In the years of my growing up, Dad was hard on me. He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. As a school girl and young adult, I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would scream, "I hate you!" Dad would yell back, "Good! I don't care!" Deep down I knew he did.
One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, "Call my dad." Next thing, Dad was carrying me to the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticized. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I need discipline.
Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn't until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working in such a competitive industry, I've sometimes thought, "I can't do this any more."
Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle's music and trying to find myself again. Dad sat me down and said, "Alice, I know it's hard, but it's all about persistence(坚持不懈)."
Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We are both enthusiastic about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people. If it weren't for Dad, I wouldn't be where I am today. He's my biggest fan, and when you have that in your life you can go a long way.
25.Which of the following is similar in meaning to the underlined part
A.I was blamed. B.I was pulled out of bed.
C.I got out of trouble. D.I was comforted.
26.What can we learn from the passage
A.As an actor, her father's career is always smooth.
B.It is her father who has helped shape the author who she is.
C.She would feel tired when going out with her father on weekends.

Do you sometimes find yourself drawing random patterns and designs during meetings and lectures Some people believe it shows you aren't listening or paying attention. However, there are studies which claim the opposite(相反的),and that doodling(乱涂乱画)might actually be beneficial.
Doodling seems to be everywhere. In the past it was seen as a mindless activity and a product of the absent-minded. However, in 2016, an article on the Harvard University website discussed the idea that random drawings may assist memory-keeping and concentration.
The article stressed that 26 of 44 American presidents were known to doodle, with Ronald Reagan famous for drawing cowboys. A 2009 study conducted by psychologist Jackie Andrade asked 40 people to listen to a "dull and confusing' voice message. Half of the group were asked to doodle and shade in a picture. Those who did were able to recall 29% more of the information contained in the message.
Some experts believe that accepting your creative and artistic sides during meetings may help you to concentrate. Jesse Prinz, a famous professor of philosophy, actively encourages his students to doodle. And it might not just be good for your concentration. An artist now as Mr Doodle has made a career out of his scribbles(涂鸦).He sells his art online and also goes to people's homes to decorate their walls.
It seems that random drawing to aid concentration might be becoming more of a thing. People like Sunni Brown, an advocate for doodling, teach adults how to scribble in the workplace. So,the next time you see someone randomly drawing pictures during a meeting, it might be a sign that they are listening more than you think.
28.What's the common belief about doodling
A.A chance to show one's creativity. B.A sign of being absent-minded.
C.A way to communicate effectively. D.An approach to improving memory.
29.Why are American presidents mentioned in paragraph 3
A.To arouse people's interest in the study.
B.To encourage the public to draw everywhere.
C.To introduce more studies about doodling.
D.To make the new finding more convincing,
30.How are the benefits of doodling proved in paragraph 4
A.By giving examples. B.By comparing opinions.
C.By listing numbers. D.By analyzing facts.
31.Which section of a website is the text most likely from
A.Health. B.Research. C.Culture. D.Education.
