I recently turned seventy. Seventy is a nice number for a chapter in a book, a score in a game, or a temperature in the summer, but it wasn’t a number I was ready to face in my life. I was stuck with this number and everything it means.
A few days after my birthday, a close friend remarked, “Seventy is the new sixty. ” This statement was meant to be encouraging, but it left me considering the changing meanings of age. Am I truly over the hill, or has society simply shifted the standard for aging? The physical challenges are undeniable. I can no longer run the marathons I once did, and my daily walks are now interrupted by pauses and rest.
Dr. Smith, a renowned gerontologist (老年病学家), often says, “You are not getting older, you are getting more mature.” While this may be true, it doesn’t change the fact that my body is aging, and the aches and pains are more frequent. I appreciate his viewpoint, but I know it’s time to face the realities of aging head-on.
As I step into my seventh decade, I tend to reflect on what it means to age. I see aging as a mixture of resilience and acceptance, a process that requires both fighting against the inevitable and embracing the changes that come. Aging is a natural part of life, and while I may no longer be the athlete I once was, I find new ways to stay active and engaged.
Seventy is a number that once seemed distant, but now it is my present reality. I am reminded of the words of the philosopher: “Old is always fifteen years from now.” This perspective helps me to stay positive, even as I acknowledge the physical limitations that come with age. The best may indeed be yet to come and I am determined to find the beauty in every new chapter.
4. What does the author imply at the beginning?
A. Time flies quickly. B. Only time will tell.
C. Time heals all wounds. D. Aging is a tough reality.
5. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Passing one’s peak. B. Enjoying retirement life.
C. Reaching the top position. D. Facing physical challenges.
6. What can we learn from the author’s reflection on aging?
A. Aging is a contradictory but natural process. B. Aging is a clear decline in mental abilities.
C. There is no need to fight against our aging. D. The author will give up new activities.
7. How does the author feel about the future life?
A. Peaceful. B. Promising. C. Upset. D. Regretful.

The Three Gorges Dam, located on the Yangtze River in China, is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. It is an impressive hydropower project, with over 20 times the energy-generating capacity of the Hoover Dam. Now, China wants to build another revolutionary energy source: a solar array (阵列) in space.
“It is as significant as moving the Three Gorges Dam to a geostationary orbit (地球静止轨道) 36,000km above the Earth,” Long Lehao, a rocket scientist and member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), said in a lecture reported by the South China Morning Post. “This is an incredible project to look forward to.” The space-based solar power (SBSP) stations work by using a system of mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto panels, which then generate electricity. The electricity is then transformed to microwave radiation and beamed to a fixed antenna (天线) on Earth.
SBSP panels are more reliable than the solar panels on your roof because they aren’t affected by seasonal weather or nights. They can generate much more electricity than ground panels, as sunlight is much more intense in space than on Earth’s surface. A recent NASA study even predicted that one model of space-based solar power could generate power for 99% of the year. As Long said in his lecture: “The energy collected in one year will be equal to the total amount of oil that can be extracted from the Earth.”
However, there are a few drawbacks holding space companies back — namely, the sheer size of the project. The solar array is predicted to be a kilometer wide once fully established. To get their array into space, Long and his team are working on developing the Long March-9 (or CZ9) — a reusable heavy-lift rocket with a lifting capacity of at least 150 tons. That’s like lifting a full-grown blue whale into space.
The solar array isn’t the only plan China has for space research — it also plans to reach the Moon and build an International Lunar Research Station in partnership with Russia by 2035.
8. How do the SBSP stations send electricity to Earth?
A. By sending microwaves to a ground receiver.
B. By storing it in batteries and sending them back.
C. By transporting solar panels back to Earth.
D. By sending sound waves through the air.
9. What are the advantages of SBSP over ground-based solar energy?
A. Lower cost and easier maintenance.
B. Higher reliability and productivity.
C. Better stability and greener energy.
D. Greater efficiency and accuracy.
10. How does the author develop the fourth paragraph?
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By listing some examples. D. By explaining problem and solution.
11. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
B. China’s plan to build a solar power station in space.
C. The Three Gorges Dam as a model for space projects.
D. The potential of SBSP stations to replace earth-based plants.
D
Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious? A new study by UNSW Sydney’s Dr Bressel found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle (微妙的) but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences.
