Down House, home of Charles Darwin:
Fun fact
Charles Darwin, his wife, Emma, and their children lived at Down House for 40 years from 1838. Several rooms appear as if the family still live here: with croquet sets thrown into an under-stairs cupboard, a half-played game of backgammon on a side table and Emma’s knitting(毛线)left on a chair in the drawing room. Upstairs, an exhibition showcases Darwin’s voyage aboard HMS Beagle, including a reconstruction of his cabin. Outside, visitors can explore the sheltered gardens which Darwin used as an open-air laboratory, and the greenhouse in which he planted rare plants and devised botanical experiments.
No room at Down House escaped Darwin’s experiments. In the drawing room he once placed a jar of earthworms on the grand piano to see whether they could hear.

The R8 bus from Orpington stops nearby (except Sundays)or the 146 bus from Bromley North and South terminates(终点站)in Downe village, half a mile from the property. The nearest railway stations are Chelsfield or Orpington, about four miles away.
Value for money
It’s ￡12(adult), ￡7.20(child), or ￡31.30(family with 2 adults). Under 5s go free.

When a young man with autism(自闭)couldn’t realize his dream of riding on the Polar Express, the train staff helped make his wish come true.
18-year-old Ty Swartout is autistic and unable to speak, and he also loves The Polar Express. In addition to reading the book hundreds of times, he is sure to watch the movie every month. So when his parents discovered that there was a real-life version of the magic holiday train at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel in Williams, Arizona, they knew a trip there is a must thing to be orchestrated.
Ty handled the four-hour drive to the railway hotel with ease. As he and his parents ate dinner and prepared to board the train, however, Ty became more and more over-stimulated because of the excitement of the visit. After experiencing two minor meltdowns (a breakdown of self-control), Ty was too thrilled to board the train.
The train staff refused to leave without Ty, but his parents told them to go ahead without them. “The staff of the Grand Canyon Railway insisted on helping,” Ty’s mother Angie said. “They even held the train, for which I was beyond grateful. Finally, I had to say let us go back to the room.”
Hardly had they got back to their hotel room when they heard a knock at the door from a member of the hotel staff and a police officer who had stopped by to make sure that Ty was okay. Not only that, they said that they wanted to do something to make it up to Ty.
As hotel staff helped Ty’s father Lloyd rearrange their visit on the Grand Canyon Expressway with free special accommodations, Ty and Angie read The Polar Express, only to be visited by the real-life railway train conductor. He sat next to Ty’s bed and engaged him in conversation. Ty was so thrilled and happy.
“After the conductor left, my husband told me that they wanted everyone to experience something special and magical,” Angie continued. “We got the gift of human kindness!”
24.What does the underlined word “orchestrated” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Scheduled. B. Drafted. C. Confirmed. D. Postponed.
25.What can we learn from the passage
A. Ty is autistic but he is fond of communicating with people.
B. Ty’s father drove them to the railway hotel with ease.
C. Ty’s family was greatly struck by people’s sympathy.
D. Hotel staff sat next to Ty’s bed and entertained him.
26.When was Ty visited by the train conductor
A. When he was suffering a meltdown. B. When he was in the middle of reading.
C. Right after he got back to the hotel room. D. When he made his way to the railway hotel.
27.What is the best title for the passage
A. Polar Express Surprises Boy with Autism B. Helping Others Is Helping Ourselves
C. Autism Is Cured by Human Kindness D. Don’t Hesitate to Realize Your Dream
C
CONSERVATIONISTS are hoping to create England’s biggest native woodland by planting 100,000 trees in the Yorkshire Dales.
Snaizeholme, near the town of Hawes, was covered in woodland centuries ago but the 561-hectare valley is now almost barren(贫瘠的). Across the Yorkshire Dales, total tree cover amounts to just five per cent, the Woodland Trust has said, with ancient woodland making up just one per cent of that cover.
The trust wants to raise 8 million for a decades-long program that will see a restored forest providing habitats for threatened species such as woodland birds and black grouse. Planted trees will be mostly native broadleaved species such as alder, silver birch, down birch, willow, aspen, rowan, hawthorn and blackthorn, with montane species on the higher slopes.
Al Nash, who is heading the project for the Woodland Trust, said, “I love the Dales but the one thing it lacks in many areas is an abundance(丰富性)of trees. Here we will be giving nature and biodiversity a big boost and creating a rich variety of habitats. It is a rare opportunity to create a sizeable wildlife conservation area for the north of England. It’s clearly a wonderful opportunity to create something real that can be seen and touched in the Yorkshire Dales for the fight against climate change.”
The first stage of planting has already begun with funding from the White Rose Forest, DEFRA and corporate donors. More trees than needed will be planted as not all will survive in the windswept, rainy upland valley. They will be arranged at random and without plastic guards to help stimulate natural forest growth, the trust said.
28.How does the author illustrate the problem of the woodland loss
A. By providing data. B. By listing examples.
C. By making comments. D. By giving explanations.
29.What is the message conveyed in paragraph 4
A. The trend of global warming. B. The decline in variety of trees.
C. The significance of the project. D. The campaign of restoring habitats.
30.Why will more trees than needed be planted
A. To facilitate the random growth of trees.
B. To guarantee a higher survival rate of trees.
C. To strengthen defence against wind and rain.
D. To sustain the balance between varieties of trees.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. A Breakthrough Made in Forest Growth.
B. Funds Being Raised to Plant Trees in England.
C. Conservationists Taking Action to Help England.
D. England’s Largest Native Woodland to Be Created.
D
Do you listen to the songs that your parents like Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old and dull and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler.
But here is what scientists found recently: people’s music tastes change as they age, according to a study published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. So it’s likely that your own musical preference will follow a similar path to your parents’, whether you like it or not.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge, UK, collected data(资料)from more than 250,000 people over the past 10 years. They noticed that as people age, their social circumstances(环境)change, and so does their music taste.
There are three musical periods that people pass through as they grow.
The first period comes in the teenage years, during which time people like punk and rock because teenagers want people to regard them as independent individuals(个体).
But as people move into early adulthood(成年), their lifestyle changes—they get to know more people and want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they prefer pop and R&B, which are often played at parties where people hang out together and chat.
When middle age comes, people like to listen to jazz and classical. They also like country, folk, and blues.
“During this period of life, many people often feel tired because of their work and family, and there is a requirement for relaxing and emotive(动情的) music,” said Jason Rentfrow, a research member.
But you must be thinking: “Aren’t there old people who still love rock music ” Of course there are. But Rentfrow explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. “We use music for different reasons,” he said, and at that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youths.
32.The underlined word “dull” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “________”.
A. hot B. sick C. enjoyable D. boring
33.Mike is twenty years old. What kind of music does he most probably like
A. Pop. B. Jazz. C. Country. D. Classical.
34.According to Jason Rentfrow, middle age is a period when people ________.
A. feel relaxed about their work B. are under much stress
C. want to stay with their family D. like all kinds of music
35.Which of the following is a suitable title for this passage
A. Why Do People Listen to Music B. What Influences People’s Music Taste
C. Do You Have a Talent for Music D. Do Young People Like Classical Music

