Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson was sued (起诉) for $1,500 for having a song “Happy Birthday to You” sung in the movie she’s making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a TV show, a book, or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright for “Happy Birthday to You” since 1988.
“I never thought the song was owned by anyone,” Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York Times. “I thought it belonged to everyone.”
Nelson’s movie is a documentary—a film that uses pictures and/or interviews with people to create a factual report of real-life events—and is actually about the history of the “Happy Birthday” song itself.
Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters’ song.
A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the “Happy Birthday to You” lyrics. Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the “Happy Birthday” song, but they believe it had been sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.
Nelson’s lawyers say this piece of music’s history proves that “Happy Birthday to You” belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting.
Experts estimate that Warner/Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.” Nelson’s lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years for use of the “Happy Birthday” song.
4. Why did Warner Music Group sue Jennifer Nelson?
A. Because she sold “Happy Birthday to You” for money.
B. Because she secretly used “Happy Birthday to You” song in her film.
C. Because she didn’t own the copyright on “Happy Birthday to You” song.
D. Because she used the “Happy Birthday to You” song without permission.
5. How was the “Happy Birthday” song produced?
A. Someone replaced “happy birthday to you” in the song.
B. It was written by Mildred as a gift for her sister’s birthday in 1893.
C. It was created by someone who used the tune of “Good Morning to All”.
D. People were asked to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in the movie.
6. The history experts’ statement can prove that the “Happy Birthday” song__________.
A. has always been very popular B. was definitely released by the public
C. does not belong to Warner Music Group D. has more than 32 years’ history since 1988
7. If the court supports the claim from Nelson’s lawyers,__________.
A. Warner will return about $8 million B. she can obtain the copyright on the song
C. Warner will have to pay her for her damage D. she can sell the song for about$2 million a year
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。Jennifer Nelson因为在电影中使用了《祝你生日快乐》这首歌,需要付1500美元给华纳音乐集团。因为华纳音乐集团说他们拥有这首歌的版权,但是历史学家认为在这首歌版权归于华纳集团之前已经流行开来了。因此Jennifer Nelson的律师提起了诉讼。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson was sued (起诉) for $1,500 for having a song “Happy Birthday to You” sung in the movie she’s making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song.可知电影制作人Jennifer Nelson因在她的电影中演唱《祝你生日快乐》而被起诉,索赔1500美元。这笔钱归华纳音乐集团,这家公司声称拥有这首歌的版权。由此可知,华纳音乐集团起诉Jennifer Nelson,是因为她未经允许就唱了“祝你生日快乐”这首歌。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters’ song.可知1893年,Mildred和Patty Hill姐妹俩创作了一首名为《大家早上好》的歌曲。在很短的时间里,人们开始用“祝你生日快乐”来代替原来的歌词。由此可推知,“生日快乐”这首歌是由一个人用“大家早上好”的曲调创造的。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the “Happy Birthday” song, but they believe it had been sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.可知历史学家还表示,无法知道公众何时开始唱这首“生日快乐”歌,但他们认为,这首歌早在被印刷并归某家公司所有之前就已经被公众唱过了。由此可推知,历史学家认为这首歌不属于华纳音乐集团。故选C。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Experts estimate that Warner/Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.” Nelson’s lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years for use of the “Happy Birthday” song.可知专家估计,华纳音乐集团旗下的出版部门Warner/Chappell每年从《祝你生日快乐》的授权费中获利约二百万美元。Nelson的律师要求纽约市的一家法院要求华纳和Chappell返还他们在过去四年中因使用这首“生日快乐”歌曲而收取的费用。由此可知,如果胜诉,华纳音乐集团需要退回四年的使用费,每年约二百万美元,故四年为八百万美元。故选A。
C
We already know that exercise is good for our bodies. Daily exercise fights the loss of muscle tone and flexibility that tends to increase slowly with age. And it turns out that it has the same fountain-of-youth effects on our brains.
Studies show that over time our minds also become less nimble. We lose the ability to process new information or switch between mental tasks quickly — and now we know why.
A recent study examined nearly 100 individual studies on exercise and brain function and discovered exercising an average of 52 hours over six months is “associated with improved cognitive (认知的) performance in older adults with and without cognitive damage.” The type of exercises that are beneficial include aerobic, strength-training and mind-body exercises like yoga or tai chi.
In previous studies, researchers from Japan’s University of Tsukuba wanted to explore this idea by looking at the effect of exercise on the weakening of the brain. They tested the oxygen ability of 60 Japanese men between the ages of 64 and 75 who did not show any signs of dementia (痴呆) or other mental symptoms. Next, they looked at the brain activity of each man as he completed a mental task. They found that the fitter a participant was, the less brain power he used to complete the tasks when compared with his out-of-shape peers, which made him more efficient.
