Today, I want to talk about something we all experience, but rarely connect to the bigger picture. weather. Last summer, I recorded the highest temperatures in thirty years. July alone broke seven daily records. I was shocked to see my electricity bills double. I was using air conditioning almost twenty four hours a day. But what worried me most was noticing how many of our local trees had dried up and died. This got me thinking, if we don't act now, our summer will only get hotter. So I started a small campaign in my community encouraging people to plant shade trees around their homes. It's not a huge step, but it's beginning. I'm not saying we can change the climate overnight, if only IT. We're that simple. But every tree we plant today will call our streets tomorrow. So here's my suggestion this weekend, buy a Young tree and planted in your yard. You'll not only save on cooling costs, but you'll also leave a Greener city for your children.

I’d like to think I’m a fairly modern guy. I use a smartwatch, order groceries online, and can even park using my car’s sensors. So, when my 15-year-old daughter, Emma, declared my wardrobe a “disaster zone” and offered a “digital makeover,” I foolishly agreed.
It started with a simple app. Emma took photos of all my clothes, and the app promised the perfect daily outfit based on the weather, my calendar, and a color-matching algorithm (算法). I was impressed. For the first week, it was a game-changer. “Wear the blue shirt with the grey trousers,” the app would command, and I’d stride into the office feeling like a fashion icon.
Trouble began subtly. The app, perhaps influenced by Emma’'s own tastes, started suggesting items I’d forgotten — a pair of bright orange shorts I’d bought for a holiday ten years ago. When I ignored it, the app lowered my “style score”, meaningless but frustrating. Then, the weather update failed, insisting snow in July and telling me to wear my heaviest coat. My colleagues thought I had lost my mind. I tried to override the app, but Emma had locked me out of “Expert Mode.”
Feeling defeated, I confessed to my wife. She laughed and reminded me of something I’d forgotten: I don’t have a style score; I have a mirror. I don’t have an algorithm for rain; I have a weather app on my phone. And most importantly, I don’t need a digital Emma; I have a real one, and her opinion matters far more than any app’s.
So, I uninstalled the app. My wardrobe is back to its old, familiar chaos. And it feels just right. The only opinion that still counts is the one I hear from the hallway every morning: “Dad, you’re wearing that?”
24. How did the author find the app’s first-week suggestions?
A. Confusing and risky. B. Helpful and exciting.
C. Practical and creative. D. Complex and costly.
25. Why does the author mention the shorts and the coat in paragraph 3?
A. To show the app’s absurd advice. B. To prove the app learned his habits.
C. To explain his need for style score. D. To suggest the app was hard to use.
26. How does the author’s wife view the app?
A. It needs improvement badly. B. It replaces human judgement.
C. It makes unreliable predictions. D. It serves as a reference at best.
27. What message is conveyed in the text?
A. Digital tools can ruin our daily style. B. Teenagers know more about technology.
C. Real-life connections beat digital advice. D. Wardrobes should not be managed by apps.
C
Before full sentences, human language may have relied on just two words at a time. According to new research published in PNAS Nexus, the earliest form of language used simple verb-noun pairings like “catch fish” or “throw spear.” There were no tense markers, no clear subjects or objects, just a concise way to express action. That simple structure was enough for early humans, for whom speed and clarity mattered more than precision.
Traces of this early system still exist today. Linguists call them “living fossils” — words like “killjoy,” “pickpocket,” and “crybaby” combine a verb and a noun into a single compound word. What sets them apart is how loosely they follow modern grammar. In “pickpocket,” it is unclear who is doing the action. That ambiguity reflects an earlier stage of language, before grammar became fully structured. Similar constructions appear across languages, showing they are not mere accidents but echoes of an early way of building meaning.
These early combinations extended far beyond mere action descriptions; they expanded what language could do. By pairing concrete words, people could express abstract ideas. A phrase like “time flies” stretches literal meaning into metaphor, opening the door to more complex thought. That same mechanism (机制) explains humor — unexpected word combinations create surprise, which is often the origin of humor.