Richie and her husband, Pooh, decided on visiting Cape Cod, a beautiful sea town, which is about three hours drive from the city of Boston. Their daughter who then lived in Salem close to Boston insisted that she would pick them up. But they were confident of their sense of direction and not wanting to trouble her, so they refused her offer. They decided to take their journey in their own car and started early in the morning.
After a three-hour drive, they arrived in Cape Cod and started their new discovery with a road map of the town and its suburbs. Since there were many places to see, it took them the whole day to finish their sightseeing.
Now, they were visiting a suburb with shops selling handmade items. Richie was most interested in shopping, while Pooh warned her to finish before it started getting dark. They were so absorbed in their shopping that they forgot about the time until the shops began to close.
They took the same route back. Pooh had a very good memory and a keen sense of direction and so Richie just blindly followed him, without knowing where they were heading to. Soon they found themselves just going round in a maze, realizing they got lost on the way.
They had to stop the car, referred to their map, and started again. After some time, they realized it was no use trying and finding their way back. Their mobile phones had been dead for hours, and it was impossible to contact their daughter. Having no other option, they decided to ask someone for help, but being a Sunday, the roads were empty, with no people walking around or cars passing by. They were getting worried and terrified with each passing minute. The darkness and panic filled Richie’s head with horrible thoughts “Would they be robbed or attacked ”After hours of waiting silently in the darkness, they decided to try again.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Pooh turned the key and tried to start the car, but it wouldn’t move. ________________________________

Paragraph 2:
On the edge of despair, they heard the whistle of a car. __________________________________________

The pictures range from portraits of people to photos of cafes and shops. The exhibition is touring England, starting in Derby from 17 March to 9 April. The photos will be shown in different ways, such as in shop windows and on big advertising boards.
In London, the show will also feature photos by Jamil, who has been working with primary school pupils.