Although much research is focused on how exercise may benefit an aging brain, exercise offers brain health benefits at almost any age, and this includes children. A review of 14 studies showed that more physically active schoolchildren do better academically. Exercise actually causes your brain to grow in size. So get moving and keep moving for best results.
8. The underlined word “nimble” in Paragraph 2 most probably means__________.
A. dull-witted B. single-minded
C. absent-minded D. quick-witted
9. What can we infer about the participants’ less-active peers?
A. They had significant brain advantages.
B. Their brains were younger than their age.
C. Their cognitive performance would decline.
D. They had a quick mind when doing the task.
10. How does the author support his idea?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By analyzing study results.
C. By describing the processes.
D. By telling peers’experiences.
11. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Exercise is beneficial for your bodies.
B. Exercise can benefit your brain health.
C. Exercise is especially good for dementia.
D. Exercise may lower your risk of mental problems.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。锻炼可以应对肌肉张力和灵活性的丧失,同样锻炼也能使大脑保持年轻。本文通过介绍多项研究结果,阐述了锻炼也能让我们的大脑健康受益这一观点。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。第一段提到,肌肉的张力和灵活性往往随着我们变老而增长缓慢。此处作类比,指随着时间的推移我们的思维也变得不那么灵活和敏捷。quick-witted “机智灵敏的”与nimble词义匹配。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句They found that the fitter a participant was, the less brain power he used to complete the tasks when compared with his out-of-shape peers, which made him more efficient.可知,他们发现,与身材走样的同伴相比,身体越健康的参与者完成任务时所使用的脑力就越少,这使得他的效率更高。即与身材不佳的同龄人相比,实验参与者身体越健康,他们的认知能力就越强。由此推知,锻炼少的人,其认知能力就会衰弱。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A recent study”、第四段“In previous studies”及最后一段“A review of 14 studies”部分可看出,作者是通过分析这些研究的结果来支撑其观点的。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要通过介绍多项研究结果,阐述了锻炼也能让我们的大脑健康受益这一观点。根据文中的关键句“... and now we know why.”和“Exercise actually causes your brain to grow in size.”可知,本文的主题为“运动有益于你的大脑健康。”故选B。
D
The search for beauty spans centuries. Paintings of Egyptians dating back to 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.
There is at least one good reason for the desire (渴望) to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.
But what exactly is beauty? It’s difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.
The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists (心理学家) , men show a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously (无意识地) tells men and women that these features — the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders — equal health and genetic well-being.
Not everyone thinks the same way. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin, but is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists’ answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and changes around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.
For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical features considered universally attractive, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder (观看者).
12. People’s ideas about beauty ________.
A. can be easily described
B. are based upon strict standard
C. have existed since ancient times
D. have little influence on a person’s success
13. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study ________.
A. were rated for their appearance
B. showed a preference for women with larger eyes
C. were shown photos of a group of college students
D. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones
14. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. the ideas of beauty change as people grow up
B. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches
C. the search for beauty is the power to inspire the beholder
D. the understanding of beauty is rooted in cultural backgrounds
15. What can probably be the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Beauty B. The Mystery of Beauty
C. The Standards for Beauty D. The Attitudes toward Beauty
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人类对美的追求由来已久,探讨了美的普遍性判断与文化差异,说明美没有统一标准。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The search for beauty spans centuries. Paintings of Egyptians dating back to 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup.(对美的追求跨越了数个世纪。追溯到4000年前的埃及画作显示,男女都会涂指甲、化妆。)”可知,人类对美的看法从古时候就已经存在了。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.(在研究中,婴儿注视有吸引力面孔的时间比没有吸引力的面孔更长。)”可知,研究中的婴儿能够区分有吸引力和没有吸引力的面孔。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another.(在一种文化中被认为有吸引力的事物,在另一种文化中可能并非如此。)”可知,人们对美的理解根植于不同的文化背景之中。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical features considered universally attractive, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard.(但很难准确描述是什么让一个人对另一个人有吸引力。尽管某些身体特征似乎被普遍认为有吸引力,但美并不总是遵循单一统一的标准。)”可知,文章围绕“美”展开,探讨了美的起源、本能判断、文化差异与标准不一,揭示了美的神秘之处,因此“美的奥秘”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 12.5分)