【答案】28.B
29.D
30.A
31.B
【知识点】推理判断题;细节理解题;说明文;科普类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一项新的研究发现——乱涂乱画是有益的。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇科研类阅读,通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。
28.考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"Some people believe it shows you aren't listening or paying attention." 有些人认为这表明你没有认真听或没有留意;以及第二段中的"In the past it was In the past it was seen as a mindless activity and a product of the absent-minded."过去人们认为它是一种无意识的活动,是心不在焉的产物。可知,人们一般认为随手乱涂乱画是是一种无意识的活动,是心不在焉的表现。故选B。
29.考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"However, in 2016, an article on the Harvard University website discussed the idea that random drawings may assist memory-keeping and concentration. "然而,2016年,哈佛大学网站上的一篇文章讨论了这样一种观点,即随手乱画可能有助于保持记忆力和集中注意力。可知这篇文章的观点是随手乱画对记忆的保持和集中精力都是有帮助的;以及第三段中的"The article stressed that 26 of 44 American presidents were known to doodle, with Ronald Reagan famous for drawing cowboys. "这篇文章强调,44位美国总统中有26位都有涂鸦的习惯,其中罗纳德·里根以画牛仔而闻名。提到美国44位总统中有26位有随手乱画的习惯,因此提到美国总统的目的是为了让"随手乱画是有益的"这一研究发现更加令人信服。故选D。
30.考查推理判断。根据第四段中的" Jesse Prinz, a famous professor of philosophy, actively encourages his students to doodle. And it might not just be good for your concentration. An artist now as Mr Doodle has made a career out of his scribbles(涂鸦).He sells his art online and also goes to people's homes to decorate their walls."著名的哲学教授Jesse Prinz积极鼓励他的学生涂鸦。它可能不仅有利于你的注意力。像杜德尔先生一样,他现在是一名艺术家,以他的涂鸦为职业。他在网上卖他的艺术品,也去人们家里装饰墙壁。可推断,第四段是通过给的例子证明涂鸦的好处的。故选A。
31.考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"However, in 2016, an article on the Harvard University website discussed the idea that random drawings may assist memory-keeping and concentration. "然而,2016年,哈佛大学网站上的一篇文章讨论了这样一种观点,即随机绘图可能有助于保持记忆和集中注意力。可知文章主要讨论的是无意识活动对记忆力和注意力的影响,无意识活动、记忆力及注意力等属于心理学研究的范畴,可推知本文应该出自网站的研究版块。故选B。

Japan's government announced Tuesday, April 13, 2021 that it would start releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean in two years.
It's a move that's fiercely opposed by fishermen, residents and Japan's neighbors.
15 April, the first meeting of the China-ROK dialogue and cooperation mechanism of maritime affairs was held. The two countries urged Japan to fully consult with international institutions and neighboring countries, and cautiously handle the issue on the basis of participation by relevant countries and international institutions. This is the common position of the two sides. To protect the health of their own people and international marine environment, China and the ROK, as Japan's close neighbors and stakeholders, expressed grave concerns and strong dissatisfaction. This is perfectly natural and justified.
Assessment report of the IAEA experts says that the treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant contains other radionuclides apart from tritium. According to Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the nuclear wastewater contains a total of 62 radionuclides. In August 2018, environmentalists found by analyzing data released by TEPCO that iodine-129 levels went off the chart for 60 times in the year 2017. The amount of strontium in the water is also well above the limit. It is reported that Canada has detected radioactivecaesium-134 in salmon from its west coast. In waters near Hawaii, the amount of radioactive materials is twice it was before. These are signs that nuclear pollution from Fukushima may have already spread to North America.
The oceans are not Japan's trash can; and the Pacific Ocean is not Japan's sewer. Japan should not expect the world to pay the bill for its treatment of wastewater. The lesson from Japan's Minamata disease is not far behind us. It should reevaluate the issue and control releasing the wastewater before reaching agreement with all stakeholders and the IAEA through full consultations. China reserves the right to make further reactions.
32.Which of the following will the author agree with
A.Japan will pour untreated radioactive water into Pacific Ocean.
B.Either China or ROK stands opposite to Japan.
C.The nuclear wastewater was predicted to contain 62 radionuclides.
D.Japan's Minamata disease has taught us a lesson.
33.What is the attitude of Japan towards the meeting
A.Approving B.Disapproving C.Not mentioned D.Neutral
34.What does the underlined expression "went off the chart" mean
A.set off the anger of the public
B.were much higher than the standard
C.went against the requirement of the international institution.
D.disappeared from the rank chart for qualification
35.What's the best title of the passage
A.Japan shocked the world by releasing radioactive water.
B.Japan plans to put the treated nuclear wastewater into the Pacific.