Down House, home of Charles Darwin:
Fun fact
Charles Darwin, his wife, Emma, and their children lived at Down House for 40 years from 1838. Several rooms appear as if the family still live here: with croquet sets thrown into an under-stairs cupboard, a half-played game of backgammon on a side table and Emma’s knitting(毛线)left on a chair in the drawing room. Upstairs, an exhibition showcases Darwin’s voyage aboard HMS Beagle, including a reconstruction of his cabin. Outside, visitors can explore the sheltered gardens which Darwin used as an open-air laboratory, and the greenhouse in which he planted rare plants and devised botanical experiments.
No room at Down House escaped Darwin’s experiments. In the drawing room he once placed a jar of earthworms on the grand piano to see whether they could hear.
Getting there
A 15-minute drive from the A21/Farnborough. Free parking. The R8 bus from Orpington stops nearby (except Sundays)or the 146 bus from Bromley North and South terminates(终点站)in Downe village, half a mile from the property. The nearest railway stations are Chelsfield or Orpington, about four miles away.
Value for money
It’s ￡12(adult), ￡7.20(child), or ￡31.30(family with 2 adults). Under 5s go free.
Opening hours
Open daily 10 a.m.—6 p.m. from 30 March to 30 September; daily 10 a.m.—5 p.m. between 1 to 31 October. Opening times vary through the winter(check website for details).

(河北省“五个一”名校联盟2022-2023学年高一下学期6月联考)When a young man with autism(自闭)couldn’t realize his dream of riding on the Polar Express, the train staff helped make his wish come true.
18-year-old Ty Swartout is autistic and unable to speak, and he also loves The Polar Express. In addition to reading the book hundreds of times, he is sure to watch the movie every month. So when his parents discovered that there was a real-life version of the magic holiday train at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel in Williams, Arizona, they knew a trip there is a must thing to be orchestrated.
Ty handled the four-hour drive to the railway hotel with ease. As he and his parents ate dinner and prepared to board the train, however, Ty became more and more over-stimulated because of the excitement of the visit. After experiencing two minor meltdowns (a breakdown of self-control), Ty was too thrilled to board the train.
The train staff refused to leave without Ty, but his parents told them to go ahead without them. “The staff of the Grand Canyon Railway insisted on helping,” Ty’s mother Angie said. “They even held the train, for which I was beyond grateful. Finally, I had to say let us go back to the room.”
Hardly had they got back to their hotel room when they heard a knock at the door from a member of the hotel staff and a police officer who had stopped by to make sure that Ty was okay. Not only that, they said that they wanted to do something to make it up to Ty.
As hotel staff helped Ty’s father Lloyd rearrange their visit on the Grand Canyon Expressway with free special accommodations, Ty and Angie read The Polar Express, only to be visited by the real-life railway train conductor. He sat next to Ty’s bed and engaged him in conversation. Ty was so thrilled and happy.
“After the conductor left, my husband told me that they wanted everyone to experience something special and magical,” Angie continued. “We got the gift of human kindness!”
24.What does the underlined word “orchestrated” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Scheduled. B. Drafted. C. Confirmed. D. Postponed.
25.What can we learn from the passage
A. Ty is autistic but he is fond of communicating with people.
B. Ty’s father drove them to the railway hotel with ease.
C. Ty’s family was greatly struck by people’s sympathy.
D. Hotel staff sat next to Ty’s bed and entertained him.
26.When was Ty visited by the train conductor
A. When he was suffering a meltdown. B. When he was in the middle of reading.
C. Right after he got back to the hotel room. D. When he made his way to the railway hotel.
27.What is the best title for the passage
A. Polar Express Surprises Boy with Autism B. Helping Others Is Helping Ourselves