This early language also played a role in social competition. The ability to create clever, memorable combinations helped individuals gain social advantage. Quick, expressive language could establish status or challenge opponents. As one researcher put it, this reflected a kind of “survival of the sharpest.”
Over time, these simple two-word structures became the foundation for more complex grammar. Even as language grew more complex, those early building blocks never disappeared. They remain hidden in modern speech — small but powerful traces of how human language began.
28. What characterized the earliest form of language?
A. Complex grammar. B. Verb-noun pairings. C. Full sentences. D. Tense markers.
29. What does the underlined word “ambiguity” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Simplicity of rules. B. Depth of meaning. C. Complexity of form. D. Lack of clarity.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Functions of humor. B. Origin of abstract thought.
C. Features of metaphors. D. Power of word combinations.
31. What is the main function of the last paragraph?
A. To stress the structures’ historical role. B. To introduce new evidence for the research.
C. To explain grammar’s rapid development. D. To question the findings of previous studies.
D
Nearly half of Americans and around 40% of Britons now use smartwatches, smart rings, or phone apps to track their sleep. But are these devices accurate? And do they actually help? A new study published in Nature found a U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and biological ageing, which provides a standard to judge whether the sleep-tracking tools work properly. Using data from roughly 500,000 people, researchers discovered that those who slept between 6.4 and 7.8 hours per night showed slower ageing than those who slept either more or less.
Sleep trackers promise to help users hit this sweet spot. Most trackers distinguish sleep from wakefulness fairly well. Several studies have compared them to polysomnography (多导睡眠监测) — the gold standard that uses monitors to record eye movements, brain activity and heart rate. A 2024 paper found that three popular wearables agreed with polysomnography about 95% of the time in telling sleep from wakefulness.
However, trackers become less reliable when identifying different sleep stages. A good night requires cycling between REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep and several stages of non-REM sleep. Wearables match polysomnography on sleep-stage classification only 50-80% of the time. “That earns a C+ to B+,” says Harvard scientist Rebecca Robbins. Yet many devices still include these inaccurate readings in their sleep scores.
Despite trackers’ shortcomings, most sleep researchers view them positively. They say the devices give them a better, more objective sense of how long they slept. Plus, they do seem to improve sleep habits. In a survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine 55% of adults who reported using sleep trackers said they had changed their behaviour after learning from the data. One small study, published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine in 2020, found that wearing a sleep tracker for a week improved self-reported sleep quality.
Too much data can have downsides, though. Unlike trying to eat healthily or exercise, putting more thought and effort into sleeping can backfire. As many as 30% of sleep-tracker users report feeling anxious about their data — and that anxiety can feed into a vicious cycle, since concern about poor sleep is itself one of the most common causes of sleepless nights. But sleep data is not worth losing sleep over. There is a simpler alternative: whether you wake up feeling rested is the best indicator of how good your night actually was.
32. What is the key finding of the new study?
A. Longer sleep ensures health. B. Sleep duration impacts aging.
C. Middle-aged people sleep less. D. Sleep trackers are widely used.
33. What can be inferred about sleep trackers?
A. They misjudge sleep stages. B. They match the gold standard.
C. They exactly track brain waves. D. They poorly sense wakefulness.
34. What does the author suggest for judging sleep?
A. Ignoring sleep data. B. Listening to your body.
C. Using simpler devices. D. Relying on trackers’ scores.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. New Findings on Sleep Cycles. B. Ways to Judge Sleep Quality.
C. Sleep Trackers: Help or Harm? D. Can Sleep Data Cause Anxiety?

67. 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。
It was a bright, unseasonably warm Saturday in late April when 32-year-old Bennett Reinhardt and his childhood friend Mary decided to go kayaking (皮划艇) on the Elk River, a winding, fast-moving waterway that cuts through the hills of northern Alabama. The plan was simple: paddle a gentle stretch, enjoy the sunshine, and be back by mid-afternoon. Neither had any idea the day would turn into a fight for survival.
