The Kyiv City Ballet danced to a full theater in Paris for the company’s last show of its French tour. The tour has left the dancers without a place to go after the war started in Ukraine. In other times, performing at the Théatre du Chatelet would be a dream come true for the dancers. But with the ongoing war in their country, the dancers feel only a deep sadness.
“We are both physically and emotionally exhausted.” Ekaterina Kozlova said. She is the company’s assistant director. “Everyone in the ballet is worried about their families, loved ones, friends, colleagues at home. It’s been very difficult.”
The Théatre du Chatelet, in the center of Paris, offered them the stage on Tuesday for the group’s final show of a French tour. The dance director of the Paris Opera and some members of her company joined the Ukrainians for a class before performing several ballet classics together. They danced parts of Russian composer Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and The Nutcrackery.
For many of the dancers, the chance to train and dance was a way to think about “something other than the conflict in Ukraine,” Kozlova said. One of the dancers will be going to the Ukrainian border in the coming days to pick up her young daughter who was taken out of the country. Only some members of the company were traveling around France. Many of the ballet’s best dancers stayed behind, waiting to join their friends after they reached Paris.
“Most of our artists are detained in Paris.” Director Ivan Kozlova told the Paris crowd. The city of Paris and the ballet community have helped find temporary housing for the Ukrainian dancers who say they hope to continue dancing in France and elsewhere. The Chatelet theater offered the whole group a residency. But for now, Tuesday’s last-minute performance was their last. All sales from their performances will go to nongovernmental organizations collecting and sending humanitarian aid to Ukraine and neighboring countries.
4. What would the dancers feel about performing at the Théatre du Chatelet before the war
A. Pleased. B. Indifferent.
C. Sorrowful. D. Sympathetic.
5. What do we know about the Ukrainian dancers
A. They would leave Paris soon.
B. They would prevent the conflict.
C. Many best dancers stayed in Paris.
D. Some would go to the Ukrainian border.
6. What does the underlined word “detained” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Arrested. B. Stuck. C. Promoted. D. Educated.
7. Which of the following words can best describe the dancers
A. Enthusiastic and kind. B. Generous and professional.
C. Cooperative and ambitious. D. Courageous and calm.
C
In the research carried out at Tubingen University, scientists tracked the emotional(情绪的) responses of Facebook users in Germany and the US. They found that reading other people’s positive posts brought happiness to 64% of the people.
Think of it this way: Your good news positively influences your friends, who in turn positively influence their friends. With one positive post, you can brighten up the day of someone you have never met.
Researchers from four universities across the United States partnered with ehairmony, a popular dating website in America. They found that sharing positive news between partners increased happiness and life satisfaction.
Sharing your positive news also, research suggests, has direct benefits for municating a positive experience, you have had with another person heightens the powerful effect of the positive experience itself, because you get to relive the experience.
Then, how about negative emotions An online social network study in the US analyzed data from millions of Facebook users. And it found that rainfall would negatively affect the emotional content of people’s status updates(状态更新). And this influenced the negativity of posts made by friends in other cities who were not experiencing rainfall. Negativity, it showed, brings negativity.
Understanding the impact good and bad news can have on our moods is important for many reasons. The common aspect of these studies is that they show we want to hear good news and we are using social media as a medium to create and spread it.
Further evidence for this desire for cheering news can be found in the development of websites such as Positive News. It has become the world’s first crowd-funded(大众集资的) global media organization since being established in July. The website is now owned by 1,526 readers, journalists and supporters.
Sharing your good news might seem like a small gesture, but it can have a big effect and provide people with a life boat in the sea of negativity that is often mainstream media. Isn’t it we guided our own boat
8. What does Paragraph 2 intend to do
A. Show us the strong influence of Facebook.
B. Help us rethink the relationship between strangers.
C. Show us the rapid spread of information on the Internet.
D. Help us better understand the online emotional responses.
9. What can you gain from sharing your positive experiences
A. A chance to go through them again.
B. An opportunity to make new friends.
C. A different view on happiness and life satisfaction.
D. An obvious improvement in your communication skills.
10. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. Rainfall affects people’s emotions.