The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment. Researchers observed three behavioural types: Sensitives (avoid bad choices), Unawares (adjust strategies after being told their errors) and Compulsives (still make wrong choices even after learning their mistakes). “Some people don’t learn from experience. Even when motivated to avoid harm, they fail to see their behaviour causes problems,” said Dr Bressel.
This study followed past research, which only focused on Australian psychology students, but had key differences: 267 participants from 24 countries (including over 50-year-olds), six-month follow-ups, and post-game surveys on their choices. The same behavioural profiles emerged across cultures and ages. In Australian studies, 35% were Sensitives, 41% Unawares, 23% Compulsives; in the new study, 26% Sensitives, 47% Unawares, 27% Compulsives. Dr Bressel linked more Compulsives to older participants, as cognitive (认知的) flexibility declines with age. Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioural profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel. “These aren’t just random mistakes. They’re almost like personality types. This is not to say they’re fixed, just that they may require intervention to break.” Researchers confirmed Compulsives’ choices weren’t habits: participants could explain their wrong choices. This points to a deeper issue — a failure to integrate new knowledge to minimise bad outcomes.
Dr Bressel noted real life is more complex than the game, but the pattern of ignoring experience and information matches compulsory behaviours. The research has important implications for public health messaging. Many campaigns rely on providing information — about smoking, drinking or financial risks — with the assumption that people will act on it. But this study suggests that for some, information alone isn’t enough. “Standard information campaigns work for most — but not for everyone,” Dr Bressel said. “For compulsive individuals, we may need different intervention.”
12. What were participants expected to do in the online learning game?
A. Make choices. B. Win awards. C. Observe behaviour. D. Identify errors.
13. What is a striking finding of the new study?
A. Cognition declines with age. B. Unawares account for the largest.
C. Behavioural patterns are consistent. D. Mistakes influence personality types.
14. What does the author suggest for public health campaigns?
A. Increasing lecture frequency. B. Reviewing behavioural errors.
C. Developing tailored strategies. D. Enhancing information accuracy.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Learning Risks, Behaving Safer. B. Knowing Better, Doing Worse.
C. Recognizing Habits, Acting Well. D. Understanding Rules, Breaking All.
Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. ____16____
On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. ____17____ According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences.
____18____ First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments.
What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. ____19____ This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress.
But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. ____20____ It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are.
In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope.
A. But why do we love nostalgia so much?
B. This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us.
C. Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs.
D. However, psychology experts say there’s more to it.
E. It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic.
F. Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy.
G. Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life.

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。
Brave Dog wasn’t always his name. In the beginning, he was just Stray Dog(流浪狗).
I saw him for the first time one evening when Mattie and I went to milk the cows. He was all dusty coat and skinny-ribbed(皮包骨头的), hardly worth a second glance. But Mattie made a beeline for him, reaching out to pet him, “What a pretty dog!” The dog looked unsure, as if he weren’t used to being spoken to kindly. I grabbed Mattie’s arm. “Keep away from that stray dog,” I told her, “You know how Dad feels about stray dogs.” “Don’t call him Stray Dog,” said Mattie. “He’s a pretty dog.” The dog licked her face and put a paw on her shoulder. Mattie threw her arms around his neck. “I’m keeping him.” She declared, “I’m calling him Pretty Dog.”
To Mattie, he was Pretty Dog. She talked to him, played with him and fed him secretly. He responded by following her like a shadow when no one else was around. To the rest of us, he was Stray dog. We did everything we could to chase him away, but he kept coming back. One day, Dad accidentally caught Mattie sneaking Stray Dog a piece of leftover roast meat. “Mattie! Get away from That Dog!” Dad shouted, “Where’s your common sense, girl? We don’t waste good food on stray animals. You see That Dog again, you send him away!” So, Stray Dog became That Dog. One cold winter day, Dad set off to go ice fishing. Matti e had begged to go, but Dad said no. “You’ll only fuss(对…大惊小怪 )about cold,” he said, tweaking(捏, 扯)her pigtail(辫子). “I want to do some serious fishing.”
Dad came home a few hours later. “Got some fine ones,” he shouted from the porch. “Come see!” Mom and I came out. “Where’s Mattie?” Dad asked. Mom and I looked at each other in confusion, both thinking Mattie was with the other. Then, Ma strode to the closet. “Her coat and boots are gone.” Mom turned to Dad with troubled eyes, “Maybe she went after you.” Worry lines creased(弄皱)Dad’s face. “She never came to the lake. Come on, we need to find her.”
