第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

A
The ebike has gained increasing popularity among people, even the King being spotted riding one. According to the market research company Mintel, sales of the ebikes have almost become three times more than the past five years. While ebikes have become increasingly common, they are still undoubtedly expensive. You can pick up a perfectly sufficient push-bike for 300, but most ebikes cost nearly 2,000. Now, Cycling Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.
Best folding bike: Carbo Model X
Price: 2,799|Weight:13.3kg
Range: up to 34 miles
This is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is the perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain. This makes it lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more traditional, oil y chain.
Most fashionable: Temple Cycles Classic
Price: from 2,995|Weight: 19 kg
Range: up to 74 miles
This Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant push-bikes, which are hand-built in the city.This is its electric version. It’s a very smooth and functional option and not too heavy. Temples have fewer proprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and so are serviceable in any bike shop. Fashionable as they may be, the VanMoofs and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.
The money-no-object option: Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX
Price: 5,380|Weight:28.4kg
Range: up to 93 miles
This is a prime example of the attention to de tail delivering a high-quality experience in functionality, comfort and practicality—if you can afford it. It is able to handle 25 kg of luggage in a pannier, powerful road lights and a beautifully smooth motor.
1. What is special about the Temples compared with other fashionable ebikes
A. Their weight is much lighter. B. They are more functional.
C. They are more comfortable. D. Their service is more accessible.
2. Which will be chosen by those caring about excellent experiences
A. Carbo Model X. B. Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX.
C. Temple Cycles Classic. D. The VanMoofs and the Cowboys.
3. Where can we possibly find this text
A. A feature story. B. A consumer guide.
C. A market research report. D. An official document.
B
Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist, was best known for his discovery of classical conditioning, a learning process where a stimulus (刺激物) brings about a specific response through repeated pairing. During his studies on the digestive systems of dogs, Pavlov found that the animals salivated (流口水) naturally upon the presentation of food. However, he also noticed that the animals began to salivate whenever they saw the white lab coat of an experimental assistant. By association the presentation of food with the lab assistant, he finally found that a dog would salivate over the presence of a stimulus other than food. He called this response a conditional reflex.
Ivan Pavlov was born in a small village in Ryazan Russia, where his father was the village minister. His earliest studies were focused on theology (神学) but reading Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species had a powerful impact on his future interests. He soon stopped his religious studies and committed himself to the study of science at the University of Saint Petersburg. Pavlov’s interests were the study of physiology and natural sciences. He helped found the Department of Physiology at the Institute of Experimental Medicine and continued to manage the program for the next 45 years.
Pavlov received much praise for his work. He worked in the Russian Academy of Science and won the 1904 Nobel Prize in Physiology. The local government also offered lots of support for Pavlov’s work. While Ivan Pavlov was not a psychologist, and reportedly disliked the field of psychology, his work had a major influence on the field, particularly on the development of behaviorism. His discovery and research on reflexes influenced the growing behaviorist movement, and even on many thinkers, such as John B. Watson.
4. What can we infer from Pavlov’s studies on dogs
A. Animals naturally salivate when they are hungry.
B. Animals react differently to the presentation of food.
C. Animals salivate in response to stimulus linked with food.
D. Animals tend to establish close relationship with lab assistants.
5. Which is true about Pavlov’s early life
A. He was born in a wealthy family in Russia.
B. He was greatly influenced by Charles Darwin’s book.
C. He never gave up his interest in the study of religion.
D. He was a founding member of the Institute of Experimental Medicine.
6. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Pavlov’s discovery had a profound effect on psychology.
B. The local government considered Pavlov’s work valueless.
C. John B. Watson was also a well-known physiologist in behaviorism.
D. Pavlov showed a strong passion for physiology as well as psychology.
7. What can be a suitable title for this text
A. The Discovery of the Conditional Reflex
B. The Life and Great Discovery of Ivan Pavlov
C. The Nobel Prize Winner and His Lasting Influence
D. The Contributions to Psychology Made by Ivan Pavlov
C
As people become more aware of the importance of eco-friendly power sources, we have devoted much time to inventing creative devices. A newly developed paper battery promises to make a big difference to single-use electronics.