B. Facebook users’ personal data are unsafe.
C. Friends in different cities often chat on Facebook.
D. Negative feelings can also spread through social networks.
11. The popularity of Positive News can show ________.
A. the great importance of the Internet
B. people’s preference for positive news
C. the latest development of social media
D. people’s desire for more online information
D
After a day’s labor, Andreas Fichtner and his colleagues have spliced (绞接) together three segments of fibers, creating a 12.5-kilometer-long fiber-optic (光学的) cable. It will stay buried in the snow to spy on the activity of Grfmsvotn, a dangerous, glacier-covered volcano.
Fichtner, a geophysicist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich, is one of the researchers using fiber optics to take the pulse of our planet. Much of their work is done in remote places, from the tops of volcanoes to the bottoms of seas, where traditional monitoring is too costly or difficult.
The technique used by Fichtner’s team is called distributed acoustic sensing or DAS. “It’s almost like radar in the fiber,” says the physicist Giuseppe Marra of the United Kingdom’s National Physical Laboratory, in Teddington. While radar uses reflected radio waves to locate objects, DAS uses reflected light to detect events as varied as earthquake activity and moving traffic, and to determine where they occurred. Inside the cables are optical fibers. DAS involves shooting quick pulses of laser light down the fiber and detecting bits of light that scatter back to the laser source due to disturbances in the environment. When the earth’s surface vibrates and shifts, it pulls the cables, so a detector can identify these small changes.
The New York Times points out that although wireless and satellite technology are booming, good old-fashioned cables are still the most efficient way to send information across oceans. Repurposing cables could give scientists the ability to monitor high-risk zones that were previously hard to reach. They could help detect earthquakes and tsunamis a few seconds earlier than traditional warning systems.
In addition, fiber-optic cables could also help solve some of the biggest challenges for humans. In the recent years, scientists have started to use them to measure ocean waves and access fault (断层) information. It is believed that fiber-optic cables will serve to benefit us greatly in the future.
12. What is the purpose of the work of Fichtner’s team
A. To track volcanic activities. B. To strike oil under the sea.
C. To lengthen fiber-optic cables. D. To keep fibers covered in the snow.
13. What can we learn about the technique of DAS
A It determines when and where disasters occurs.
B. It uses radio waves to locate moving objects.
C. It improves the efficiency of transmitting light.
D. It detects tiny variation of the earth’s surface.
14. What does the underlined expression “Repurposing cables” probably mean
A. Recycling cables in new fields. B. Adapting cables for a new function.
C Installing cables beneath volcanoes. D. Promoting cables into massive production.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. DAS Is Feeling the Heartbeat of Volcanoes
B. Satellite Technology Is Booming in Our Times
C. Underground Cables Are Taking the Planet’s Pulse
D. Fiber-optic Cables Are Giving Us Insights into Earthquakes

Bill McDonnell was going crazy. Deer season had begun, but it was colder than usual. Up until his late 80s, Bill didn’t mind hunting in sub-zero temperature, but he had become slow in the past few years. The snow-covered mountains of the Shenandoah Valley were no place for a 92-year-old. He knew it, but still wanted to get outside.
It was about 7:30 a.m., still far below zero when the sun shone through trees. Bill had strict instructions from his wife Joanna to be out of woods by 2 p.m. and home by 3 p.m. — plenty of time before sunset, in case he missed the deadline, which he often did.
Not long into the hike, he came upon a path he didn’t remember. Maybe this was a secret route to the king of all deer. He took it.
It seemed that this path up the mountain had meandered (蜿蜒) quite a bit. After climbing to the top of a ridge (山脊), he figured that he could continue down into another valley for more hunt. But the farther he snaked down, the thinner and deeper it became. Before long, he was looking straight up from down the ravine (沟壑), which was higher than expected.