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了我国自主研发的北斗定位系统,包括其发展、作用、运行模式、优势等等。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分和句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词have been sent,无连词,可推断这是一个简单句,所以设空处用作非谓语动词,在句中充当状语;设空处与逻辑主语Beidou satellites之间是主动关系,所以要用现在分词。故填forming。
【37题详解】
考查谓语动词时态。分析句子成分可知,句中缺少谓语动词,可推断设空处充当谓语;根据时间状语In late 2012可知,应该用一般过去时。故填began。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分和句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词has,无连词,可推断这是一个简单句,所以设空处用作非谓语动词,在句中充当宾语补足语;设空处与逻辑主语Beidou satellites之间是被动关系,所以要用过去分词。故填launched。
【39题详解】
考查被动语态。分析句子成分可知,句子缺少谓语动词,可推断设空处充当谓语;结合文章时态可知,应该用一般现在时;主语it指的是BDS,与expect之间是被动关系,所以要用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is expected。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。设空处位于不定式to serve后面,充当宾语,且此处指的是全世界的用户,所以应该用作复数形式泛指多个用户。故填users。
【41题详解】
考查副词用法。设空处位于非谓语动词to run后面,起修饰作用,修饰动词要用副词形式。故填properly。
【42题详解】
考查表语从句连接词。句意:这是它如何运作(的模式)。分析句子成分和结构可知,句中有系动词is和谓语动词works,可推断含有两个句子,所以设空处需要填入连接词;从句位于is后面,是表语从句;根据后文的描述可知,这里说明的是运行模式,即如何运行,所以要用连接副词how。故填how。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子“a signal receiver on Earth measures its distance from at least three satellites by recording the amount of time it takes 8 (receive) their signals”可知,句中含有省略关系词that/which的定语从句it takes 8 (receive) their signals,修饰先行词time;关系词在从句中代替time充当takes的宾语,此处考查固定句型it takes time to do sth,意为“做某事花费多少时间”。故填to receive。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:因为有这么多的卫星,BDS可以提供一种更精确的计算结果。calculation在句中意为计算结果,是可数名词,前面没有限定词,无特指,需要填不定冠词;more第一个发音为辅音发音,所以要用a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:尽管GPS提供到米的定位精确度,但是BDS把误差减少到了厘米。根据句意可知,此处考查固定表达reduce...to意为“减少到”。故填to。
第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节,满分20分)
任务型阅读
Last month, during my trip to a unique nature reserve in the deep mountains, I had an unforgettable experience that changed my view of wildlife. The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the valley. While I was walking slowly along a quiet, narrow path, a sudden, sharp sound from the thick, tall grass attracted my attention. Curiously, I approached the bushes quietly and was shocked to find a small deer trapped in a discarded plastic net. Its leg was bleeding, and it looked frightened, its eyes filled with terror.
The deer struggled in panic, trying to break free from the “plastic trap” but only making the net tighter. I knew I couldn’t just leave it there in such a dangerous situation, as night was falling and predators might be nearby. Driven by a strong sense of responsibility, I insisted on helping the poor creature, despite the risk of being kicked by its powerful legs. Without hesitation, I knelt down, took out a small knife from my pocket, and began to cut the net with great concentration.
My guide, Tashi, a knowledgeable ranger (护林员)who had worked in the forest for years, hurried over to help. He gently covered the deer’s eyes with his jacket and helped me hold its head to keep it calm. During the whole tiring process, I felt extremely concerned, fearing that the wound might be too deep for the deer to survive on its own.
Fortunately, after we carefully cleaned and tied the wound, the deer finally stood up, shaking its body. It looked at us for a second, then turned around and disappeared into the deep, green woods. I stood there for a long time, watching the empty path where it had just been. At that moment, the forest was quiet and peaceful again. I looked at the sunset and began to think about the relationship between humans and the wild…

Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson was sued (起诉) for $1,500 for having a song “Happy Birthday to You” sung in the movie she’s making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a TV show, a book, or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright for “Happy Birthday to You” since 1988.
“I never thought the song was owned by anyone,” Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York Times. “I thought it belonged to everyone.”
Nelson’s movie is a documentary—a film that uses pictures and/or interviews with people to create a factual report of real-life events—and is actually about the history of the “Happy Birthday” song itself.
Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters’ song.
A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the “Happy Birthday to You” lyrics. Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the “Happy Birthday” song, but they believe it had been sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.
Nelson’s lawyers say this piece of music’s history proves that “Happy Birthday to You” belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting.
Experts estimate that Warner/Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.” Nelson’s lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years for use of the “Happy Birthday” song.