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In the lane, we found Mattie’s boot prints following Dad’s big ones.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者步入七十岁后起初难以接受衰老现实,经朋友劝慰、专家观点启发,逐渐反思并接纳衰老,秉持积极心态,期待未来人生新篇章。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I recently turned seventy. Seventy is a nice number for a chapter in a book, a score in a game, or a temperature in the summer, but it wasn’t a number I was ready to face in my life. I was stuck with this number and everything it means.(我最近刚满七十岁。七十这个数字对于一本书的章节、一场游戏的得分或者夏天的气温来说都是一个不错的数字,但对于我的人生而言,却并非我愿意面对的数字。我被这个数字以及它所代表的一切所困住)”可知,作者在开头处意在表达衰老是一个残酷的事实。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“or has society simply shifted the standard for aging(或者说,社会是否只是改变了衡量衰老的标准呢?)”以及划线词后文“The physical challenges are undeniable. I can no longer run the marathons I once did, and my daily walks are now interrupted by pauses and rest.(身体上的挑战是显而易见的。我再也无法像过去那样参加马拉松比赛了,而且我每天的散步现在也会因停顿和休息而被打断)”可知,第二段中作者疑惑“自己是否真的over the hill,还是社会改变了衰老标准”,结合后文提到的“无法再跑马拉松、散步需要休息”等身体衰退的表现,可推断该短语意为过了人生巅峰、开始走下坡路,故划线词意思是“达到巅峰之后的阶段”。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“As I step into my seventh decade, I tend to reflect on what it means to age. I see aging as a mixture of resilience and acceptance, a process that requires both fighting against the inevitable and embracing the changes that come. Aging is a natural part of life, and while I may no longer be the athlete I once was, I find new ways to stay active and engaged.(当我步入人生的第七个十年之际,我开始思考衰老的真正含义。在我看来,衰老是坚韧与接纳的结合,这是一个既需要对抗不可避免的变化,又要欣然接受随之而来的改变的过程。衰老是生命中自然的一部分,尽管我可能不再是曾经的那个健壮运动员了,但我找到了新的方式来保持活力和参与其中)”可知,作者认为衰老是一个既矛盾又自然的过程。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The best may indeed be yet to come and I am determined to find the beauty in every new chapter.(也许最美好的事物还在前方等着我们,而我决心要在每一个新的篇章中发现其中的美)”可知,作者认为未来的生活是充满希望的。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是中国计划在太空建造太阳能电站(SBSP)的宏伟构想及其相关进展与意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The space-based solar power (SBSP) stations work by using a system of mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto panels, which then generate electricity. The electricity is then transformed to microwave radiation and beamed to a fixed antenna (天线) on Earth.(太空太阳能电站(SBSP)的工作原理是利用一组镜子将阳光聚焦到面板上,进而产生电能。随后,电能被转化为微波辐射,并传输至地球上的固定天线。)”可知,太空太阳能电站通过向地面接收器发送微波来向地球发送电力。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“SBSP panels are more reliable than the solar panels on your roof because they aren’t affected by seasonal weather or nights. They can generate much more electricity than ground panels, as sunlight is much more intense in space than on Earth’s surface.(太空太阳能电池板比你屋顶上的太阳能电池板更可靠,因为它们不受季节性天气或夜晚的影响。它们能比地面电池板产生更多的电能,因为太空中的阳光强度远高于地球表面。)”可知,太空太阳能与地面太阳能相比,优势是更高的可靠性和生产率。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“However, there are a few drawbacks holding space companies back — namely, the sheer size of the project. The solar array is predicted to be a kilometer wide once fully established. To get their array into space, Long and his team are working on developing the Long March-9 (or CZ9) — a reusable heavy-lift rocket with a lifting capacity of at least 150 tons. That’s like lifting a full-grown blue whale into space.(然而,仍有一些缺点阻碍着航天公司的发展——其中主要就是项目的规模之庞大。据预测,太阳能阵列完全建成后宽度将达一公里。为了将阵列送入太空,龙乐豪及其团队正在研发长征九号(或称CZ9)——一种可重复使用的重型运载火箭,其运载能力至少为150吨。这相当于将一头成年蓝鲸送入太空。)”可知,第四段是通过解释问题和解决方案来展开的,故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Now, China wants to build another revolutionary energy source: a solar array (阵列) in space.(现在,中国想要建造另一种革命性的能源:太空太阳能阵列。)”可知,本文主要讲的是中国计划在太空建造太阳能电站(SBSP)的宏伟构想及其相关进展与意义,因此主旨是B选项“China’s plan to build a solar power station in space.(中国计划在太空中建造太阳能发电站。)”。故选B。
D
Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious? A new study by UNSW Sydney’s Dr Bressel found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle (微妙的) but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences.