He decided to climb back up, careful with each step. He kept pushing upward until finally he could rest at the top for a while. By the time he got going again, it was nearly 2:45 p.m. This time he saw a trail (小路) with white marks. He remembered his daughter had mentioned it before, which he thought might take him back home more quickly.
He called his daughter, but she didn’t remember the trail, begging him not to try that. Still he wanted to go on the trail. “I’ve got it figured out,” he said. Then suddenly he realized he was talking to the air. His phone had died. He dug into his pants for the GPS device and pushed the “ON” button. Nothing. He had forgotten to charge it. But nothing could discourage him from going on this trail.
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。
Initially the trail seemed to be heading downward in the correct direction home
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following morning, Bill had woken before dawn, continued down his trail and still imagined his wife’s anxiety.

The Kyiv City Ballet danced to a full theater in Paris for the company’s last show of its French tour. The tour has left the dancers without a place to go after the war started in Ukraine. In other times, performing at the Théatre du Chatelet would be a dream come true for the dancers. But with the ongoing war in their country, the dancers feel only a deep sadness.
“We are both physically and emotionally exhausted.” Ekaterina Kozlova said. She is the company’s assistant director. “Everyone in the ballet is worried about their families, loved ones, friends, colleagues at home. It’s been very difficult.”
The Théatre du Chatelet, in the center of Paris, offered them the stage on Tuesday for the group’s final show of a French tour. The dance director of the Paris Opera and some members of her company joined the Ukrainians for a class before performing several ballet classics together. They danced parts of Russian composer Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and The Nutcrackery.
For many of the dancers, the chance to train and dance was a way to think about “something other than the conflict in Ukraine,” Kozlova said. One of the dancers will be going to the Ukrainian border in the coming days to pick up her young daughter who was taken out of the country. Only some members of the company were traveling around France. Many of the ballet’s best dancers stayed behind, waiting to join their friends after they reached Paris.
“Most of our artists are detained in Paris.” Director Ivan Kozlova told the Paris crowd. The city of Paris and the ballet community have helped find temporary housing for the Ukrainian dancers who say they hope to continue dancing in France and elsewhere. The Chatelet theater offered the whole group a residency. But for now, Tuesday’s last-minute performance was their last. All sales from their performances will go to nongovernmental organizations collecting and sending humanitarian aid to Ukraine and neighboring countries.
4. What would the dancers feel about performing at the Théatre du Chatelet before the war
A. Pleased. B. Indifferent.
C. Sorrowful. D. Sympathetic.
5. What do we know about the Ukrainian dancers
A. They would leave Paris soon.
B. They would prevent the conflict.
C. Many best dancers stayed in Paris.
D. Some would go to the Ukrainian border.
6. What does the underlined word “detained” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Arrested. B. Stuck. C. Promoted. D. Educated.