The battery is crafted from sustainable materials, which not only strengthens its eco-friendliness but also makes it cost-effective to produce. This combination of biodegradability (可生物降解) and affordability makes it attractive for a wide range of applications. Another standout feature of this paper battery is its flexibility in terms of shape and size. Unlike traditional batteries that are available in fixed sizes, this paper battery can be tailored to meet diverse requirements.
In reality, the paper battery is enough to power an LCD alarm clock. “While it won’t be charging up your computer anytime soon, there’s lots of potential for low-powered sensors. We present a printed paper battery developed to power single-use disposable electronics and to reduce their environmental impact to the lowest level,” write the researchers in their published paper.
The battery is based on a metal-air electrochemical cell. Made from sodium chloride salt-diffused (氯化钠盐扩散的) paper, it can measure as little as one square centimeter, and is based on printed inks. All that’s needed, then, is a small amount of water, as little as two drops. This dissolves the salts within the paper, and then activates the battery as they travel. The battery starts producing power around 20 seconds after water is added, according to the experiments carried out by the team.
Although the performance decreases over time as the paper dries out, it can be topped up to some extent with more water. The researchers say they want to improve the efficiency of the battery in the future, and get it working for longer. “With a rising awareness of the e-waste problem and the emergence of single-use electronics for applications, there is a growing need for low environmental impact batteries,” write the researchers.
8. Which is a feature of the paper battery
A. It is made from single-use materials. B. It is costly to put together.
C. It can be used to charge up your computer. D. It can be produced in diverse shapes.
9. What can we learn about the paper battery according to the text
A It can be applied to any electronics.
B. It is able to supply energy to our cell-phones.
C Its power can be refilled by adding some water.
D It has reduced the environmental impact to the lowest.
10. What’s the main idea of paragraph 4
A. What the paper battery consists of. B. How the paper battery works.
C. Where the paper battery can be applied. D. Why the paper battery is popular.
11. What is most likely to be the focus of future research according to the researchers
A. How to get rid of impacts of single-use electronics.
B. How to improve the efficiency of the paper battery.
C. How to reduce the demand for single-use electronics.
D. How to raise people’s awareness of e-waste problems.
D
With greater attention paid to our mental health, we need more chances to pour out our anxieties. But talking to an adult about feelings can be an uneasy experience for children and adolescents. With this in mind, a recent study from the University of Cambridge tested a robot’s effectiveness in determining children’s well-being.
The study involved 28 children between the ages of 8 and 13 and their parents or guardians completing a well-being questionnaire focused on the young individuals. Then a human-like robot asked the young participants open-ended questions about happy and sad memories over the last week and had them respond to prompts (提示) around pictures. The parents or guardians and research team members observed the interaction from a separate room.
Children with mental well being issues were likelier to divulge the extent of these problems while talking to the robot. Researchers thus found they felt more negative than stated in the initial questionnaire. On the other hand, children without previously stated mental well-being concerns presented an even more positive image to the robot.
Actually, the idea that children would share more with a robot than parents or mental health professionals is easy to understand. “Not all children have a secure attachment style, meaning they feel safe and connected to their caregivers,” says Dr. Katherine Grill, a behavioral scientist. “Children without secure attachments often find comfort in companions like imaginary friends. In this instance, a robot may serve as a practical option for children to open up about their well-being. Even in cases where children have secure attachment styles, a robot may provide them with a non-judgmental relationship where they’re willing to share their feelings.”
“While this study demonstrates the benefit of robots, it doesn’t remove the need for human interaction in the mental health field. Technology-enabled services mean digital support and even enhanced care, but they don’t replace work with a human being,” says Dr. Aaron Haddock, associate professor of Clark University. “After all, the relationship between clients and providers is a key driver of positive treatment outcomes.”