The trouble started almost immediately. The river, swollen from days of heavy rain, was running much faster than usual. Within minutes of launching, the current grabbed their kayaks and swept them downstream far quicker than they’d anticipated. Before they knew it, they’d drifted into a narrow, rocky gorge (峡谷) known locally as “The Narrows”.
Panic set in as Bennett’s kayak crashed into a rock and turned over. He hit the water hard, the cold current instantly stealing his breath. Mary, who was just ahead, managed to paddle to the bank and climb to safety, but Bennett was gone — swept downstream, bouncing off rocks, his body rolling in the icy water.
Some 200 yards downstream, Bennett finally managed to grab onto a small tree growing out of the riverbank. The tree he clung to was small, its roots barely holding in the soft soil. Each surge of current pulled at his body, threatening to tear him loose. Bennett’s hands were numb, his muscles shaking from hypothermia (失温), his mind foggy from the shock. He clung there, gasping, as the water raged past. He shouted for help, but the roaring current drowned most of his voice. His strength was fading fast, and he knew he couldn’t hold on much longer. “Please,” he whispered, “someone help me.”
Tom Carter, a construction worker who lived a half-mile from the river, was working in his yard. He had lived there his whole life and had pulled more than one careless paddler out of trouble.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右。
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: On hearing the frantic shouts, Tom grabbed a rope and headed toward the water.

Paragraph 2: Moments later, Mary arrived and saw Bennett lying on the muddy bank.

【答案】18. A 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】 W: Good evening, everyone. Welcome to our weekly environmental corner. Today, I want to talk about something we all experience but rarely connect to the bigger picture — weather. Last summer, I recorded the highest temperatures in thirty years. July alone broke seven daily records. I was shocked to see my electricity bills double. I was using air conditioning almost 24 hours a day. But what worried me most was noticing how many of our local trees had dried up and died. This got me thinking: if we don’t act now, our summers will only get hotter. So I started a small campaign in my community, encouraging people to plant shade trees around their homes. It’s not a huge step, but it’s a beginning. I’m not saying we can change the climate overnight — if only it were that simple. But every tree we plant today will cool our streets tomorrow. So here’s my suggestion: this weekend, buy a young tree, and plant it in your yard. You’ll not only save on cooling costs, but you’ll also leave a greener city for your children. Thank you for listening.

B
I’d like to think I’m a fairly modern guy. I use a smartwatch, order groceries online, and can even park using my car’s sensors. So, when my 15-year-old daughter, Emma, declared my wardrobe a “disaster zone” and offered a “digital makeover,” I foolishly agreed.
It started with a simple app. Emma took photos of all my clothes, and the app promised the perfect daily outfit based on the weather, my calendar, and a color-matching algorithm (算法). I was impressed. For the first week, it was a game-changer. “Wear the blue shirt with the grey trousers,” the app would command, and I’d stride into the office feeling like a fashion icon.
Trouble began subtly. The app, perhaps influenced by Emma’'s own tastes, started suggesting items I’d forgotten — a pair of bright orange shorts I’d bought for a holiday ten years ago. When I ignored it, the app lowered my “style score”, meaningless but frustrating. Then, the weather update failed, insisting snow in July and telling me to wear my heaviest coat. My colleagues thought I had lost my mind. I tried to override the app, but Emma had locked me out of “Expert Mode.”
Feeling defeated, I confessed to my wife. She laughed and reminded me of something I’d forgotten: I don’t have a style score; I have a mirror. I don’t have an algorithm for rain; I have a weather app on my phone. And most importantly, I don’t need a digital Emma; I have a real one, and her opinion matters far more than any app’s.
So, I uninstalled the app. My wardrobe is back to its old, familiar chaos. And it feels just right. The only opinion that still counts is the one I hear from the hallway every morning: “Dad, you’re wearing that?”
