
B. How will 5G affect you?
C. 5G is also expected to have a lower latency.
D. 5G is short for “5th generation mobile network.”
E. In comparison, 5G could offer download speeds of over 1 Gb/s.
F. Therefore, the similarity between 5G and 4G technology is huge.
G. This means 5G will support up to 1,000 more devices per meter than 4G.

Galileo (1564—1642), ____28____, who lived more than 300 years later, was the most ____29____ of several great men in Italy, France, Germany, and England, who began to show how many important truths could be discovered by observation by degrees. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more _____30_____ towards the earth than small ones, because Aristotle said so.

It isn’t called “Wine Country” for no reason. Northern California, specifically Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley, produce over 60,000 registered wine labels, making vino(酒类产品) the state’s most valuable agricultural product. If you’re looking for the most popular varietals(优质酿酒葡萄汁), the top two frequently planted grapes are chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon.

My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts.
Things got worse at the checkout line. The cashier scanned a man’s discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting deliberately and began to argue.
“She is being spiteful (恶意的) !” he yelled. “This is unbelievable.”
Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who accompanied him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.
We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. The grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has eroded. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith-starting with just one person.
Back at the grocery store, my wife and I reached our uneasy cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. “We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said. Her face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.
Those are the balancing acts, the moments of responding social and emotional pain with healing, which will add up to restore trust among people. You can start that pattern in someone else’s life, even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.
4. Why did the man at the checkout line argue with the cashier?
A. The cashier called a manager to help her.
B. Someone jumped the queue waiting to check out.
C. There was something wrong with his discount card.
D. He believed the cashier charged him more on purpose.
5. The underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. added B. increased
C. faded D. formed
6. The author bought a bottle of water for the cashier because ________.
A. he thought the cashier might feel a little bit thirsty
B. he knew she had gone through much trouble recently
C. he wanted to restore the trust between her and the man
D. he wanted to comfort her after the terrible experience just now
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和妻子在一个杂货店中遇到了一位男士与收银员争吵,从而发觉人与人之间缺乏信任,而作者和妻子买水安慰收银员,以期重新建立人与人之间的信任。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The cashier scanned a man’s discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting deliberately and began to argue.(收银员扫了一名男子的折扣卡,但他误把省下来的钱当成了额外的收费,他认为收银员是故意的,并和她吵了起来。)”可知,他认为收银员是故意多收他的钱。故选D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段划线词前句“We've all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. (我们都在公共场所目睹过这些不愉快的场面。)”可知,而这些不愉快也说明了人与人之间缺乏信任,即彼此之间的信任削弱了。因此,erode与fade同义,意为“逐渐削弱;消失”。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.( 我们对那个人那样对待你感到很抱歉,所以想买这个给你。)”可知,作者和妻子对于那个男人对待收银员的方式感到难过,因此给收银员买了一瓶水。由此可推断,他们是想要安慰收银员。故选D。
C
When people visit Mogao Caves in Gansu, most of them don’t know the air they breathe out is destroying the paintings they came to see. Others walk round the Potala Palace in Xizang for hours, each step damaging the old floors.
Everyone wants to travel around the world, but many people don’t realize the harm that it can do to the environment.
Even Antarctica, the last undeveloped place on our planet, is not considered safe. Scientists say that even the few tourists who go there — just 13,500 in the last 10 years — are damaging its natural beauty. Unfortunately, the huge growth in tourism means that this number could have doubled by 2013.
Tourism rose by more than 100 percent in the world’s “biodiversity (生物多样性) hotspots” during the 1990s, according to a study by the United Nations Environment Programme.
The “biodiversity hotspots” are the 25 rarest and most endangered areas of plant and animal life, covering 1.4 percent of the earth. They include South America’s Andes mountains, a large part of southern Australia, and the mountains of southwest China.
The growth of tourism in such areas is due to a rise in “green tourism” and adventure travel which sees people visit the world’s untouched places.
Tourism itself benefits the society by creating jobs and other opportunities for poor farmers. But it is important to find a balance that brings social benefits while protecting environmental and cultural resources.
Many people will choose to travel during the long holidays. Do you want to do something to help protect our environment as well as having a good time? Then try to avoid places with big crowds and follow the rules on protecting the environment.
7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. most tourists know they are doing harm to the environment
B. only the places of interest in China are badly destroyed
C. the damage to the environment is growing worse
D. Antarctica isn’t damaged by the tourists
8. The writer thinks that ______.
A. better ways can be found to protect environment resources and develop tourism at the same time
B. tourism can be further developed because it can benefit the society
C. tourism should be forbidden in order to protect the environment
D. there is a rise in “green tourism” in the world
9. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. More and more people are choosing to travel.
B. Tourism does good to the poor farmers.
C People should help to protect the environment when they are traveling.
D. The “biodiversity hotspots” are destroyed by the tourists.
10. From the third paragraph we can infer that ______.
A. Antarctica is the only place on earth which has not been touched by tourists
B. people will develop Antarctica in ten years
C. about 13,500 people go to Antarctica every year
D. scientists are worried about what is happening in Antarctica
【答案】7. C 8. A 9. C 10. D
【解析】