12. Which of the following is true about the study
A. The robot raised questions to test children’s memory.
B. The children interacted with a human-like robot alone.
C. The children were free to ask the robot any questions.
D. The parents talked with researchers in a separate room.
13. What does the underlined word “divulge” mean in paragraph 3
A. Ignore. B. Assess. C. Reveal. D. Control.
14. Why may children be willing to share more with a robot according to Dr. Katherine Grill
A. Because robots are more intelligent than humans.
B. Because robots offer non-judgmental relationships.
C. Because robots connect children with their caregivers.
D. Because robots can choose imaginary friends for the children.
15. What is Dr. Aaron Haddock’s attitude towards technology-enabled services
A. Totally positive. B. Relatively objective.
C. Particularly disapproving. D. Generally unconcerned.

Failure is likely the most tiring experience one ever has. There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding. ____16____
In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. ____17____
Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the most difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works.
____18____ Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can then let the unconsciousness (无意识) take over.
When planning Encyclopedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Day after day, I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. _____19_____One day, mentally exhausted, I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. ____20____ In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.
A. My fatigue became almost unbearable.
B. I felt depressed and gave it up eventually.
C. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.
D. Use your unconsciousness and you can reduce your tiredness.
E. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.
F. The solution is not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.
G. Here are two ways of exhaustion ——start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.

Once upon a time, in a small town located near the edge of a vast forest, two adventurous souls named John and David had long been keen to go deep into the heart of nature. One day, armed with their backpacks, they determined to explore the forest. The villagers had warned them to stick to the main path, cautioning that there could be hunters’ traps elsewhere, but the appeal of the charming forest was too great to resist.
As they confidently ventured deeper into the forest, its beauty unfolded before their eyes. An hour later, driven by the hunger for the unknown, they made a decision to take the less-traveled path, making marks along the way carefully as they went. For another two hours, they observed various flowers, took pictures of strange-shaped rocks and marveled at the breathtaking scenery. The forest seemed to be a world of its own, untouched by human presence. Everything appeared so beautiful.
However, little did they know that danger was hidden under their feet. As they went further, they realized that their phones had lost signal, and they were completely cut off from the outside world. Suddenly, John stepped forward and felt the ground gave way beneath him. Before he knew it, he had fallen into a hidden pit(深坑), his leg trapped by the wooden spikes(尖刺) lining the bottom. Pain shot through his body as he cried out for help.
Upon hearing John’s crying out in pain, David quickly ran to the edge of the pit, desperately trying to find a way to pull his friend out. However, his efforts were in vain. “John, are you okay Can you move your leg ” asked David worriedly. John winced in pain as he tried to move his injured leg, “I think I’ve hurt my leg, David. It aches a lot.” “It’s going to be okay, John,” David comforted him, “I’ll find a way to get you out of here!” With no phone signal and nightfall approaching, David knew he had to act fast.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He couldn’t pull John out of the pit, so he decided to get out and seek help.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Together, they journeyed back to where John awaited rescue.

Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist, was best known for his discovery of classical conditioning, a learning process where a stimulus (刺激物) brings about a specific response through repeated pairing. During his studies on the digestive systems of dogs, Pavlov found that the animals salivated (流口水) naturally upon the presentation of food. However, he also noticed that the animals began to salivate whenever they saw the white lab coat of an experimental assistant. By association the presentation of food with the lab assistant, he finally found that a dog would salivate over the presence of a stimulus other than food. He called this response a conditional reflex.
Ivan Pavlov was born in a small village in Ryazan Russia, where his father was the village minister. His earliest studies were focused on theology (神学) but reading Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species had a powerful impact on his future interests. He soon stopped his religious studies and committed himself to the study of science at the University of Saint Petersburg. Pavlov’s interests were the study of physiology and natural sciences. He helped found the Department of Physiology at the Institute of Experimental Medicine and continued to manage the program for the next 45 years.
