第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分50分）
第一節(jié)（共 15 小題，每小題 2.5 分，滿分37.5分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項 (A、B、C和 D)中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
From the time human beings began to draw them, maps have helped people find their way around their environments. But maps can show us many things, not just which direction to go. They show the path of history, the earth’s shape development of mathematics, and the progress of technology.
One of the oldest-known land maps is an almost 1,600-year-old tablet from Southwest Asia. The map shows a circle of land that is divided by a river and surrounded by ocean. Triangles on the map indicate eight different regions. And the map’s text describes legendary beasts and heroes that were important to the ancient people of the area. Around AD 150, a Greek scientist drew north-south and east-west lines on a map. This addition applies mathematics to mapping and was an early attempt to show the earth’s shape on a flat piece of paper. Maps gradually became much more detailed as new regions were explored and put down on paper. Also, mathematical and astronomical advances helped to perfect the world map to what we know and love today!
Now that you know a little about the early history of maps, let’s learn some fun facts.
East at the Top
These days, most maps feature north at the top. However, during the Middle Ages, most maps had east at the top. This was done to point in the direction of the morning sun.
Puzzle Maps
When printed maps became available to the general population in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, not everyone could understand them. In fact, the first jigsaw puzzles were designed as practice maps for eighteenth-century geography classes!
Fake Places
Mapmakers need to make sure that their work is not copied by others. To protect their work, many mapmakers add made-up towns or streets to their maps. Only the original mapmaker would know about the fake entry.
Modern Technology
Today, digital maps and GPS technology have revolutionized the way we explore our world. With the touch of a screen, we can see our exact location, plan routes, and even view real-time traffic updates.
1. What is a feature of the nearly 1,600-year-old map
A. It has triangles representing different districts. B. It demonstrates a rectangular landmass.
C. It displays a land surrounded by a river. D. It is the oldest map in Southwest Asia.
2. Which of the pictures best shows the modern form of the Greek scientist’s addition to the map
A. B.
C. D.
3. What does the passage intend to tell readers
A. The development of mapping technology. B. The significance of maps throughout history.
C. The history and interesting facts about maps. D. Some map-making tricks and techniques.
B
Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His “ExtraordinaryVoyages (航海)” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings.
For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the “phonotelephone” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent:
“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮濕的) with tears.”
Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. CaptainNemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潛艇) to violently attack ships. ForVerne human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
4. How does Mr. Smith contact his wife in In the Year 2889
A. By holding an in-person talk. B. By making a long-distance call.
C. By sending a letter back home. D. By having an instant video chat.
5. What is the“hard science fiction” based on
A. The unrealistic fantasies. B. The fictional technologies.
C. The latest research findings. D. The imagined future worlds.
6. What can we infer about Verne from Captain Nemo’s story
A. He is disappointed with human nature.
B. He is aware of the danger of technology.
C. He is in favour of scientific development.
D. He is different from the writers of his time.
7. Which of the following best describes Jules Verne according to the text
A. Strong-willed. B. Fantasy-seeking.
C. Positive-minded. D. Forward-thinking.
C
In the cutthroat world of artificial intelligence, long dominated by Silicon Valley, DeepSeek has emerged as an impressive new player. Since its debut in late 2023, this Chinese AI has stirred global attention, representing more than just another technological innovation. It’s a complex phenomenon that reflects the shifting landscape of innovation, power and cultural influence in the AI-driven era.
Developed by QuantumThink Labs in Shenzhen, DeepSeek was created by a team of ex-Google Brain engineers and Peking University experts. DeepSeek is not your average chatbot. Trained on an astonishing 20 trillion tokens, this multimodal model showcases linguistic proficiency, code generation capabilities and reasoning skills that rival or surpass its Western counterparts. What truly sets DeepSeek apart is its remarkable efficiency, delivering GPT-4-level performance with 30 percent less computational power.
In a strategic move, QuantumThink made a “l(fā)ite” version of DeepSeek open source, a decision that has sparked widespread adoption across the globe. Developers from cities like Lagos to Jakarta have quickly embraced it to create poetry generators and AI-powered farm management tools for rural India.