7. Which of the following words can best describe the dancers
A. Enthusiastic and kind. B. Generous and professional.
C. Cooperative and ambitious. D. Courageous and calm.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。乌克兰基辅芭蕾舞团在法国巴黎进行巡回演出时，乌克兰突然爆发冲突，这让巡演舞者无处可去。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“In other times, performing at the Théatre du Chatelet would be a dream come true for the dancers.(在其他时候，去到该剧院表演就像是梦想成真了)”可推断，在战前在城堡剧院表演舞者们会感到很高兴。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Many of the ballet’s best dancers stayed behind, waiting to join their friends after they reached Paris.(许多芭蕾舞团最好的舞者留在巴黎，等着加入朋友的行列)”可知，许多最好的舞者都留在了巴黎。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段第二句“The tour has left the dancers without a place to go after the war started in Ukraine.(在乌克兰的战争开始后，这次巡演让舞者们无处可去)”可知，乌克兰突然爆发冲突，巡演让舞者无处可去。由此推知，划线句句意：我们的大多数艺术家都被困在巴黎，B项“stuck(被困在)”与“detained(被耽搁，被阻留)”意义一致。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“All sales from their performances will go to nongovernmental organizations collecting and sending humanitarian aid to Ukraine and neighboring countries.(他们演出的所有销售额将由非政府组织向乌克兰和邻国提供人道主义援助)”可知，这些舞蹈演员十分慷慨；另外从第一段“The Kyiv City Ballet danced to a full theater in Paris for the company’s last show of its French tour. The tour has left the dancers without a place to go after the war started in Ukraine.(基辅市芭蕾舞团在巴黎的一个全剧院里跳舞，进行该公司在法国巡演的最后一场演出。在乌克兰的战争开始后，这次巡演让舞者们无处可去)”可知，尽管战争这让巡演让舞者无处可去，但他们仍然完成了最后一场演出，以及第三段最后一句的“They danced parts of Russian composer Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and The Nutcrackery.(他们跳了俄罗斯作曲家彼得·伊利奇·柴可夫斯基的《天鹅湖和胡桃夹子》的部分曲子)”提到的表演内容可知，他们表现得很职业。故选B。

After a day’s labor, Andreas Fichtner and his colleagues have spliced (绞接) together three segments of fibers, creating a 12.5-kilometer-long fiber-optic (光学的) cable. It will stay buried in the snow to spy on the activity of Grfmsvotn, a dangerous, glacier-covered volcano.
Fichtner, a geophysicist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich, is one of the researchers using fiber optics to take the pulse of our planet. Much of their work is done in remote places, from the tops of volcanoes to the bottoms of seas, where traditional monitoring is too costly or difficult.
The technique used by Fichtner’s team is called distributed acoustic sensing, or DAS. “It’s almost like radar in the fiber,” says the physicist Giuseppe Marra of the United Kingdom’s National Physical Laboratory, in Teddington. While radar uses reflected radio waves to locate objects, DAS uses reflected light to detect events as varied as earthquake activity and moving traffic, and to determine where they occurred. Inside the cables are optical fibers. DAS involves shooting quick pulses of laser light down the fiber and detecting bits of light that scatter back to the laser source due to disturbances in the environment. When the earth’s surface vibrates and shifts, it pulls the cables, so a detector can identify these small changes.
The New York Times points out that although wireless and satellite technology are booming, good old-fashioned cables are still the most efficient way to send information across oceans. Repurposing cables could give scientists the ability to monitor high-risk zones that were previously hard to reach. They could help detect earthquakes and tsunamis a few seconds earlier than traditional warning systems.
In addition, fiber-optic cables could also help solve some of the biggest challenges for humans. In the recent years, scientists have started to use them to measure ocean waves and access fault (断层) information. It is believed that fiber-optic cables will serve to benefit us greatly in the future.