Pavlov received much praise for his work. He worked in the Russian Academy of Science and won the 1904 Nobel Prize in Physiology. The local government also offered lots of support for Pavlov’s work. While Ivan Pavlov was not a psychologist, and reportedly disliked the field of psychology, his work had a major influence on the field, particularly on the development of behaviorism. His discovery and research on reflexes influenced the growing behaviorist movement, and even on many thinkers, such as John B. Watson.
4. What can we infer from Pavlov’s studies on dogs
A. Animals naturally salivate when they are hungry.
B. Animals react differently to the presentation of food.
C. Animals salivate in response to stimulus linked with food.
D. Animals tend to establish close relationship with lab assistants.

As people become more aware of the importance of eco-friendly power sources, we have devoted much time to inventing creative devices. A newly developed paper battery promises to make a big difference to single-use electronics.
The battery is crafted from sustainable materials, which not only strengthens its eco-friendliness but also makes it cost-effective to produce. This combination of biodegradability (可生物降解) and affordability makes it attractive for a wide range of applications. Another standout feature of this paper battery is its flexibility in terms of shape and size. Unlike traditional batteries that are available in fixed sizes, this paper battery can be tailored to meet diverse requirements.
In reality, the paper battery is enough to power an LCD alarm clock. “While it won’t be charging up your computer anytime soon, there’s lots of potential for low-powered sensors. We present a printed paper battery developed to power single-use disposable electronics and to reduce their environmental impact to the lowest level,” write the researchers in their published paper.
The battery is based on a metal-air electrochemical cell. Made from sodium chloride salt-diffused (氯化钠盐扩散的) paper, it can measure as little as one square centimeter, and is based on printed inks. All that’s needed, then, is a small amount of water, as little as two drops. This dissolves the salts within the paper, and then activates the battery as they travel. The battery starts producing power around 20 seconds after water is added, according to the experiments carried out by the team.
Although the performance decreases over time as the paper dries out, it can be topped up to some extent with more water. The researchers say they want to improve the efficiency of the battery in the future, and get it working for longer. “With a rising awareness of the e-waste problem and the emergence of single-use electronics for applications, there is a growing need for low environmental impact batteries,” write the researchers.
8. Which is a feature of the paper battery
A. It is made from single-use materials. B. It is costly to put together.
C. It can be used to charge up your computer. D. It can be produced in diverse shapes.
9. What can we learn about the paper battery according to the text
A. It can be applied to any electronics.
B. It is able to supply energy to our cell-phones.
C. Its power can be refilled by adding some water.
D. It has reduced the environmental impact to the lowest.
10. What’s the main idea of paragraph 4
A. What the paper battery consists of. B. How the paper battery works.
C. Where the paper battery can be applied. D. Why the paper battery is popular.
11. What is most likely to be the focus of future research according to the researchers

With greater attention paid to our mental health, we need more chances to pour out our anxieties. But talking to an adult about feelings can be an uneasy experience for children and adolescents. With this in mind, a recent study from the University of Cambridge tested a robot’s effectiveness in determining children’s well-being.
The study involved 28 children between the ages of 8 and 13 and their parents or guardians completing a well-being questionnaire focused on the young individuals. Then a human-like robot asked the young participants open-ended questions about happy and sad memories over the last week and had them respond to prompts (提示) around pictures. The parents or guardians and research team members observed the interaction from a separate room.
Children with mental well being issues were likelier to divulge the extent of these problems while talking to the robot. Researchers thus found they felt more negative than stated in the initial questionnaire. On the other hand, children without previously stated mental well-being concerns presented an even more positive image to the robot.
Actually, the idea that children would share more with a robot than parents or mental health professionals is easy to understand. “Not all children have a secure attachment style, meaning they feel safe and connected to their caregivers,” says Dr. Katherine Grill, a behavioral scientist. “Children without secure attachments often find comfort in companions like imaginary friends. In this instance, a robot may serve as a practical option for children to open up about their well-being. Even in cases where children have secure attachment styles, a robot may provide them with a non-judgmental relationship where they’re willing to share their feelings.”