24. How did the author find the app’s first-week suggestions?
A. Confusing and risky. B. Helpful and exciting.
C. Practical and creative. D. Complex and costly.
25. Why does the author mention the shorts and the coat in paragraph 3?
A. To show the app’s absurd advice. B. To prove the app learned his habits.
C. To explain his need for style score. D. To suggest the app was hard to use.
26. How does the author’s wife view the app?
A. It needs improvement badly. B. It replaces human judgement.
C. It makes unreliable predictions. D. It serves as a reference at best.
27. What message is conveyed in the text?
A. Digital tools can ruin our daily style. B. Teenagers know more about technology.
C. Real-life connections beat digital advice. D. Wardrobes should not be managed by apps.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述作者在女儿建议下使用穿搭APP,第一周体验很好,但后续APP给出荒唐不合理的穿搭建议。在妻子点拨后作者卸载软件,感悟真实人际评价比数字工具建议更可贵。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“For the first week, it was a game-changer. “Wear the blue shirt with the grey trousers,” the app would command, and I’d stride into the office feeling like a fashion icon.(第一周,这简直是一场变革。“穿上蓝色衬衫配灰色裤子”,App会给出这样的指令,而我昂首阔步地走进办公室时,仿佛成了时尚偶像。)”可知,穿搭App彻底改变了状况,作者走进办公室,感觉自己像时尚达人。 因此推知APP初期建议很有用,让作者很兴奋。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Trouble began subtly. The app, perhaps influenced by Emma’s own tastes, started suggesting items I’d forgotten — a pair of bright orange shorts I’d bought for a holiday ten years ago. When I ignored it, the app lowered my “style score”, meaningless but frustrating. Then, the weather update failed, insisting snow in July and telling me to wear my heaviest coat.(问题从细微处开始。这款应用或许受到艾玛个人品味的影响,开始推荐我早已遗忘的物品——十年前为度假时买的那条亮橙色短裤。当我置之不理时,应用便降低了我的“风格评分”,虽然毫无意义,却令人沮丧。接着,天气更新功能也出了问题,硬是说七月会下雪,并提醒我穿上最厚的外套。)”可知,APP开始推荐我早已遗忘的衣物,之后天气更新出错,七月判定下雪,让作者穿上最厚的外套。因此推断,这两个例子用来证明APP给出的建议很荒谬。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“She laughed and reminded me of something I’d forgotten: I don’t have a style score; I have a mirror. I don’t have an algorithm for rain; I have a weather app on my phone. And most importantly, I don’t need a digital Emma; I have a real one, and her opinion matters far more than any app’s.(她笑了,提醒我一件我早已遗忘的事:我没有风格评分,只有镜子;我没有预测雨水的算法,手机里有天气应用。最重要的是,我不需要一个数字版的艾玛,我有一个真实的人,而她的意见远比任何应用程序都重要得多。)”可推知,作者的妻子认为APP不能替代人,最多只能作为参考。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“And most importantly, I don’t need a digital Emma; I have a real one, and her opinion matters far more than any app’s.(最重要的是,我并不需要一个数字版的艾玛;我有一个真实的她,而她的意见远比任何应用程序都重要。)”和最后一段“So, I uninstalled the app.(所以,我卸载了这个应用。)”作者卸载APP的选择可推知,文章核心表达真实人际交流的看法比APP的数字建议更珍贵。
C
Before full sentences, human language may have relied on just two words at a time. According to new research published in PNAS Nexus, the earliest form of language used simple verb-noun pairings like “catch fish” or “throw spear.” There were no tense markers, no clear subjects or objects, just a concise way to express action. That simple structure was enough for early humans, for whom speed and clarity mattered more than precision.