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When people visit Mogao Caves in Gansu, most of them don’t know the air they breathe out is destroying the paintings they came to see. Others walk round the Potala Palace in Xizang for hours, each step damaging the old floors. (当人们游览甘肃的莫高窟时,大多数人都不知道他们呼出的气体正在破坏他们前来观赏的壁画。还有些人会在西藏的布达拉宫里漫步数小时,每走一步都会损坏古老的地面。)”和第三段中“Unfortunately, the huge growth in tourism means that this number could have doubled by 2013. (不幸的是,旅游业的迅猛发展意味着到2013年这一数字可能会翻一番。)”可知,旅游业对莫高窟、布达拉宫等地造成破坏,旅游业的迅猛发展使南极游客数量可能翻倍,这暗示环境破坏正变得越来越严重。故选C项。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段中“But it is important to find a balance that brings social benefits while protecting environmental and cultural resources. (但重要的是要找到一种既能带来社会效益又能保护环境和文化资源的平衡点。)”可推知,作者认为,可以找到更好的方式在保护环境资源的同时发展旅游业。故选A项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Everyone wants to travel around the world, but many people don’t realize the harm that it can do to the environment. (每个人都渴望环游世界,但很多人并未意识到这种行为会对环境造成何种损害。)”和最后一段“Many people will choose to travel during the long holidays. Do you want to do something to help protect our environment as well as having a good time? Then try to avoid places with big crowds and follow the rules on protecting the environment. (许多人在长假期间会选择出游。你是否也想做些事情来帮助保护我们的环境,同时又能享受一番快乐呢?那么就尽量避开人多拥挤的地方,并遵守保护环境的相关规定吧。)”可知,文章探讨旅游业增长对全球脆弱环境造成的破坏日益严重的问题,并引导游客在旅行中主动保护环境,以实现旅游发展与生态保护的平衡。因此,文章主要讨论人们在旅行中应帮助保护环境。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Scientists say that even the few tourists who go there — just 13,500 in the last 10 years — are damaging its natural beauty. (科学家们表示,即便前往那里的游客数量也很少——在过去十年里仅有13500人次——但他们的行为仍在破坏那里的自然美景。)”可知,科学家指出少量前往南极的游客也会造成破坏。由此推断,科学家对南极正在发生的情况感到担忧。故选D项。

The New Year is a time for celebrations for almost everyone around the world. In Britain, people go to pubs and night-clubs to dance the old year away, and to welcome in the new one at midnight.
In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks displays.
For people who stay at home, most are attracted by the special, live (直播的) New Year shows on TV. They are waiting for the countdown, along with the presenters, from 10 to 1 as the last seconds of the old year tick away and the bells of the New Year are rung.
In Scotland people visit their neighbors and drink, dance on New Year’s Eve. If you’re invited to a Scottish home that night, it’s important to know what to bring with you: a lump of coal (煤炭), some shortbread and some whisky.
The coal shows warmth, so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the New Year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”, so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.
And there’s one more key task you still have to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbor’s door is supposed to be a tall, dark and handsome man who will bring good luck to the household. But what if that’s not you? Well, don’t ring the bell just yet. Wait a while and the right person is sure to turn up soon!
11. What do visitors mean by taking things to a Scottish home on New Year’s Eve?
A. Sharing good food and warmth. B. Sending best wishes for the family.
C. Helping those poor families. D. Showing richness and generosity.
12. The tall, dark and handsome man firstly knocking on the neighbor’s door is believed to bring ______.
A. good luck B. a bottle of whisky C. some shortbread D. a lump of coal
13. People staying at home till midnight on New Year’s Eve are mostly ______.
A. ringing the bells for New Year B. talking with the presenters
C. learning to countdown numbers D. enjoying the live TV programs
14. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. British people will fire some fireworks in public places to celebrate the New Year.
B. street concerts have become more popular on the midnight of the New Year Eve.
C. British people hate to think of the old year and wish to dance it away quickly.
D. people will stay at home doing nothing but wait for the bell of the New Year to ring.
15. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. British people celebrate the New Year in different ways.
B. Many people would be waiting for the countdown.
C. Scots don’t invite others home on New Year’s Eve.
D. Street parties have been people’s favorites recently.