“While this study demonstrates the benefit of robots, it doesn’t remove the need for human interaction in the mental health field. Technology-enabled services mean digital support and even enhanced care, but they don’t replace work with a human being,” says Dr. Aaron Haddock, associate professor of Clark University. “After all, the relationship between clients and providers is a key driver of positive treatment outcomes.”
12. Which of the following is true about the study
A. The robot raised questions to test children’s memory.
B. The children interacted with a human-like robot alone.
C. The children were free to ask the robot any questions.
D. The parents talked with researchers in a separate room.
13. What does the underlined word “divulge” mean in paragraph 3
A. Ignore. B. Assess. C. Reveal. D. Control.
14. Why may children be willing to share more with a robot according to Dr. Katherine Grill
A. Because robots are more intelligent than humans.
B. Because robots offer non-judgmental relationships.
C. Because robots connect children with their caregivers.
D. Because robots can choose imaginary friends for the children.
15. What is Dr. Aaron Haddock’s attitude towards technology-enabled services
A. Totally positive. B. Relatively objective.
C. Particularly disapproving. D. Generally unconcerned.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了剑桥大学的一项研究表明机器人有助于评估儿童的心理健康状况,儿童更愿意与机器人分享他们的感受。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Then a human-like robot asked the young participants open-ended questions about happy and sad memories over the last week and had them respond to prompts (提示) around pictures. The parents or guardians and research team members observed the interaction from a separate room. (然后,一个人形机器人向年轻的参与者询问有关上周快乐和悲伤记忆的开放式问题,并让他们对图片周围的提示做出反应。家长或监护人和研究小组成员在一个单独的房间观察互动)”可知,在实验研究中,研究人员安排孩子与人形机器人单独互动。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Children with mental well being issues (有心理健康问题的儿童)”和下文“… the extent of these problems while talking to the robot. Researchers thus found they felt more negative than stated in the initial questionnaire. On the other hand, children without previously stated mental well-being concerns presented an even more positive image to the robot. (……在与机器人交谈时,这些问题的程度。因此,研究人员发现,他们的消极情绪比最初问卷中所述的要多)”可知,此处是以问卷为参照,比较出与机器人交谈对有心理健康问题的儿童的好处,应该是可以让他们更加敞开心扉,透露自己的问题。因此,此处指更有可能透露这些问题的严重程度,divulge意思应该是“透露”,与reveal的意思接近。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Katherine Grill博士所说的话“Children without secure attachments often find comfort in companions like imaginary friends. In this instance, a robot may serve as a practical option for children to open up about their well-being. Even in cases where children have secure attachment styles, a robot may provide them with a non-judgmental relationship where they’re willing to share their feelings. (没有安全依恋的孩子经常在想象中的朋友之类的同伴中找到安慰。在这种情况下,机器人可以作为一个实用的选择,让孩子们敞开心扉谈论他们的幸福感。即使在孩子们有安全依恋类型的情况下,机器人也可能为他们提供一种非评判性的关系,让他们愿意分享自己的感受)”可知,Katherine Grill博士认为孩子更愿意与机器人分享感受的原因在于机器人为他们提供非评判性的关系。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Aaron Haddock博士所说的话“While this study demonstrates the benefit of robots, it doesn’t remove the need for human interaction in the mental health field. Technology-enabled services mean digital support and even enhanced care, but they don’t replace work with a human being (虽然这项研究证明了机器人的好处,但它并没有消除心理健康领域对人类互动的需求。技术支持的服务意味着数字支持,甚至是更好的护理,但它们不会取代人类的工作)”可知,Aaron Haddock博士认为技术支持的服务虽然有好处,但是无法替代人类的工作。由此可知,他对技术支持服务的态度是相对客观的。故选B项。

Failure is likely the most tiring experience one ever has. There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding. ____16____
In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. ____17____
Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the most difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works.
____18____ Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can then let the unconsciousness (无意识) take over.
When planning Encyclopedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Day after day, I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. _____19_____One day, mentally exhausted, I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. ____20____ In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.