However, DeepSeek’s growing influence is not without challenges. There are concerns that US government may block American firms from using DeepSeek, mentioning data security concerns. Tariff (關(guān)稅) war could also be on the cards. Yet, such moves might backfire, potentially harming US startups that benefit from DeepSeek’s cost advantages.
The future of AI, with DeepSeek at the center, remains a mystery. Will it trigger a tech battle between the US and China, or will its open-source roots foster global collaboration DeepSeek’s story is not just about technology; it’s about the power of innovation and agency.
For too long, the AI narrative has been dominated by Western powers. Now, a Chinese lab has shown that innovation is not exclusive to the West. Whether we enter an AI arms race or begin a new era of global cooperation depends on how we choose to use and share this technology. As a Brazilian coder said, the future of AI must speak the language of both the developed and developing world to truly succeed.
8. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A. The creation of DeepSeek. B. The definition of DeepSeek.
C. The strengths of DeepSeek. D. The efficiency of DeepSeek.
9. What might be a challenge DeepSeek faces
A. Involvement in tariff war. B. The possibility of data leaking.
C. A decline in its competitiveness. D. A ban on its use from US government.
10. Which of the following best describes the future of AI
A. Uncertain. B. Secure. C. Promising. D. Depressing.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. AI should prioritize Western languages.
B. We will enter a new era of global AI cooperation.
C. Considering global needs is required to ensure AI’s success.
D. Developing countries will eventually dominate AI innovation.
D
Many people encourage competition and focus on success. “Giving up” is unacceptable. We are overjoyed at stories of people who persevered and succeeded. Friends and colleagues always encourage you to keep trying. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” “Follow your dream! Winners never quit!”
Perseverance is indeed important, to a limit. However, never take it too far. For one thing, goals and dreams might be beyond reach. Stories of achieving childhood dreams through perseverance might be encouraging, but actually they are not very informative, because nobody tells stories about the many people who persevered but failed after wasting a good part of their lives. It is indeed frustrating if you follow an unrealistic dream. For another, every road taken means another road is not taken. An unrealistic goal means missing out on other opportunities. What if everybody with the childhood dream of becoming an astronaut persistently kept trying forever Winners always wisely choose what to quit and what to pursue.
Recent studies have shown that being able to give up some goals and dreams and redirect your energy toward more reasonable ones is important for mental well-being and leads to higher quality of life in the long term. The psychological term is “goal disengagement”. If you are currently devoting too much time and effort to an impossible goal, here are some hints that might help.
First, do not tie a goal to your identity. Nobody can be defined by a single goal or interest. Besides, disengage from a goal but keep some of the effort. It’s called “turning it into a hobby”. Few stamp and coin collectors desire to become professionals, yet many enjoy collecting. Last and most important, do not think of giving. up as a failure; but as a choice. Your time is limited. Try new activities, rediscover previous interests, and revise your ambitions. Be honest with yourself about your chances, and choose the goals that best suit you. And remember that, when you give up a goal, you do not fail. You make a choice to free up your time for other possibilities.
12. Which of the following. can replace the underlined word “informative”
A. Moving. B. Direct. C. Instructive. D. Possible.
13 How can people benefit from “goal disengagement”
A. By gaining a sense of self-satisfaction.
B. By motivating their desire for success.
C. By saving energy to focus on practical goals.
D. By telling easy goals from difficult goals.
14. Which of the following may the author agree with
A. Letting go of an unrealistic goal is failure.
B. One can make a hobby out of an unreachable goal.
C. Turn to professionals for help when realizing personal goals.
D. Choosing a goal is more challenging than realizing it.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Identity Crisis: Be True to Yourself
B. Goals or Hobbies: Make Your Choice
C. Never Say Never: The Key to Success
D. Winners Do Quit: Be Wise About Your Goals

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
As a forest ranger (護(hù)林員), I was making an inspection tour as usual on a misty dawn. Boots sank into the damp path, each step breaking the deep quiet of the ancient woodland. As I adjusted the camera trap on a trunk, its lens (鏡頭) was still covered with raindrops from last night. Suddenly, a weak crying sound cut through the fog.