C.The Pacific Ocean-Japan's trash producer
D.Is Japan going to reevaluate its behaviour
【答案】32.D
33.C
34.B
35.B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,日本政府于2021年4月13日周二宣布,将在两年内从受损的福岛核电站开始向太平洋排放经处理的放射性水。此举遭到渔民、居民和日本邻国的强烈反对。本文报道了其它邻国、专家对此举的态度,同时中方保留作出进一步反应的权利。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断,词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇新闻报道,首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握大意,然后结合具体的题目,再读短文,从中找出相关信息,就可以确定正确答案。
32.考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"The oceans are not Japan's trash can; and the Pacific Ocean is not Japan's sewer. Japan should not expect the world to pay the bill for its treatment of wastewater. The lesson from Japan's Minamata disease is not far behind us."海洋不是日本的垃圾桶;太平洋也不是日本的下水道。日本不应该指望世界为它的废水处理买单。日本水俣病的教训离我们不远。可推知"日本的水俣病给了我们教训"的观点作者可能会认同。故选D。
33.考查推理判断。根据第三段"15 April, the first meeting of the China-ROK dialogue and cooperation mechanism of maritime affairs was held. The two countries urged Japan to fully consult with international institutions and neighboring countries, and cautiously handle the issue on the basis of participation by relevant countries and international institutions. This is the common position of the two sides. To protect the health of their own people and international marine environment, China and the ROK, as Japan's close neighbors and stakeholders, expressed grave concerns and strong dissatisfaction. This is perfectly natural and justified."4月15日,中韩海洋事务对话与合作机制首次会议举行。双方敦促日方与国际机构和周边国家充分协商,在有关国家和国际机构参与的基础上慎重处理。这是双方的共同立场。作为日本的近邻和利益攸关方,为保护本国人民健康和国际海洋环境,中韩两国表达了严重关切和强烈不满。这是完全自然和合理的。可推知,文中没有提到日方对此次会议持何态度。故选C。
34.考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的"The amount of strontium in the water is also well above the limit. It is reported that Canada has detected radioactivecaesium-134 in salmon from its west coast. In waters near Hawaii, the amount of radioactive materials is twice it was before."水中的锶含量也远远超过了限制。据报道,加拿大在其西海岸的鲑鱼中检测到了放射性铯-134。在夏威夷附近的水域,放射性物质的数量是以前的两倍;以及"for 60 times in the year 2017"可知,2018年8月,环保人士通过分析东京电力公司发布的数据发现,2017年,碘-129的含量超标60倍,远远高于标准。可推知画线部分 went off the chart 意思是"远远高于标准"。故选B。
35.考查主旨大意。根据第一段"Japan's government announced Tuesday, April 13, 2021 that it would start releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean in two years."日本政府于2021年4月13日周二宣布,将在两年内从受损的福岛核电站开始向太平洋排放经处理的放射性水;结合文章还介绍了其它邻国、专家对此举的态度,同时中方保留作出进一步反应的权利。"日本计划将处理过的核废水排入太平洋"适合做文章标题。故选B。

From the dawn of civilization, paper records have been a method of keeping track of important and necessary documentation. A common experience throughout the world's record keeping has been the necessity to ensure that all documents are kept together, and none are lost.
36. These included tying ribbons through the paper, and melting wax to secure the papers in place. For nearly 600 years, these were the methods used to secure papers.
37. In 1835, a machine that could mass-produce straight pins was invented by Howe J. L. , an American inventor. Although straight pins (大头针)were originally designed for sewing and tailoring, people began using them as a quick and easy way to secure papers. 38. In 1899 he patented the device, which consisted of a wire bent into a particularly shaped hoop for the purpose of securing papers.
During this time, however, the paperclip (回形针)was not a widely distributed device. Therefore, the Gem Manufacturing Company of England developed a machine to manufacture and standardize the paperclip design. 39.
Today the paperclip is a famous invention used throughout offices, schoolrooms, and business throughout the world. 40.
A. The next paper invention was that of the straight pin.
B. Before the paper clip, people had to be creative to keep paper together.
C. The humble item only came into popular usage around the mid-19th century.
D. Later, inspired by the straight pin, Norwegian Vaaler J. came up with the idea of the first paperclip.
E. This manufacturing development allowed for the expansion of the modern paperclip worldwide.
F. Being a wonder of simplicity and function, the paperclip remains a standard office supply throughout the world.
G. Therefore, from the early 13th century people had created various methods to ensure documents were kept together.

How far would you go to help a friend Jeremy Savage, aged 17, and Ian Marshall, aged 16, both from Canada, had their friendship tested to the limit on a recent trip to the Rocky Mountains with their parents.