12. What is the purpose of the work of Fichtner’s team
A. To track volcanic activities. B. To strike oil under the sea.
C. To lengthen fiber-optic cables. D. To keep fibers covered in the snow.
13. What can we learn about the technique of DAS
A. It determines when and where disasters occurs.
B. It uses radio waves to locate moving objects.
C. It improves the efficiency of transmitting light.
D. It detects tiny variation of the earth’s surface.
14. What does the underlined expression “Repurposing cables” probably mean
A. Recycling cables in new fields. B. Adapting cables for a new function.
C. Installing cables beneath volcanoes. D. Promoting cables into massive production.
15 What is the best title for the text
A. DAS Is Feeling the Heartbeat of Volcanoes
B. Satellite Technology Is Booming in Our Times
C. Underground Cables Are Taking the Planet’s Pulse
D. Fiber-optic Cables Are Giving Us Insights into Earthquakes
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲的是地下电缆正在测量地球的脉搏以及光纤电缆在将来会给我们带来很大的好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“After a day’s labor, Andreas Fichtner and his colleagues have spliced (绞接) together three segments of fibers, creating a 12.5-kilometer-long fiber-optic (光学的)cable. It will stay buried in the snow to spy on the activity of Grfmsvotn, a dangerous, glacier-covered volcano.”（经过一天的劳动，Andreas Fichtner和他的同事们将三段纤维拼接在一起，形成了一根12.5公里长的光纤电缆。它将被埋在雪中，监视Grfmsvotn火山的活动，这是一座危险的冰川覆盖的火山。）可知，Fichtner团队工作的目的是追踪火山活动。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“DAS involves shooting quick pulses of laser light down the fiber and detecting bits of light that scatter back to the laser source due to disturbances in the environment. When the earth’s surface vibrates and shifts, it pulls the cables, so a detector can identify these small changes.”（DAS包括沿光纤发射快速激光脉冲，并检测由于环境干扰而散射回激光源的光位。当地球表面振动和移动时，它会拉动电缆，所以探测器可以识别这些微小的变化。）可知，我们可以从DAS技术中了解到它能探测到地球表面的微小变化。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中“The New York Times points out that although wireless and satellite technology are booming, good old-fashioned cables are still the most efficient way to send information across oceans.”（《纽约时报》指出，尽管无线和卫星技术正在蓬勃发展，但老式的电缆仍然是跨越海洋发送信息的最有效方式。）提出老式的电缆仍然是跨越海洋发送信息的最有效方式，以及划线单词句中的“…could give scientists the ability to monitor high-risk zones that were previously hard to reach.”（可以使科学家能够监测以前难以到达的高风险地区。）可猜测，划线单词Repurposing cables为“重新调整电缆用途”，结合选项B项Adapting cables for a new function“为新功能改造电缆”意思一致。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“Fichtner, a geophysicist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich, is one of the researchers using fiber optics to take the pulse of our planet. Much of their work is done in remote places, from the tops of volcanoes to the bottoms of seas, where traditional monitoring is too costly or difficult.”（Fichtner是苏黎世瑞士联邦理工学院的地球物理学家，他是使用光纤测量地球脉动的研究人员之一。他们的大部分工作是在偏远的地方完成的，从火山顶部到海底，传统的监测太昂贵或太困难。）和最后一段“In addition, fiber-optic cables could also help solve some of the biggest challenges for humans. In the recent years, scientists have started to use them to measure ocean waves and access fault information. It is believed that fiber-optic cables will serve to benefit us greatly in the future.”（此外，光纤电缆还可以帮助解决人类面临的一些最大挑战。近年来，科学家们已经开始使用它们来测量海浪和获取故障信息。人们相信光纤电缆在将来会给我们带来很大的好处。）可知，文章主要讲的是地下电缆正在测量地球的脉搏以及光纤电缆在将来会给我们带来很大的好处。故文章最好的标题是“地下电缆正在测量地球的脉搏”。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国春节的相关习俗。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国的春节，在中国被称为“春节”，是中国人最重要的节日。分析句子可知，句中有系动词“is”且句中无连词，故空格处应用非谓语动词，“Chinese Spring Festival”与“know”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用“know”的过去分词“known”，“be known as…”意为“被称为……”。故填known。