Pushing through wet bushes, I stopped instantly. There, in the shallow muddy river, lay an elephant calf (幼崽). Its reddish-brown fur was dirty with mud. The calf’s back leg was trapped unnaturally beneath a messy pile of old wire netting — the kind illegal woodcutters used to mark territories. Old metal pieces were cruel marks of humans in this wild nature reserve. His dark brown eyes locked onto mine, and unexpectedly my normal forest check became a fight against time.
The calf struggled with little strength, and its leg got stuck tighter in the sharp metal wires every time he moved. I thought of Professor Liang, an expert in wildlife protection, who once said, “For endangered species, humans are both threat and hope.” Therefore, I carefully opened my field work-box. The scissors felt tiny as I tried to cut the wires. One wrong move could hurt the calf. Just as I started cutting, a roar came from the fog.
Behind me, the bushes shook violently. Out of the mist came an adult elephant, with ears flapping (拍打) like a storm cloud. She stopped ten steps away, strong muscles tense under gray skin. The morning sunlight cast the mother’s shadow over the trapped calf. We formed a tense triangle — human, mother and calf — bound by fear. A sharp cry of a bird cut through the tension. Its black wings broke the quiet, as if nature itself was watching this delicate moment.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個左右；
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
The mother elephant took a step forward, her eyes never leaving me.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hours later, I watched the mother elephant and her calf from a distance through cameras.

Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His “ExtraordinaryVoyages (航海)” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings.
For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the “phonotelephone” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent:
“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮濕的) with tears.”
Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. CaptainNemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潛艇) to violently attack ships. ForVerne human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
4. How does Mr. Smith contact his wife in In the Year 2889
A. By holding an in-person talk. B. By making a long-distance call.
C. By sending a letter back home. D. By having an instant video chat.
5. What is the“hard science fiction” based on
A. The unrealistic fantasies. B. The fictional technologies.
C. The latest research findings. D. The imagined future worlds.
6. What can we infer about Verne from Captain Nemo’s story
A. He is disappointed with human nature.
B. He is aware of the danger of technology.
C. He is in favour of scientific development.
D. He is different from the writers of his time.
7. Which of the following best describes Jules Verne according to the text

In the cutthroat world of artificial intelligence, long dominated by Silicon Valley, DeepSeek has emerged as an impressive new player. Since its debut in late 2023, this Chinese AI has stirred global attention, representing more than just another technological innovation. It’s a complex phenomenon that reflects the shifting landscape of innovation, power and cultural influence in the AI-driven era.
Developed by QuantumThink Labs in Shenzhen, DeepSeek was created by a team of ex-Google Brain engineers and Peking University experts. DeepSeek is not your average chatbot. Trained on an astonishing 20 trillion tokens, this multimodal model showcases linguistic proficiency, code generation capabilities and reasoning skills that rival or surpass its Western counterparts. What truly sets DeepSeek apart is its remarkable efficiency, delivering GPT-4-level performance with 30 percent less computational power.
In a strategic move, QuantumThink made a “l(fā)ite” version of DeepSeek open source, a decision that has sparked widespread adoption across the globe. Developers from cities like Lagos to Jakarta have quickly embraced it to create poetry generators and AI-powered farm management tools for rural India.
However, DeepSeek’s growing influence is not without challenges. There are concerns that US government may block American firms from using DeepSeek, mentioning data security concerns. Tariff (關(guān)稅) war could also be on the cards. Yet, such moves might backfire, potentially harming US startups that benefit from DeepSeek’s cost advantages.
The future of AI, with DeepSeek at the center, remains a mystery. Will it trigger a tech battle between the US and China, or will its open-source roots foster global collaboration DeepSeek’s story is not just about technology; it’s about the power of innovation and agency.
For too long, the AI narrative has been dominated by Western powers. Now, a Chinese lab has shown that innovation is not exclusive to the West. Whether we enter an AI arms race or begin a new era of global cooperation depends on how we choose to use and share this technology. As a Brazilian coder said, the future of AI must speak the language of both the developed and developing world to truly succeed.
8. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A. The creation of DeepSeek. B. The definition of DeepSeek.