The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment. Researchers observed three behavioural types: Sensitives (avoid bad choices), Unawares (adjust strategies after being told their errors) and Compulsives (still make wrong choices even after learning their mistakes). “Some people don’t learn from experience. Even when motivated to avoid harm, they fail to see their behaviour causes problems,” said Dr Bressel.
This study followed past research, which only focused on Australian psychology students, but had key differences: 267 participants from 24 countries (including over 50-year-olds), six-month follow-ups, and post-game surveys on their choices. The same behavioural profiles emerged across cultures and ages. In Australian studies, 35% were Sensitives, 41% Unawares, 23% Compulsives; in the new study, 26% Sensitives, 47% Unawares, 27% Compulsives. Dr Bressel linked more Compulsives to older participants, as cognitive (认知的) flexibility declines with age. Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioural profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel. “These aren’t just random mistakes. They’re almost like personality types. This is not to say they’re fixed, just that they may require intervention to break.” Researchers confirmed Compulsives’ choices weren’t habits: participants could explain their wrong choices. This points to a deeper issue — a failure to integrate new knowledge to minimise bad outcomes.
Dr Bressel noted real life is more complex than the game, but the pattern of ignoring experience and information matches compulsory behaviours. The research has important implications for public health messaging. Many campaigns rely on providing information — about smoking, drinking or financial risks — with the assumption that people will act on it. But this study suggests that for some, information alone isn’t enough. “Standard information campaigns work for most — but not for everyone,” Dr Bressel said. “For compulsive individuals, we may need different intervention.”
12. What were participants expected to do in the online learning game?
A. Make choices. B. Win awards. C. Observe behaviour. D. Identify errors.
13. What is a striking finding of the new study?
A. Cognition declines with age. B. Unawares account for the largest.
C. Behavioural patterns are consistent. D. Mistakes influence personality types.
14. What does the author suggest for public health campaigns?
A. Increasing lecture frequency. B. Reviewing behavioural errors.
C. Developing tailored strategies. D. Enhancing information accuracy.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Learning Risks, Behaving Safer. B. Knowing Better, Doing Worse.
C. Recognizing Habits, Acting Well. D. Understanding Rules, Breaking All.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了悉尼新南威尔士大学研究发现,部分人明知后果仍做有害选择,因无法将行为与后果关联,其行为模式跨文化年龄一致,公共卫生宣传需定制策略。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details an online learning game where participants were asked to click between two planets for rewards or to avoid punishment.(这篇近期发表于《自然·通讯·心理学》的论文描述了一款在线学习游戏,该游戏要求参与者在两个星球之间点击以获取奖励,或者避免受到惩罚)”可知,参与者在这款在线学习游戏中被期望做出选择。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Interestingly, when participants were invited back to play the same game six months later, most showed the same behavioural profile. “That was striking,” said Bressel.(有趣的是,当参与者在六个月后再次被邀请参与同样的游戏时,大多数人的行为表现都与之前一致。“这令人印象深刻。”布雷塞尔说道)”可知,这项新研究的显著发现是行为模式保持一致。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““Standard information campaigns work for most — but not for everyone,” Dr Bressel said. “For compulsive individuals, we may need different intervention.”(布雷塞尔博士表示:“常规的信息宣传对大多数人有效,但并非对所有人都适用。对于那些有强迫性行为的人,我们可能需要采取不同的干预措施。”)”可知,作者建议公共卫生宣传不能一刀切,需为“强迫型”人群制定“量身定制的策略”。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Why do some people keep making harmful choices, even when the outcomes are obvious? A new study by UNSW Sydney’s Dr Bressel found that for a small group, the issue isn’t lack of motivation or ability, but rather a subtle (微妙的) but persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences.(为什么有些人会不断做出有害的选择,即便结果已经一目了然?新南威尔士大学悉尼分校的布雷塞尔博士开展的一项研究发现,对于一小部分人而言,问题并不在于缺乏动力或能力,而是在于他们一直未能将自己的行为与其后果联系起来)”结合文章主要说明了悉尼新南威尔士大学研究发现,部分人明知后果仍做有害选择,因无法将行为与后果关联,其行为模式跨文化年龄一致,公共卫生宣传需定制策略。可知,B选项“明知道后果,却做出有害选择”最符合文章标题。故选B。
Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. ____16____
On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. ____17____ According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences.