A. My fatigue became almost unbearable.
B. I felt depressed and gave it up eventually.
C. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.
D. Use your unconsciousness and you can reduce your tiredness.

第二节(满分 25分)
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。
Once upon a time, in a small town located near the edge of a vast forest, two adventurous souls named John and David had long been keen to go deep into the heart of nature. One day, armed with their backpacks, they determined to explore the forest. The villagers had warned them to stick to the main path, cautioning that there could be hunters’ traps elsewhere, but the appeal of the charming forest was too great to resist.
As they confidently ventured deeper into the forest, its beauty unfolded before their eyes. An hour later, driven by the hunger for the unknown, they made a decision to take the less-traveled path, making marks along the way carefully as they went. For another two hours, they observed various flowers, took pictures of strange-shaped rocks and marveled at the breathtaking scenery. The forest seemed to be a world of its own, untouched by human presence. Everything appeared so beautiful.
However, little did they know that danger was hidden under their feet. As they went further, they realized that their phones had lost signal, and they were completely cut off from the outside world. Suddenly, John stepped forward and felt the ground gave way beneath him. Before he knew it, he had fallen into a hidden pit(深坑), his leg trapped by the wooden spikes(尖刺) lining the bottom. Pain shot through his body as he cried out for help.
Upon hearing John’s crying out in pain, David quickly ran to the edge of the pit, desperately trying to find a way to pull his friend out. However, his efforts were in vain. “John, are you okay Can you move your leg ” asked David worriedly. John winced in pain as he tried to move his injured leg, “I think I’ve hurt my leg, David. It aches a lot.” “It’s going to be okay, John,” David comforted him, “I’ll find a way to get you out of here!” With no phone signal and nightfall approaching, David knew he had to act fast.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He couldn’t pull John out of the pit, so he decided to get out and seek help.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Together, they journeyed back to where John awaited rescue.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He couldn’t pull John out of the pit, so he decided to get out and seek help. With a heavy heart, he departed from John and pressed onward as swiftly as possible. David ran with all his might, retracing their earlier steps and shouting for help, his voice echoing through the vast emptiness, hoping that someone might hear his cries. Minutes felt like hours, and with each passing second, his anxiety grew. Just when he thought all hope was lost, David spotted a group of villagers not too far away. Relief flooded through him as he waved his arms and yelled to attract their attention. Upon approaching them, David gasped for breath and explained everything to the villagers. They quickly gathered supplies and formed a rescue party.
Together, they journeyed back to where John awaited rescue. The rescue party worked quickly, using ropes to lift John out of the pit. Hardly had John emerged than he was greeted with cheers and applause from the group. They tended to his wounds, which were fortunately not that serious, and helped him to his feet. Exhausted but relieved, John’s heart overflowed with gratitude to David and the villagers, whose unwavering support and kindness served as a saving grace. Their journey taught them the importance of preparation, caution, and respect for nature’s unpredictable power. Both men knew that this experience would stay with them forever, a testament to the power of friendship and determination in the face of adversity.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了爱冒险的John和David不顾村民的警告,去森林探险时被迷人的风景吸引住,不知不觉走到森林深处。他们的手机失去了信号,他们与外界完全隔绝了,突然,John掉进了陷阱里面,腿被底部的木钉卡住了。David听到John痛苦的呼喊,拼命想办法把他的朋友拉出来,没有手机信号,夜幕降临,大卫知道他必须迅速行动。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他无法把John从坑里拉出来,所以他决定出去寻求帮助。”可知,第一段可描写David寻找帮助并且最终找到救援队的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“他们一起回到John等待救援的地方。”可知,第二段可描写在救援队的帮助下,John被救了出来,以及通过他们的故事得到的教训。
2.续写线索:David大声呼救——发现一群村民——David挥动双手,吸引注意力——靠近村民,解释情况——组成救援队——救出John——John感到筋疲力尽——心里充满感激——教训