C. The strengths of DeepSeek. D. The efficiency of DeepSeek.
9. What might be a challenge DeepSeek faces
A. Involvement in tariff war. B. The possibility of data leaking.
C. A decline in its competitiveness. D. A ban on its use from US government.
10. Which of the following best describes the future of AI
A. Uncertain. B. Secure. C. Promising. D. Depressing.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. AI should prioritize Western languages.
B. We will enter a new era of global AI cooperation.
C. Considering global needs is required to ensure AI’s success.
D. Developing countries will eventually dominate AI innovation.

Many people encourage competition and focus on success. “Giving up” is unacceptable. We are overjoyed at stories of people who persevered and succeeded. Friends and colleagues always encourage you to keep trying. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” “Follow your dream! Winners never quit!”
Perseverance is indeed important, to a limit. However, never take it too far. For one thing, goals and dreams might be beyond reach. Stories of achieving childhood dreams through perseverance might be encouraging, but actually they are not very informative, because nobody tells stories about the many people who persevered but failed after wasting a good part of their lives. It is indeed frustrating if you follow an unrealistic dream. For another, every road taken means another road is not taken. An unrealistic goal means missing out on other opportunities. What if everybody with the childhood dream of becoming an astronaut persistently kept trying forever Winners always wisely choose what to quit and what to pursue.
Recent studies have shown that being able to give up some goals and dreams and redirect your energy toward more reasonable ones is important for mental well-being and leads to higher quality of life in the long term. The psychological term is “goal disengagement”. If you are currently devoting too much time and effort to an impossible goal, here are some hints that might help.
First, do not tie a goal to your identity. Nobody can be defined by a single goal or interest. Besides, disengage from a goal but keep some of the effort. It’s called “turning it into a hobby”. Few stamp and coin collectors desire to become professionals, yet many enjoy collecting. Last and most important, do not think of giving. up as a failure; but as a choice. Your time is limited. Try new activities, rediscover previous interests, and revise your ambitions. Be honest with yourself about your chances, and choose the goals that best suit you. And remember that, when you give up a goal, you do not fail. You make a choice to free up your time for other possibilities.
12. Which of the following. can replace the underlined word “informative”
A. Moving. B. Direct. C. Instructive. D. Possible.
13. How can people benefit from “goal disengagement”
A. By gaining a sense of self-satisfaction.
B. By motivating their desire for success.
C. By saving energy to focus on practical goals.
D. By telling easy goals from difficult goals.
14. Which of the following may the author agree with
A. Letting go of an unrealistic goal is failure.
B. One can make a hobby out of an unreachable goal.
C. Turn to professionals for help when realizing personal goals.
D. Choosing a goal is more challenging than realizing it.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Identity Crisis: Be True to Yourself
B. Goals or Hobbies: Make Your Choice
C. Never Say Never: The Key to Success
D. Winners Do Quit: Be Wise About Your Goals
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章指出堅持雖重要，但不應(yīng)過度，要懂得放棄不切實際的目標(biāo)，進(jìn)行“目標(biāo)脫離”，并給出相關(guān)建議，強調(diào)要明智對待目標(biāo)。
【12題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在句“Stories of achieving childhood dreams through perseverance might be encouraging, but actually they are not very informative, because nobody tells stories about the many people who persevered but failed after wasting a good part of their lives. (通過堅持實現(xiàn)童年夢想的故事可能很鼓舞人心，但實際上它們并不是很……，因為沒有人講述那些堅持了卻在浪費了大半生后失敗的人的故事)”中“but”和“because nobody tells stories about the many people who persevered but failed after wasting a good part of their lives”可知，前后文之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，這些故事雖鼓舞人心，但沒有提及失敗的情況，所以它們沒有教育性。informative的意思是“有指導(dǎo)意義的”，與C項“Instructive”同義。故選C項。
【13題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Recent studies have shown that being able to give up some goals and dreams and redirect your energy toward more reasonable ones is important for mental well-being and leads to higher quality of life in the long term. The psychological term is ‘goal disengagement’. (最近研究表明，能夠放棄一些目標(biāo)和夢想，并將精力重新投入到更合理的目標(biāo)上，對心理健康很重要，并從長遠(yuǎn)來看會帶來更高質(zhì)量的生活。心理學(xué)術(shù)語是‘目標(biāo)脫離’)”可知，人們可以通過“目標(biāo)脫離”節(jié)省精力去關(guān)注實際的目標(biāo)。故選C項。
【14題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“Besides, disengage from a goal but keep some of the effort. It’s called ‘turning it into a hobby’.