(浙江省绍兴市2022-2023学年高二下学期期末)CONSERVATIONISTS are hoping to create England’s biggest native woodland by planting 100,000 trees in the Yorkshire Dales.
Snaizeholme, near the town of Hawes, was covered in woodland centuries ago but the 561-hectare valley is now almost barren(贫瘠的). Across the Yorkshire Dales, total tree cover amounts to just five per cent, the Woodland Trust has said, with ancient woodland making up just one per cent of that cover.
The trust wants to raise 8 million for a decades-long program that will see a restored forest providing habitats for threatened species such as woodland birds and black grouse. Planted trees will be mostly native broadleaved species such as alder, silver birch, down birch, willow, aspen, rowan, hawthorn and blackthorn, with montane species on the higher slopes.
Al Nash, who is heading the project for the Woodland Trust, said, “I love the Dales but the one thing it lacks in many areas is an abundance(丰富性)of trees. Here we will be giving nature and biodiversity a big boost and creating a rich variety of habitats. It is a rare opportunity to create a sizeable wildlife conservation area for the north of England. It’s clearly a wonderful opportunity to create something real that can be seen and touched in the Yorkshire Dales for the fight against climate change.”
The first stage of planting has already begun with funding from the White Rose Forest, DEFRA and corporate donors. More trees than needed will be planted as not all will survive in the windswept, rainy upland valley. They will be arranged at random and without plastic guards to help stimulate natural forest growth, the trust said.
28.How does the author illustrate the problem of the woodland loss
A. By providing data. B. By listing examples.
C. By making comments. D. By giving explanations.
29.What is the message conveyed in paragraph 4
A. The trend of global warming. B. The decline in variety of trees.
C. The significance of the project. D. The campaign of restoring habitats.
30.Why will more trees than needed be planted
A. To facilitate the random growth of trees.
B. To guarantee a higher survival rate of trees.
C. To strengthen defence against wind and rain.
D. To sustain the balance between varieties of trees.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. A Breakthrough Made in Forest Growth.
B. Funds Being Raised to Plant Trees in England.
C. Conservationists Taking Action to Help England.
D. England’s Largest Native Woodland to Be Created.
【答案与解析】这是一篇新闻报道。环保人士希望通过在约克郡山谷种植10万棵树，创造出英格兰最大的原生林地。文章介绍了林地流失的问题以及项目的具体开展过程。
28.推理判断题。根据第二段“Snaizeholme, near the town of Hawes, was covered in woodland centuries ago but the 561-hectare valley is now almost barren(贫瘠的). Across the Yorkshire Dales, total tree cover amounts to just five per cent, the Woodland Trust has said, with ancient woodland making up just one per cent of that cover.(位于霍斯镇附近的Snaizeholme在几个世纪前被森林覆盖，但现在这个561公顷的山谷几乎是贫瘠的。林地信托基金会表示，在整个约克郡山谷，树木覆盖率仅为5%，其中古代林地仅占1%)”可知，作者通过提供数据说明林地流失的问题。故选A。
29.推理判断题。根据第四段“Al Nash, who is heading the project for the Woodland Trust, said, “I love the Dales but the one thing it lacks in many areas is an abundance(丰富性)of trees. Here we will be giving nature and biodiversity a big boost and creating a rich variety of habitats. It is a rare opportunity to create a sizeable wildlife conservation area for the north of England. It’s clearly a wonderful opportunity to create something real that can be seen and touched in the Yorkshire Dales for the fight against climate change.”(阿尔·纳什是林地信托基金项目的负责人，他说：“我喜欢山谷，但很多地方都缺少树木。在这里，我们将大大促进自然和生物多样性，创造丰富多样的栖息地。这是一个难得的机会，可以在英格兰北部建立一个相当大的野生动物保护区。这显然是一个绝佳的机会，可以创造一些真实的东西，在约克郡山谷可以看到和触摸到，以应对气候变化。”)”可知，第4段传达的信息是该项目的意义。故选C。
30.细节理解题。根据最后一段“More trees than needed will be planted as not all will survive in the windswept, rainy upland valley.(由于并非所有的树木都能在大风多雨的高地山谷中存活，因此种植的树木将超过所需的数量)”可知，种更多的树是为了保证树木的高成活率。故选B。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“CONSERVATIONISTS are hoping to create England’s biggest native woodland by planting 100,000 trees in the Yorkshire Dales.(环保人士希望通过在约克郡山谷种植10万棵树，创造出英格兰最大的原生林地)”结合文章介绍了林地流失的问题以及项目的具体开展过程。可知，D选项“英格兰最大的原生林地将被创造”