Traces of this early system still exist today. Linguists call them “living fossils” — words like “killjoy,” “pickpocket,” and “crybaby” combine a verb and a noun into a single compound word. What sets them apart is how loosely they follow modern grammar. In “pickpocket,” it is unclear who is doing the action. That ambiguity reflects an earlier stage of language, before grammar became fully structured. Similar constructions appear across languages, showing they are not mere accidents but echoes of an early way of building meaning.
These early combinations extended far beyond mere action descriptions; they expanded what language could do. By pairing concrete words, people could express abstract ideas. A phrase like “time flies” stretches literal meaning into metaphor, opening the door to more complex thought. That same mechanism (机制) explains humor — unexpected word combinations create surprise, which is often the origin of humor.
This early language also played a role in social competition. The ability to create clever, memorable combinations helped individuals gain social advantage. Quick, expressive language could establish status or challenge opponents. As one researcher put it, this reflected a kind of “survival of the sharpest.”
Over time, these simple two-word structures became the foundation for more complex grammar. Even as language grew more complex, those early building blocks never disappeared. They remain hidden in modern speech — small but powerful traces of how human language began.
28. What characterized the earliest form of language?
A. Complex grammar. B. Verb-noun pairings. C. Full sentences. D. Tense markers.
29. What does the underlined word “ambiguity” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Simplicity of rules. B. Depth of meaning. C. Complexity of form. D. Lack of clarity.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Functions of humor. B. Origin of abstract thought.
C. Features of metaphors. D. Power of word combinations.
31. What is the main function of the last paragraph?
A. To stress the structures’ historical role. B. To introduce new evidence for the research.
C. To explain grammar’s rapid development. D. To question the findings of previous studies.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍一项语言研究:人类最早的语言形式是动词+名词的两词搭配,没有复杂语法;这类语言结构的痕迹留存至今,词语组合不仅能描述动作,还可以表达抽象概念、产生幽默,也曾服务于社会竞争,这些简单结构是后世复杂语法的基础。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“According to new research published in PNAS Nexus, the earliest form of language used simple verb-noun pairings like ‘catch fish’ or ‘throw spear.’(根据发表在PNAS Nexus上的最新研究,最早的语言形式使用的是诸如“catch fish”或“throw spear”这样的简单动词-名词搭配。)”可知,早期语言以动名搭配为特征。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段的“In “pickpocket,” it is unclear who is doing the action. That ambiguity reflects an earlier stage of language, before grammar became fully structured. (在“pickpocket”中,动作的执行者不明确。这种ambiguity反映了语言早期阶段的特点,即语法尚未完全结构化之前的状态。)”可推知,ambiguity此处指代前文提到的“动作的执行者不明确”,因此推断ambiguity指代“含义不清晰、模棱两可”。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段的“These early combinations extended far beyond mere action descriptions; they expanded what language could do. By pairing concrete words, people could express abstract ideas. A phrase like “time flies” stretches literal meaning into metaphor, opening the door to more complex thought. That same mechanism (机制) explains humor — unexpected word combinations create surprise, which is often the origin of humor. (这些早期的组合远远超越了单纯的动作描述,拓展了语言所能实现的范围。通过将具体词汇组合起来,人们能够表达抽象的思想。例如“时间飞逝”这样的短语,将字面意义延伸为隐喻,从而开启更复杂思维的大门。同样的机制也解释了幽默——意想不到的词语组合带来惊喜,而这种惊喜往往是幽默的起源。)”可推知,本段讲述词语组合可以表达抽象概念、创造隐喻、产生幽默,体现词语组合的强大作用。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Over time, these simple two-word structures became the foundation for more complex grammar. Even as language grew more complex, those early building blocks never disappeared. They remain hidden in modern speech — small but powerful traces of how human language began. (随着时间的推移,这些简单的两词结构逐渐成为更复杂语法的基础。尽管语言变得越来越复杂,但那些早期的构建单元却从未消失。它们如今仍隐藏在现代语言中——虽小却是人类语言起源的微小却强有力的痕迹。)”可推知,本段强调两词结构在语言发展史上的重要地位。

Nearly half of Americans and around 40% of Britons now use smartwatches, smart rings, or phone apps to track their sleep. But are these devices accurate? And do they actually help? A new study published in Nature found a U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and biological ageing, which provides a standard to judge whether the sleep-tracking tools work properly. Using data from roughly 500,000 people, researchers discovered that those who slept between 6.4 and 7.8 hours per night showed slower ageing than those who slept either more or less.