You make a choice to free up your time for other possibilities. (誠實地評估自己成功的機會，選擇最適合你的目標(biāo)。記住，當(dāng)你放棄一個目標(biāo)時，你并沒有失敗。你是做出了一個選擇，為其他可能性騰出時間)”可知，文章強調(diào)要明智對待目標(biāo)，懂得放棄不切實際的目標(biāo)。“Winners Do Quit: Be Wise About Your Goals(成功者也會放棄：明智對待你的目標(biāo))”能概括文章主旨。故選D項。

【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了國家級非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)“打鐵花”。
【36題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：“打鐵花”這種民間文化表演技藝，最早出現(xiàn)在北宋時期，已有一千多年的歷史。“First ____1____ (appear) in the Northern Song Dynasty”在句中作狀語，appear(出現(xiàn))是非謂語動詞，與其邏輯主語“Striking iron flower”（用it替代）之間是主動關(guān)系，且表示伴隨情況，用現(xiàn)在分詞形式。故填appearing。
【37題詳解】
考查介詞。句意：“打鐵花”主要流傳于黃河中下游地區(qū)，被視為黃河流域十大民間藝術(shù)之一。be regarded as是固定短語，意為“被視為，被看作”。故填as。
【38題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：打鐵花藝人在幾千度的鐵花中自由進(jìn)退而不被燒傷。without是介詞，后面接動名詞作賓語，且burn(燒傷)與邏輯主語“The iron flower artists”之間是被動關(guān)系，用動名詞的被動式，burn的過去分詞可以是burnt或burned。故填being burnt/being burned。
【39題詳解】
考查形容詞。句意：鐵花似乎向四面八方飛濺，帶來一場震撼的視覺盛宴。提示詞修飾名詞短語visual feast，用形容詞powerful作定語，意為“強大的，震撼的”。故填powerful。
40題詳解】
考查時態(tài)和主謂一致。句意：這種民間藝術(shù)深受農(nóng)村群眾喜愛，表達(dá)了人們對好運的渴望和對災(zāi)難的規(guī)避，人們通過它祈求風(fēng)調(diào)雨順、五谷豐登。express(表達(dá))是并列謂語動詞，與主語“The folk art”之間是主動關(guān)系，描述客觀事實用一般現(xiàn)在時，主語是不可數(shù)名詞，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。故填expresses。
【41題詳解】
考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。句意：這種民間藝術(shù)深受農(nóng)村群眾喜愛，表達(dá)了人們對好運的渴望和對災(zāi)難的規(guī)避，人們通過它祈求風(fēng)調(diào)雨順、五谷豐登。condition(狀況，條件)是可數(shù)名詞，“風(fēng)調(diào)雨順”指多種天氣狀況，用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填conditions。
【42題詳解】
考查冠詞。句意：“打鐵花”融合了道家文化、民族習(xí)俗和民間工藝，在活躍人民文化生活、增強民族自豪感以及毫無疑問地增強民族團(tuán)結(jié)方面發(fā)揮著重要作用。play an important role in是固定短語，意為“在……中起重要作用”，important是發(fā)音以元音音素開頭的單詞，用不定冠詞an。故填an。
【43題詳解】
考查連詞。句意：“打鐵花”融合了道家文化、民族習(xí)俗和民間工藝，在活躍人民文化生活、增強民族自豪感以及毫無疑問地增強民族團(tuán)結(jié)方面發(fā)揮著重要作用。“activating the cultural life of the people”、“strengthening national pride”和“enhancing national unity”是并列關(guān)系，用并列連詞and連接。故填and。
【44題詳解】
考查副詞。句意：目前，“打鐵花”被越來越多欣賞和贊揚其藝術(shù)價值的人所熟知。提示詞在句中作狀語，修飾整個句子，用副詞currently，意為“目前，當(dāng)前”；句首單詞首字母大寫。故填Currently。
【45題詳解】
考查定語從句。句意：目前，“打鐵花”被越來越多欣賞和贊揚其藝術(shù)價值的人所熟知。“____10____ appreciate and praise its artistic value”為限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞people，指人，關(guān)系詞替代先行詞在定語從句中作主語，應(yīng)使用關(guān)系代詞who/that引導(dǎo)該從句。故填who/that。

第二節(jié)（滿分25分）
47. 閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
As a forest ranger (護(hù)林員), I was making an inspection tour as usual on a misty dawn. Boots sank into the damp path, each step breaking the deep quiet of the ancient woodland. As I adjusted the camera trap on a trunk, its lens (鏡頭) was still covered with raindrops from last night. Suddenly, a weak crying sound cut through the fog.