(湖南省株洲市炎陵县2022-2023学年高一下学期6月期末)Do you listen to the songs that your parents like Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old and dull and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler.
But here is what scientists found recently: people’s music tastes change as they age, according to a study published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. So it’s likely that your own musical preference will follow a similar path to your parents’, whether you like it or not.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge, UK, collected data(资料)from more than 250,000 people over the past 10 years. They noticed that as people age, their social circumstances(环境)change, and so does their music taste.
There are three musical periods that people pass through as they grow.
The first period comes in the teenage years, during which time people like punk and rock because teenagers want people to regard them as independent individuals(个体).
But as people move into early adulthood(成年), their lifestyle changes—they get to know more people and want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they prefer pop and R&B, which are often played at parties where people hang out together and chat.
When middle age comes, people like to listen to jazz and classical. They also like country, folk, and blues.
“During this period of life, many people often feel tired because of their work and family, and there is a requirement for relaxing and emotive(动情的) music,” said Jason Rentfrow, a research member.
But you must be thinking: “Aren’t there old people who still love rock music ” Of course there are. But Rentfrow explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. “We use music for different reasons,” he said, and at that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youths.
32.The underlined word “dull” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “________”.
A. hot B. sick C. enjoyable D. boring
33.Mike is twenty years old. What kind of music does he most probably like
A. Pop. B. Jazz. C. Country. D. Classical.
34.According to Jason Rentfrow, middle age is a period when people ________.
A. feel relaxed about their work B. are under much stress
C. want to stay with their family D. like all kinds of music
35.Which of the following is a suitable title for this passage
A. Why Do People Listen to Music B. What Influences People’s Music Taste
C. Do You Have a Talent for Music D. Do Young People Like Classical Music
【答案与解析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了人们的音乐品味会随着年龄的增长而变化以及原因。
32.词义猜测题。根据第一段的“Do you listen to the songs that your parents like Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old.(你听你父母喜欢的歌吗？很可能你不喜欢。你可能认为他们喜欢的音乐已经过时了)”可知，在你看来，父母喜欢的音乐因为过时而“无聊”，由此推测boring可以解释dull。故选D。
33.推理判断题。根据第六段的“But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyle changes—they get to know more people and want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they prefer pop and R&B, which are often played at parties where people hang out together and chat.(但随着人们步入早期成年阶段，他们的生活方式发生了变化，他们认识了更多的人，并希望与他人建立密切的关系。因此，他们更喜欢流行乐和节奏蓝调，这两种音乐经常在聚会上播放，人们在聚会上一起聊天)”推知，20岁的Mike步入了早期成年阶段，因此会喜欢流行音乐。故选A。
34.细节理解题。根据第七段的“When middle age comes.(当中年来临时)”及第八段的“During this period of life, many people often feel tired because of their work and family.(在这段生活中，许多人经常因为工作和家庭而感到疲惫)”可知，中年时期人们感到压力很大。故选B。
35.主旨大意题。根据第二段的“But here is what scientists found recently: people’s music tastes change as they age, according to a study published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. (但科学家们最近发现：根据发表在《个性与社会心理学杂志》上的一项研究，人们的音乐品味随着年龄的增长而变化)”和第四段的“There are three musical periods that people pass through as they grow.(人们在成长过程中会经历三个音乐时期)”及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了人们的音乐品味会随着年龄的增长而变化并分阶段分析了相应的原因，因此B项(什么影响了人们的音乐品味)适合作标题。故选B。