On Saturday morning, the two boys decided to climb Cathedral Mountain by themselves while their parents relaxed at the campsite. After three hours, they reached the top and enjoyed the beautiful view from the mountaintop.
However, trouble began when they started the climb down. On one very dangerous part of the mountain, Ian fell three meters off the side of the path. Jeremy climbed down to where Ian was and found him badly injured and not able to move then. Jeremy had to decide what to do. He needed help but he did not want to leave his friend. He cleaned the dirt and blood from Ian's face and hands, and then tried to help Ian stand up, but Ian's right leg was hurting too much. With incredible calmness and his former experience in the mountain, Jeremy then gave Ian his food and water and let him lie on his jacket. They had to wait and hope that help would come. While they waited for help, Jeremy used his jacket and an extra shirt to keep Ian warm and they rested together. Sensing his friend's pain and anxiety, Jeremy gently comforted him and gave him constant encouragement in a determined tone.
Meanwhile, as darkness started to fall, their parents back at the campsite became very worried that the boys had not returned. Desperate tears welling up in the eyes, the mothers frantically prayed to God for their sons' safety. They got in touch with park workers and began searching for the boys. Soon more than 20 people were looking for them on Cathedral Mountain.
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。
As the evening grew darker and the temperature dropped, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents.
Finally, after four long and tiring hours' climbing down, they came across their parents.
【答案】One possible version:
As the evening grew darker and the temperature dropped, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents. But Jeremy still did not leave. He thought it was too dangerous for Ian to be alone on such a cold, windy night. However, with the surroundings from chilly to freezing, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him down the mountain. So, they started the long climb back to the campsite. Sometimes Jeremy carried Ian on his back. Sometimes he carried him in his arms.
Finally, after four long and tiring hours' climbing down, they came across their parents. Upon seeing the two boys, their parents dashed to wrap them in their arms. All the fear, cold and even pain were seemingly driven away by the reunion with their parents. Jeremy and Ian burst into tears, sobbing out what had happened in this adventure. On the way to the hospital, Ian held on tight to Jeremy's hand, saying,"I'll always remember what you did for me. You saved my life." Jeremy winked at him with a smiling face, "That's the greatest thing that a person can do for his friend."
【知识点】文字式记叙文;开放性作文;读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知,讲述了Jeremy Savage和Ian Marshall在爬山过程中,Ian从三米高的地方掉了下来,受了严重的伤。Jeremy不离不弃,奋力相救的故事。 段落续写:①由第一段首句内容"夜幕降临,气温下降,伊恩让杰里米离开他,回到父母身边。"可知,第一段可描写Jeremy不离不弃,奋力相救的过程。②由第二段首句内容"最后,经过四个小时漫长而疲惫的爬下,他们遇到了父母。"可知,第二段可描写二人获救的过程。写作时注意准确运用时态,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系,尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全,上下文连贯,使用一定数量的句式结构,让句子更加生动丰满,同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语,提高文章的档次,体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如:He thought it was too dangerous for Ian to be alone on such a cold, windy night. 运用了宾语从句;However, with the surroundings from chilly to freezing, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him down the mountain.运用了宾语从句; All the fear, cold and even pain were seemingly driven away by the reunion with their parents. 运用了被动语态;Jeremy and Ian burst into tears, sobbing out what had happened in this adventure. 运用了现在分词作状语,宾语从句;I'll always remember what you did for me.运用了宾语从句; That's the greatest thing that a person can do for his friend.运用了限制性定语从句。

In the years of my growing up, Dad was hard on me. He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. As a school girl and young adult, I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would scream, "I hate you!" Dad would yell back, "Good! I don't care!" Deep down I knew he did.
One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, "Call my dad." Next thing, Dad was carrying me to the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticized. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I need discipline.
Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn't until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working in such a competitive industry, I've sometimes thought, "I can't do this any more."
Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle's music and trying to find myself again. Dad sat me down and said, "Alice, I know it's hard, but it's all about persistence(坚持不懈)."
Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We are both enthusiastic about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people. If it weren't for Dad, I wouldn't be where I am today. He's my biggest fan, and when you have that in your life you can go a long way.
25.Which of the following is similar in meaning to the underlined part

Do you sometimes find yourself drawing random patterns and designs during meetings and lectures Some people believe it shows you aren't listening or paying attention. However, there are studies which claim the opposite(相反的),and that doodling(乱涂乱画)might actually be beneficial.
Doodling seems to be everywhere. In the past it was seen as a mindless activity and a product of the absent-minded. However, in 2016, an article on the Harvard University website discussed the idea that random drawings may assist memory-keeping and concentration.
The article stressed that 26 of 44 American presidents were known to doodle, with Ronald Reagan famous for drawing cowboys. A 2009 study conducted by psychologist Jackie Andrade asked 40 people to listen to a "dull and confusing' voice message. Half of the group were asked to doodle and shade in a picture. Those who did were able to recall 29% more of the information contained in the message.
Some experts believe that accepting your creative and artistic sides during meetings may help you to concentrate. Jesse Prinz, a famous professor of philosophy, actively encourages his students to doodle. And it might not just be good for your concentration. An artist now as Mr Doodle has made a career out of his scribbles(涂鸦).He sells his art online and also goes to people's homes to decorate their walls.
It seems that random drawing to aid concentration might be becoming more of a thing. People like Sunni Brown, an advocate for doodling, teach adults how to scribble in the workplace. So,the next time you see someone randomly drawing pictures during a meeting, it might be a sign that they are listening more than you think.
28.What's the common belief about doodling
A.A chance to show one's creativity. B.A sign of being absent-minded.
C.A way to communicate effectively. D.An approach to improving memory.
29.Why are American presidents mentioned in paragraph 3
A.To arouse people's interest in the study.
B.To encourage the public to draw everywhere.
C.To introduce more studies about doodling.
D.To make the new finding more convincing,
30.How are the benefits of doodling proved in paragraph 4
A.By giving examples. B.By comparing opinions.
C.By listing numbers. D.By analyzing facts.
31.Which section of a website is the text most likely from
A.Health. B.Research. C.Culture. D.Education.

Japan's government announced Tuesday, April 13, 2021 that it would start releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean in two years.
It's a move that's fiercely opposed by fishermen, residents and Japan's neighbors.
15 April, the first meeting of the China-ROK dialogue and cooperation mechanism of maritime affairs was held. The two countries urged Japan to fully consult with international institutions and neighboring countries, and cautiously handle the issue on the basis of participation by relevant countries and international institutions. This is the common position of the two sides. To protect the health of their own people and international marine environment, China and the ROK, as Japan's close neighbors and stakeholders, expressed grave concerns and strong dissatisfaction. This is perfectly natural and justified.
Assessment report of the IAEA experts says that the treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant contains other radionuclides apart from tritium. According to Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the nuclear wastewater contains a total of 62 radionuclides. In August 2018, environmentalists found by analyzing data released by TEPCO that iodine-129 levels went off the chart for 60 times in the year 2017. The amount of strontium in the water is also well above the limit. It is reported that Canada has detected radioactivecaesium-134 in salmon from its west coast. In waters near Hawaii, the amount of radioactive materials is twice it was before. These are signs that nuclear pollution from Fukushima may have already spread to North America.
The oceans are not Japan's trash can; and the Pacific Ocean is not Japan's sewer. Japan should not expect the world to pay the bill for its treatment of wastewater. The lesson from Japan's Minamata disease is not far behind us. It should reevaluate the issue and control releasing the wastewater before reaching agreement with all stakeholders and the IAEA through full consultations. China reserves the right to make further reactions.
32.Which of the following will the author agree with
A.Japan will pour untreated radioactive water into Pacific Ocean.
B.Either China or ROK stands opposite to Japan.
C.The nuclear wastewater was predicted to contain 62 radionuclides.
D.Japan's Minamata disease has taught us a lesson.
