It was a rainy Friday night in northwestern
China's Shaanxi Province.A sudden rainstorm hit
Zhashui,Shaanxi,and a part of the Shuiyang
Bridge on Danning Expressway collapsed(倒塌).
Xia Hui,a 50-year-old man,was driving
from Xianyang to Wuhan with his wife,Xu Xuan.
Xia Hui was driving on the slow lane(车道),and
two cars were driving on the fast lane.After the

cars.

the car and waved his phone with the flashlight
on,but it didn't work well.There were still four
cars that fell down because of their high speed.
Xia Hui then took out his strong flashlight and
waved and shouted to coming drivers.

daughter.Later,more drivers slowed down and
stopped.After things got better,more and more
cars stopped.Soon,the police arrived.

【新情境】After staying at the International
Space Station ISS)for nine months,NASA
astronauts Suni Williams and Barry Wilmore
finally returned to Earth.The SpaceX Dragon
spacecraft(航天器)took them home.
Williams and Wilmore arrived at the ISS in

To keep their muscles(肌肉)and bones(骨

"We're doing pretty well,actually.We've
got food.We've got clothes.Both of us have
trained to live and work on the International Space
Station,and I think we've made the most of it,"
Williams told CNN.
Even with their efforts,their muscles and
bones still became weaker.What's more,space
travelers experience 100 times more radiation
than people on Earth,increasing their risk of
cancer in the future,said The Guardian.

三、阅读还原(2025·临沂改编)》
Last summer,I took an exciting trip to
Nairobi National Park.It's just 7 kilometers away
from the city center.What makes the park
special?1.
As soon as I arrived there,
the warm African sun kissed my face,and the loud
roar(咆哮)of a lion reached my ears.I couldn't
wait to start.
The park is huge,covering about 117 square
kilometers.Electric fences (keep the park
separate from the city on three sides-east,west,
and north.But the south side keeps open,letting
animals move freely as the seasons change.The
park has been there for over 70 years.There are
80 kinds of mammals(哺乳动物)and more than
500 kinds of birds in the park.2.
But
here's an important rule-they must stay inside
their cars.Why?Because there are big,dangerous
animals like lions and leopards walking around!
It's unbelievable that we can not see
elephants in the park.3.
So there might
not be enough food for the other animals.Also,
they could be a danger to people living nearby.
However,in the park,there is a meaningful Ivory
Burning Monument(象牙焚烧纪念碑).It's said
that Kenya's president burned 2.5 tons of ivory
here to show the government's strong will against
ivory trade in 1989.4.
Today many
visitors from all over the world and Kenyan
students go there.

And we all share the same
home-the earth.We should care for our animal
friends and protect our planet.

for food.
B.It's the only wildlife park inside a capital city
around the world!

these wonderful animals.
D.Many visitors can walk anywhere in the park to
see the animals freely.

humans and animals are friends.