Sleep trackers promise to help users hit this sweet spot. Most trackers distinguish sleep from wakefulness fairly well. Several studies have compared them to polysomnography (多导睡眠监测) — the gold standard that uses monitors to record eye movements, brain activity and heart rate. A 2024 paper found that three popular wearables agreed with polysomnography about 95% of the time in telling sleep from wakefulness.
However, trackers become less reliable when identifying different sleep stages. A good night requires cycling between REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep and several stages of non-REM sleep. Wearables match polysomnography on sleep-stage classification only 50-80% of the time. “That earns a C+ to B+,” says Harvard scientist Rebecca Robbins. Yet many devices still include these inaccurate readings in their sleep scores.
Despite trackers’ shortcomings, most sleep researchers view them positively. They say the devices give them a better, more objective sense of how long they slept. Plus, they do seem to improve sleep habits. In a survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine 55% of adults who reported using sleep trackers said they had changed their behaviour after learning from the data. One small study, published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine in 2020, found that wearing a sleep tracker for a week improved self-reported sleep quality.
Too much data can have downsides, though. Unlike trying to eat healthily or exercise, putting more thought and effort into sleeping can backfire. As many as 30% of sleep-tracker users report feeling anxious about their data — and that anxiety can feed into a vicious cycle, since concern about poor sleep is itself one of the most common causes of sleepless nights. But sleep data is not worth losing sleep over. There is a simpler alternative: whether you wake up feeling rested is the best indicator of how good your night actually was.
32. What is the key finding of the new study?
A. Longer sleep ensures health. B. Sleep duration impacts aging.
C. Middle-aged people sleep less. D. Sleep trackers are widely used.
33. What can be inferred about sleep trackers?
A. They misjudge sleep stages. B. They match the gold standard.
C. They exactly track brain waves. D. They poorly sense wakefulness.
34. What does the author suggest for judging sleep?
A. Ignoring sleep data. B. Listening to your body.
C. Using simpler devices. D. Relying on trackers’ scores.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. New Findings on Sleep Cycles. B. Ways to Judge Sleep Quality.
C. Sleep Trackers: Help or Harm? D. Can Sleep Data Cause Anxiety?
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍睡眠追踪设备的利弊与不足,认为睡眠数据不必过度在意,判断睡眠质量应听从身体感受。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Using data from roughly 500,000 people, researchers discovered that those who slept between 6.4 and 7.8 hours per night showed slower ageing than those who slept either more or less.(研究人员利用大约50万人的数据发现,每晚睡眠在6.4到7.8小时之间的人,其衰老速度比睡眠时间更长或更短的人都更慢。)”可知,新研究的关键发现是睡眠时长影响衰老。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Wearables match polysomnography on sleep-stage classification only 50-80% of the time.(可穿戴设备在睡眠阶段分类上与多导睡眠监测的吻合度只有50%到80%。)”可知,睡眠追踪设备在判断睡眠阶段上并不可靠,容易误判。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“There is a simpler alternative: whether you wake up feeling rested is the best indicator of how good your night actually was.(有一个更简单的替代方法:你醒来时是否感觉休息好了,才是衡量你夜晚睡眠实际质量的最佳指标。)”可知,作者建议通过自身醒来后的感受来判断睡眠质量,即听从身体感受。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But are these devices accurate? And do they actually help?(但是这些设备准确吗?它们真的有帮助吗?)”以及后文既介绍追踪设备改善睡眠习惯的积极作用,又指出数据会引发焦虑等弊端可知,全文围绕睡眠追踪设备是利是弊展开。所以C项“Sleep Trackers: Help or Harm?(睡眠追踪器:帮助还是伤害?)”符合语境。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
It was a bright, unseasonably warm Saturday in late April when 32-year-old Bennett Reinhardt and his childhood friend Mary decided to go kayaking (皮划艇) on the Elk River, a winding, fast-moving waterway that cuts through the hills of northern Alabama. The plan was simple: paddle a gentle stretch, enjoy the sunshine, and be back by mid-afternoon. Neither had any idea the day would turn into a fight for survival.