33.What is the attitude of Japan towards the meeting
A.Approving B.Disapproving C.Not mentioned D.Neutral
34.What does the underlined expression "went off the chart" mean
A.set off the anger of the public
B.were much higher than the standard
C.went against the requirement of the international institution.
D.disappeared from the rank chart for qualification
35.What's the best title of the passage
A.Japan shocked the world by releasing radioactive water.
B.Japan plans to put the treated nuclear wastewater into the Pacific.
C.The Pacific Ocean-Japan's trash producer
D.Is Japan going to reevaluate its behaviour

From the dawn of civilization, paper records have been a method of keeping track of important and necessary documentation. A common experience throughout the world's record keeping has been the necessity to ensure that all documents are kept together, and none are lost.
36. These included tying ribbons through the paper, and melting wax to secure the papers in place. For nearly 600 years, these were the methods used to secure papers.
37. In 1835, a machine that could mass-produce straight pins was invented by Howe J. L. , an American inventor. Although straight pins (大头针)were originally designed for sewing and tailoring, people began using them as a quick and easy way to secure papers. 38. In 1899 he patented the device, which consisted of a wire bent into a particularly shaped hoop for the purpose of securing papers.
During this time, however, the paperclip (回形针)was not a widely distributed device. Therefore, the Gem Manufacturing Company of England developed a machine to manufacture and standardize the paperclip design. 39.
Today the paperclip is a famous invention used throughout offices, schoolrooms, and business throughout the world. 40.
A. The next paper invention was that of the straight pin.
B. Before the paper clip, people had to be creative to keep paper together.
C. The humble item only came into popular usage around the mid-19th century.
D. Later, inspired by the straight pin, Norwegian Vaaler J. came up with the idea of the first paperclip.
E. This manufacturing development allowed for the expansion of the modern paperclip worldwide.
F. Being a wonder of simplicity and function, the paperclip remains a standard office supply throughout the world.
G. Therefore, from the early 13th century people had created various methods to ensure documents were kept together.

On Saturday morning, the two boys decided to climb Cathedral Mountain by themselves while their parents relaxed at the campsite. After three hours, they reached the top and enjoyed the beautiful view from the mountaintop.
However, trouble began when they started the climb down. On one very dangerous part of the mountain, Ian fell three meters off the side of the path. Jeremy climbed down to where Ian was and found him badly injured and not able to move then. Jeremy had to decide what to do. He needed help but he did not want to leave his friend. He cleaned the dirt and blood from Ian's face and hands, and then tried to help Ian stand up, but Ian's right leg was hurting too much. With incredible calmness and his former experience in the mountain, Jeremy then gave Ian his food and water and let him lie on his jacket. They had to wait and hope that help would come. While they waited for help, Jeremy used his jacket and an extra shirt to keep Ian warm and they rested together. Sensing his friend's pain and anxiety, Jeremy gently comforted him and gave him constant encouragement in a determined tone.
Meanwhile, as darkness started to fall, their parents back at the campsite became very worried that the boys had not returned. Desperate tears welling up in the eyes, the mothers frantically prayed to God for their sons' safety. They got in touch with park workers and began searching for the boys. Soon more than 20 people were looking for them on Cathedral Mountain.
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。
As the evening grew darker and the temperature dropped, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents.
Finally, after four long and tiring hours' climbing down, they came across their parents.

57.【答案】One possible version:
As the evening grew darker and the temperature dropped, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents. But Jeremy still did not leave. He thought it was too dangerous for Ian to be alone on such a cold, windy night. However, with the surroundings from chilly to freezing, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him down the mountain. So, they started the long climb back to the campsite. Sometimes Jeremy carried Ian on his back. Sometimes he carried him in his arms.
Finally, after four long and tiring hours' climbing down, they came across their parents. Upon seeing the two boys, their parents dashed to wrap them in their arms. All the fear, cold and even pain were seemingly driven away by the reunion with their parents. Jeremy and Ian burst into tears, sobbing out what had happened in this adventure. On the way to the hospital, Ian held on tight to Jeremy's hand, saying,"I'll always remember what you did for me. You saved my life." Jeremy winked at him with a smiling face, "That's the greatest thing that a person can do for his friend."