____18____ First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments.
What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. ____19____ This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress.
But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. ____20____ It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are.
In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope.
A. But why do we love nostalgia so much?
B. This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us.
C. Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs.
D. However, psychology experts say there’s more to it.
E. It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic.
F. Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy.
G. Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life.

【答案】范文:
Dear fellow students,
I’m honored to share the results of our recent survey on weekly exercise duration. 40% of us exercise 2-4 hours a week, while 28% reach 4-5 hours. But 18% exercise less than 2 hours, and only 14% meet the recommended standard of over 5 hours.
This outcome is disappointing. Regular exercise is essential for both health and study, yet heavy workloads and lack of motivation lead many to neglect it.
I suggest we set aside more time for sports and organize fun games to boost enthusiasm. A strong body supports a sharp mind. Let’s take action now!

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。
Brave Dog wasn’t always his name. In the beginning, he was just Stray Dog(流浪狗).
I saw him for the first time one evening when Mattie and I went to milk the cows. He was all dusty coat and skinny-ribbed(皮包骨头的), hardly worth a second glance. But Mattie made a beeline for him, reaching out to pet him, “What a pretty dog!” The dog looked unsure, as if he weren’t used to being spoken to kindly. I grabbed Mattie’s arm. “Keep away from that stray dog,” I told her, “You know how Dad feels about stray dogs.” “Don’t call him Stray Dog,” said Mattie. “He’s a pretty dog.” The dog licked her face and put a paw on her shoulder. Mattie threw her arms around his neck. “I’m keeping him.” She declared, “I’m calling him Pretty Dog.”
To Mattie, he was Pretty Dog. She talked to him, played with him and fed him secretly. He responded by following her like a shadow when no one else was around. To the rest of us, he was Stray dog. We did everything we could to chase him away, but he kept coming back. One day, Dad accidentally caught Mattie sneaking Stray Dog a piece of leftover roast meat. “Mattie! Get away from That Dog!” Dad shouted, “Where’s your common sense, girl? We don’t waste good food on stray animals. You see That Dog again, you send him away!” So, Stray Dog became That Dog. One cold winter day, Dad set off to go ice fishing. Matti e had begged to go, but Dad said no. “You’ll only fuss(对…大惊小怪 )about cold,” he said, tweaking(捏, 扯)her pigtail(辫子). “I want to do some serious fishing.”
Dad came home a few hours later. “Got some fine ones,” he shouted from the porch. “Come see!” Mom and I came out. “Where’s Mattie?” Dad asked. Mom and I looked at each other in confusion, both thinking Mattie was with the other. Then, Ma strode to the closet. “Her coat and boots are gone.” Mom turned to Dad with troubled eyes, “Maybe she went after you.” Worry lines creased(弄皱)Dad’s face. “She never came to the lake. Come on, we need to find her.”

【答案】One possible version
In the lane we found Mattie’s boot prints following Dad’s big ones. But when the prints reached the road, there was nothing left to follow. We started to search. Minutes turned into hours as early evening darkness crept across the sky. Every time we called, “Mattie! Mattie! Where are you?” and no answer came. I felt as if a fist were squeezing my heart. Ma was shivering, but I knew it was from fear, not cold.
Suddenly some dog barks came from the distance. “It’s That Dog!” Following the barks, we found Mattie curling up under a fallen pine tree. That Dog was with Mattie, wrapped around her like a bearskin rug. Ma was all tears and scolding. Pa was hugs and kisses. Mattie spoke up, “We took the wrong road. Then I fell and hurt my foot so I couldn’t walk. Pretty Dog stayed with me and kept me warm. He kept licking me face. I knew he was telling me we’d be found. I don’t remember which one of us started calling him Brave Dog, but that was his name from then on. He became as much as a member of the family as any of us was.