【答案】
56.connected
57.incredibly
58.different
59.to entertain
60.boring
61.on
62.needs
63.it
64.changing
65.what
【解析】本文是说明文。科技给社会带来巨大的进步，但随之而来的，还有一系列的负面影响。
56.考查词性转换(形容词)。be动词后用形容词，密切的是connected，故填connected。句意：我们之间的联系从未像现在这样紧密。
57.考查词性转换(副词)。副词修饰形容词，作状语，故填incredibly。句意：此外，科技的使用使我们所有人的生活变得非常高效。
58.考查词性转换(形容词)。指代前面一件事，在定语从句中作主语，前面有逗号，用which引导，故填different。句意：此外，大多数人都能接触到技术，这有助于他们在许多不同的平台上表达自己，传播他们的思想和信仰。
59.考查非谓语动词。way后用动词不定式作定语，故填to entertain。句意：最后，科技给了人们许多娱乐自己的方式。
60.考查词性转换(形容词)。形容词修饰名词，作定语。修饰物表示令人无聊的是boring，故填boring。句意：各种各样的网站为那些无聊的夜晚提供了数小时的娱乐节目。
61.考查名词与介词的搭配。句意：尽管有些人可能看到社交媒体对人际关系有积极影响，而另一些人则认为完全相反。 对……的影响是effect on，故填on。
62.考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据前面的is可知，是一般现在时，主语it是单数，谓语动词用单数，故填needs。句意：与此同时，没有什么比在技术需要正常工作时却无法正常工作更令人沮丧的了。
63.考查作形式主语的it。it作形式主语代替后面的不定式短语：to determine whether the information is credible or not。在网上是on the internet，故填the。句意：此外，随着越来越多的人在互联网上发布信息，人们很难确定信息是否可信。
64.考查非谓语动词。and并列前后两个非谓语动词，作介词to的宾语，用动名词，故填changing。句意：这可能会导致虚假信息被认真对待，并改变那些相信它的人的观点。
65.考查名词从句。know后是宾语从句，从句中provide缺少宾语，用what引导，故填what。句意：要了解技术，就必须了解它的优点和缺点。

(浙江省湖州市2022-2023学年高一下学期期末)Richie and her husband, Pooh, decided on visiting Cape Cod, a beautiful sea town, which is about three hours drive from the city of Boston. Their daughter who then lived in Salem close to Boston insisted that she would pick them up. But they were confident of their sense of direction and not wanting to trouble her, so they refused her offer. They decided to take their journey in their own car and started early in the morning.
After a three-hour drive, they arrived in Cape Cod and started their new discovery with a road map of the town and its suburbs. Since there were many places to see, it took them the whole day to finish their sightseeing.
Now, they were visiting a suburb with shops selling handmade items. Richie was most interested in shopping, while Pooh warned her to finish before it started getting dark. They were so absorbed in their shopping that they forgot about the time until the shops began to close.
They took the same route back. Pooh had a very good memory and a keen sense of direction and so Richie just blindly followed him, without knowing where they were heading to. Soon they found themselves just going round in a maze, realizing they got lost on the way.
They had to stop the car, referred to their map, and started again. After some time, they realized it was no use trying and finding their way back. Their mobile phones had been dead for hours, and it was impossible to contact their daughter. Having no other option, they decided to ask someone for help, but being a Sunday, the roads were empty, with no people walking around or cars passing by. They were getting worried and terrified with each passing minute. The darkness and panic filled Richie’s head with horrible thoughts “Would they be robbed or attacked ”After hours of waiting silently in the darkness, they decided to try again.

【答案】
Pooh turned the key and tried to start the car, but it wouldn’t move. They realized in a moment that the car was running out of oil because it had been on the road for too long. Richie asked, “what How can we get back to it ” Winnie thought calmly for a moment, and decided to see the trunk of the car to see what could be used. Unfortunately, there is nothing but a broken fire burner. Winnie suddenly thought of lighting wood to attract attention, so he collected some wood and lit them on a hill hill. But it took a long time to wait for no one to pass.
On the edge of despair, they heard the whistle of a car. They were immediately excited, and as the car approached, it pulled up in front of them and a familiar figure alighted. It was their daughter. They hugged each other in surprise and then excitement. They asked their daughter how she had found them. It turned out that the daughter had been tracking their location on her mobile phone at home. Seeing the smoke from their fire, she found them. They admired their daughter’s cleverness. Then the family went back home happily.