The trouble started almost immediately. The river, swollen from days of heavy rain, was running much faster than usual. Within minutes of launching, the current grabbed their kayaks and swept them downstream far quicker than they’d anticipated. Before they knew it, they’d drifted into a narrow, rocky gorge (峡谷) known locally as “The Narrows”.
Panic set in as Bennett’s kayak crashed into a rock and turned over. He hit the water hard, the cold current instantly stealing his breath. Mary, who was just ahead, managed to paddle to the bank and climb to safety, but Bennett was gone — swept downstream, bouncing off rocks, his body rolling in the icy water.
Some 200 yards downstream, Bennett finally managed to grab onto a small tree growing out of the riverbank. The tree he clung to was small, its roots barely holding in the soft soil. Each surge of current pulled at his body, threatening to tear him loose. Bennett’s hands were numb, his muscles shaking from hypothermia (失温), his mind foggy from the shock. He clung there, gasping, as the water raged past. He shouted for help, but the roaring current drowned most of his voice. His strength was fading fast, and he knew he couldn’t hold on much longer. “Please,” he whispered, “someone help me.”
Tom Carter, a construction worker who lived a half-mile from the river, was working in his yard. He had lived there his whole life and had pulled more than one careless paddler out of trouble.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右。
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: On hearing the frantic shouts, Tom grabbed a rope and headed toward the water.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Moments later, Mary arrived and saw Bennett lying on the muddy bank.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
On hearing the frantic shouts, Tom grabbed a rope and headed toward the water. Reaching the bank, he spotted Bennett clinging to the small tree, his face blue with cold. The bank was steep and slippery, and the current was far too strong to swim against. Tom quickly tied one end of the rope to a sturdy tree and threw the other end toward Bennett. “Grab it!” he yelled. Bennett lunged forward and caught the rope with both hands. Tom braced himself and pulled with all his might, inch by inch, until he seized Bennett’s shoulders and dragged him onto the muddy shore. Bennett collapsed, coughing up water, his whole body trembling. (98)
Paragraph 2:
Moments later, Mary arrived and saw Bennett lying on the muddy bank. She rushed to his side and knelt beside him, her eyes filled with tears. “I thought I’d lost you,” she sobbed. Bennett managed a weak smile and squeezed her hand. “Thanks to him,” he whispered, nodding toward Tom, who was already wrapping his jacket around Bennett’s shaking shoulders. Tom helped them back to his house nearby, where he made hot drinks and called for help. Sitting by the fire, Bennett stared at the stranger who had saved his life and made a silent promise: if ever given the chance, he would do the same for someone else. (97)
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,讲述四月末一个温暖的周六,Bennett与朋友Mary在Elk River划皮划艇,因连日暴雨河水湍急,Bennett的皮划艇撞石翻覆,他被冲入峡谷、紧抓河岸小树岌岌可危,而住在附近的建筑工人Tom Carter 曾多次救助遇险划艇者。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容可知,本段可以写Tom听到呼救后,用绳索将紧抓小树的Bennett从急流中拉上岸,成功救起。
②由第二段首句内容可知,本段可以写Mary赶到后与Bennett重逢,Tom热心照料并施救,Bennett暗下决心日后也要救人。
2.续写线索:Tom听到呼救——将Bennett拉上岸——Mary与Bennett重逢——Tom热心照料——Bennett感悟