To help you understand what 5G is, and what it means to you, we’ve put together a handy guide here.
What is 5G?
___16___At its most basic level, 5G will be used to make calls, send texts, and to simply get online. But it’s going to be significantly faster than previous generations, and could open the door up to a range of exciting new uses.
___17___
5G will use new higher radio frequencies to send out data, which are less cluttered (挤了) and carry information much faster. While these higher bands are faster, they don’t carry information as far. That’s to say, smaller multiple input and output antennas (天线) will be used—promoting both signals and capacity (容量).___18___
Why is it better than 4G?
5G is expected to be faster than 4G, with some firms claiming it could be as much as 100 times quicker. The fastest 4G networks can deliver peak download speeds of around 300 Mbit/s.___19___In real life, this could allow you to download a full HD film in less than 10 seconds!
___20___It means there will be very little—if any—delay when you carry out tasks on a device. While this will help improve things like gaming experiences, it could also pave the way for safer self-driving cars—in which even a short delay could be life-saving.
Finally, 5G will have a larger capacity, meaning networks will be able to deal with several apps at once. Generally, this should mean that devices have a faster, more stable connection.
A. How does 5G work?
B. How will 5G affect you?
C. 5G is also expected to have a lower latency.
D. 5G is short for “5th generation mobile network.”
E. In comparison, 5G could offer download speeds of over 1 Gb/s.
F. Therefore, the similarity between 5G and 4G technology is huge.
G. This means 5G will support up to 1,000 more devices per meter than 4G.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. G 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要描述了一个方便的指南告诉读者5G是什么,它对你意味着什么。
【16题详解】
根据下文“At its most basic level, 5G will be used to make calls, send texts, and to simply get online. (在最基本的层面上,5G将用于拨打电话,发送短信以及简单地上网。)”并结合小标题“What is 5G?(什么是5G)”可知,本段主要内容是5G的概念,D项5G is short for “5th generation mobile network.”(5G是“第五代移动网络”的缩写)与上下文一致,符合文意。故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据下文“5G will use new higher radio frequencies to send out data, which are less cluttered(挤了)and carry information much faster. (5G将使用新的更高无线电频率来发送数据,这些数据不那么混乱,并且传输信息的速度要快得多。)”可知,本段内容与5G的工作原理有关,A项How does 5G work?(5G如何运作?)可以作为本段小标题。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“That’s to say, smaller multiple input and output antennas (天线) will be used—promoting both signals and capacity(容量).(也就是说,更小的多输入和输出天线将被应用——提升信号质量和容量。)”可知,空处内容与这种天线所带来的优势有关,G项This means 5G will support up to 1,000 more devices per meter than 4G.(这意味着5G每米将比4G多支持多达1,000个设备。)与上下文一致,this指代上文内容,符合文意。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“The fastest 4G networks can deliver peak download speeds of around 300 Mbit/s.(快的4G网络可以提供约300 Mbit/s的峰值下载速度。)”可知,4G速度快,但是5G速度会更快,空处要与4G的网络速度对比来说明5G的网络速度,所以E项In comparison, 5G could offer download speeds of over 1 Gb/s.(相比之下,5G可以提供超过1Gb/s的下载速度)与上下文一致,符合语境。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“It means there will be very little—if any—delay when you carry out tasks on a device.(这意味着当您在设备上执行任务时,几乎没有延迟。)”可知,当你在设备上执行任务时,即使有延迟,也会非常小,空处与下文为解释说明关系,说明5G有较低的延迟性,C项5G is also expected to have a lower latency.(预计5G的延迟也会更低。)与上下文一致, lower latency与delay为前后呼应。故选C项。

【答案】范文:
On the Way to School
These days, breaking traffic rules and littering are not uncommon, causing serious harm to life and the environment. Changing this situation requires considerable effort on the part of everyone. As for me, it should start on the way to school.
I will keep traffic rules in mind. If I ride a bicycle, I’ll always keep to the right and never cross a road until the traffic light turns green. If I walk, I’ll never forget to use the pedestrian crossing. Meanwhile, I’ll regard it as my duty to help keep our environment clean and healthy. Not only will I keep from littering and spitting anywhere, I will also help clean up the roadside litter. I hope my behavior will make a difference.

“Tom!” she cried.“Help!”
No reply. If only she hadn’t left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving, as night was beginning to fall, Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark, Jane started to miss her husband, Tom. She wanted to tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose(起身) at the break of day(黎明), hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a river. To her great joy, she also saw some berry bushes(浆果丛林). She drank and ate a few berries. Feeling stronger now, Jane began to walk along the river and hope it would lead her to the lake.
Fortunately,Jane heard a helicopter(直升飞机). Is that for me? Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later, another helicopter flew overhead.

But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. Jane was so tired, hungry, and extremely frightened. She thought to herself, “If only I had not quarrelled with Tom. Where is Tom? He must have made the emergency call. What I need is enough courage. If I continue my spirits tomorrow, I will be likely to guide the helicopter.” Lying beside the river, she fell asleep very soon. Suddenly, she heard the shouts of tigers, which made her scared to death. After she held her breath for a few minutes, everything was quiet again. In the terrible darkness, she slept again.
It was daybreak when Jane woke up. She caught sight of a fisherman at a distance, with whose help she climbed to an open area. To her great joy, a helicopter flew overhead just at that moment. The fisherman helped flag her yellow blouse wildly. This did catch the rescuers' attention! Jane was rescued. Seeing Tom, she told him how much she missed him. Never would they be away from each other. Tom gave her the warmest and longest hug she had ever received.