4. Why did Warner Music Group sue Jennifer Nelson?
A. Because she sold “Happy Birthday to You” for money.
B. Because she secretly used “Happy Birthday to You” song in her film.
C. Because she didn’t own the copyright on “Happy Birthday to You” song.
D. Because she used the “Happy Birthday to You” song without permission.
5. How was the “Happy Birthday” song produced?
A. Someone replaced “happy birthday to you” in the song.
B. It was written by Mildred as a gift for her sister’s birthday in 1893.
C. It was created by someone who used the tune of “Good Morning to All”.
D. People were asked to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in the movie.
6. The history experts’ statement can prove that the “Happy Birthday” song__________.
A. has always been very popular B. was definitely released by the public
C. does not belong to Warner Music Group D. has more than 32 years’ history since 1988
7. If the court supports the claim from Nelson’s lawyers,__________.
A. Warner will return about $8 million B. she can obtain the copyright on the song
C. Warner will have to pay her for her damage D. she can sell the song for about$2 million a year
C
We already know that exercise is good for our bodies. Daily exercise fights the loss of muscle tone and flexibility that tends to increase slowly with age. And it turns out that it has the same fountain-of-youth effects on our brains.
Studies show that over time our minds also become less nimble. We lose the ability to process new information or switch between mental tasks quickly — and now we know why.
A recent study examined nearly 100 individual studies on exercise and brain function and discovered exercising an average of 52 hours over six months is “associated with improved cognitive (认知的) performance in older adults with and without cognitive damage.” The type of exercises that are beneficial include aerobic, strength-training and mind-body exercises like yoga or tai chi.
In previous studies, researchers from Japan’s University of Tsukuba wanted to explore this idea by looking at the effect of exercise on the weakening of the brain. They tested the oxygen ability of 60 Japanese men between the ages of 64 and 75 who did not show any signs of dementia (痴呆) or other mental symptoms. Next, they looked at the brain activity of each man as he completed a mental task. They found that the fitter a participant was, the less brain power he used to complete the tasks when compared with his out-of-shape peers, which made him more efficient.
Although much research is focused on how exercise may benefit an aging brain, exercise offers brain health benefits at almost any age, and this includes children. A review of 14 studies showed that more physically active schoolchildren do better academically. Exercise actually causes your brain to grow in size. So get moving and keep moving for best results.
8. The underlined word “nimble” in Paragraph 2 most probably means__________.
A. dull-witted B. single-minded
C. absent-minded D. quick-witted
9. What can we infer about the participants’ less-active peers?
A. They had significant brain advantages.
B. Their brains were younger than their age.
C. Their cognitive performance would decline.
D. They had a quick mind when doing the task.
10. How does the author support his idea?
A. By making comparisons.

The search for beauty spans centuries. Paintings of Egyptians dating back to 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.
There is at least one good reason for the desire (渴望) to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier.
But what exactly is beauty? It’s difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.
The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists (心理学家) , men show a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously (无意识地) tells men and women that these features — the full lips, clear skin, strong shoulders — equal health and genetic well-being.
Not everyone thinks the same way. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin, but is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists’ answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and changes around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures.
For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical features considered universally attractive, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder (观看者).
12. People’s ideas about beauty ________.
A. can be easily described
B. are based upon strict standard
C. have existed since ancient times
D. have little influence on a person’s success
13. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study ________.
A. were rated for their appearance
B. showed a preference for women with larger eyes
C. were shown photos of a group of college students
D. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones
14. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. the ideas of beauty change as people grow up
B. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches
C. the search for beauty is the power to inspire the beholder
D. the understanding of beauty is rooted in cultural backgrounds
15. What can probably be the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Beauty B. The Mystery of Beauty
C. The Standards for Beauty D. The Attitudes toward Beauty

Last month, during my trip to a unique nature reserve in the deep mountains, I had an unforgettable experience that changed my view of wildlife. The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the valley. While I was walking slowly along a quiet, narrow path, a sudden, sharp sound from the thick, tall grass attracted my attention. Curiously, I approached the bushes quietly and was shocked to find a small deer trapped in a discarded plastic net. Its leg was bleeding, and it looked frightened, its eyes filled with terror.
The deer struggled in panic, trying to break free from the “plastic trap” but only making the net tighter. I knew I couldn’t just leave it there in such a dangerous situation, as night was falling and predators might be nearby. Driven by a strong sense of responsibility, I insisted on helping the poor creature, despite the risk of being kicked by its powerful legs. Without hesitation, I knelt down, took out a small knife from my pocket, and began to cut the net with great concentration.
My guide, Tashi, a knowledgeable ranger (护林员)who had worked in the forest for years, hurried over to help. He gently covered the deer’s eyes with his jacket and helped me hold its head to keep it calm. During the whole tiring process, I felt extremely concerned, fearing that the wound might be too deep for the deer to survive on its own.
Fortunately, after we carefully cleaned and tied the wound, the deer finally stood up, shaking its body. It looked at us for a second, then turned around and disappeared into the deep, green woods. I stood there for a long time, watching the empty path where it had just been. At that moment, the forest was quiet and peaceful again. I looked at the sunset and began to think about the relationship between humans and the wild…