Pushing through wet bushes, I stopped instantly. There, in the shallow muddy river, lay an elephant calf (幼崽). Its reddish-brown fur was dirty with mud. The calf’s back leg was trapped unnaturally beneath a messy pile of old wire netting — the kind illegal woodcutters used to mark territories. Old metal pieces were cruel marks of humans in this wild nature reserve. His dark brown eyes locked onto mine, and unexpectedly my normal forest check became a fight against time.
The calf struggled with little strength, and its leg got stuck tighter in the sharp metal wires every time he moved. I thought of Professor Liang, an expert in wildlife protection, who once said, “For endangered species, humans are both threat and hope.” Therefore, I carefully opened my field work-box. The scissors felt tiny as I tried to cut the wires. One wrong move could hurt the calf. Just as I started cutting, a roar came from the fog.
Behind me, the bushes shook violently. Out of the mist came an adult elephant, with ears flapping (拍打) like a storm cloud. She stopped ten steps away, strong muscles tense under gray skin. The morning sunlight cast the mother’s shadow over the trapped calf. We formed a tense triangle — human, mother and calf — bound by fear. A sharp cry of a bird cut through the tension. Its black wings broke the quiet, as if nature itself was watching this delicate moment.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個左右；
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
The mother elephant took a step forward, her eyes never leaving me.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hours later, I watched the mother elephant and her calf from a distance through cameras.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The mother elephant took a step forward, her eyes never leaving me. I stood still, my heart pounding wildly. She approached cautiously and gently nudged the calf with her trunk. The trapped leg was now even more tightly caught in the wires. I knew I had to do something fast. With trembling hands, I resumed cutting the wires, all the while keeping an eye on the mother elephant. To my relief, she seemed to sense my intention and remained calm. After what felt like an eternity, the last piece of wire fell away, freeing the calf’s leg.
Hours later, I watched the mother elephant and her calf from a distance through cameras. They were walking slowly but steadily towards the heart of the forest. The calf occasionally stumbled, but the mother was always there to support him. Seeing them disappear into the greenery, a wave of emotion washed over me. This encounter reminded me of the delicate balance between humans and wildlife. We have the power to destroy, but also the ability to heal. As long as we choose hope over threat, there will always be a chance for coexistence.
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文以護(hù)林員救助幼象的經(jīng)歷為線索展開，講述了護(hù)林員在執(zhí)行巡邏任務(wù)時，發(fā)現(xiàn)一只幼象被困在非法伐木者留下的鐵絲網(wǎng)中，正當(dāng)他試圖解救幼象時，幼象的母親出現(xiàn)，現(xiàn)場氣氛緊張。
【詳解】段落續(xù)寫：
由第一段首句內(nèi)容“母象向前邁了一步，眼睛始終沒有離開我。”可知，第一段可描寫母象靠近幼象，護(hù)林員克服內(nèi)心恐懼，在母象的注視下繼續(xù)解救幼象的過程。
由第二段首句內(nèi)容“幾個小時后，我通過攝像機從遠(yuǎn)處觀察著母象和幼象。”可知，第二段可描寫幼象和母象逐漸遠(yuǎn)去，護(hù)林員對此事件進(jìn)行反思，表達(dá)人類與野生動物和諧共處的期望。
續(xù)寫線索：母象靠近 —— 護(hù)林員緊張 —— 繼續(xù)解救 —— 幼象脫困 —— 母象和幼象離開 —— 護(hù)林員反思