【37题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：中国的春节，在中国被称为“春节”，是中国人最重要的节日。根据句意和句中定冠词“the”可知，句中应用形容的最高级，表示“最重要的”，“important”的最高级为“the most important”。故填most。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在春节的第一天，中国人通常会礼貌地鞠躬，意思是“互致新年问候”。根据句意句子结构可知，句子为非限制性定语从句，先行词为“中国人通常会礼貌地鞠躬”这件事，在从句中作主语，故应用关系代词“which”引导从句。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：拜年是中国新年期间最重要的活动之一，是一种表示尊重和友谊的传统习俗。分析句子可知，句中有系动词“is”且句中无连词，故空格处应用非谓语动词，“Bainian”与“be”之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用“be”的现在分词“being”。故填being。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：拜年是中国新年期间最重要的活动之一，是一种表示尊重和友谊的传统习俗。分析句子可知，句中有系动词“is”且句中无连词，故空格处应用非谓语动词，“custom”意为“习俗”，为抽象名词，后面可用“show”的动词不定式“to show”作后置定语，“custom”与“show”为逻辑上的主谓关系，或用其现在分词“showing”作后置定语。故填to show/showing。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：在中国农历新年的第一天，年轻人首先应该向长者鞠躬或磕头，这是中国人表示尊重的一种方式，当然是非常轻柔地把头撞在地板上。分析句子可知，空格处应用副词，修饰“knocking one’s head on the floor”，在句中作状语，“gentle”的副词形式为“gently”，意为“温柔地”。故填gently。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：当长者收到年轻人的问候时，他们会给年轻人“红包”或“压岁钱”。根据句意可知，句中强调“收到问候”的动作已经完成，故“When”引导的从句应用现在完成时，“the elder”代指“长者”这一类人，与“have”连用，“receive”的过去分词为“received”。故填have received。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：这就是为什么孩子们非常喜欢中国新年的原因之一，因为他们可以得到“压岁钱”！根据句意可知，句中涉及固定短语“one of+可数名词复数”，意为“……之一”，“reason”的复数形式为“reasons”。故填reasons。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：在家里互致新年祝福后，全家人将拜访他们的亲戚、邻居和朋友。根据句意可知，“全家人将拜访他们的亲戚、邻居和朋友”是“在家里互致新年祝福”之后发生的事，故空格处应用介词“after”，意为“在……之后”，句首单词首字母大写。故填After。
【45题详解】

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
Bill McDonnell was going crazy. Deer season had begun, but it was colder than usual. Up until his late 80s, Bill didn’t mind hunting in sub-zero temperature, but he had become slow in the past few years. The snow-covered mountains of the Shenandoah Valley were no place for a 92-year-old. He knew it, but still wanted to get outside.
It was about 7:30 a.m., still far below zero when the sun shone through trees. Bill had strict instructions from his wife Joanna to be out of woods by 2 p.m. and home by 3 p.m. — plenty of time before sunset, in case he missed the deadline, which he often did.
Not long into the hike, he came upon a path he didn’t remember. Maybe this was a secret route to the king of all deer. He took it.
It seemed that this path up the mountain had meandered (蜿蜒) quite a bit. After climbing to the top of a ridge (山脊), he figured that he could continue down into another valley for more hunt. But the farther he snaked down, the thinner and deeper it became. Before long, he was looking straight up from down the ravine (沟壑), which was higher than expected.
He decided to climb back up, careful with each step. He kept pushing upward until finally he could rest at the top for a while. By the time he got going again, it was nearly 2:45 p.m. This time he saw a trail (小路) with white marks. He remembered his daughter had mentioned it before, which he thought might take him back home more quickly.
He called his daughter, but she didn’t remember the trail, begging him not to try that. Still he wanted to go on the trail. “I’ve got it figured out,” he said. Then suddenly he realized he was talking to the air. His phone had died. He dug into his pants for the GPS device and pushed the “ON” button. Nothing. He had forgotten to charge it. But nothing could discourage him from going on this trail.
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。
Initially the trail seemed to be heading downward in the correct direction home.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following morning, Bill had woken before dawn, continued down his trail and still imagined his wife’s anxiety.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Initially the trail seemed to be heading downward in the correct direction home. However, soon, it began to turn away. So he decided to take another shortcut, stopping occasionally to adjust course. “No, I am not lost,” he told himself, determined that he wasn’t far off his destination. Eventually, the sun slipped down and the forest turned black. Without a flashlight, his trembling legs felt as if to have covered many miles. He tried to sleep, yet unable to quiet himself from imagining Joanna’s possible anxiety for safety. He got up to power through the darkness, only to realize he would end up in greater danger.
The following morning, Bill had woken before dawn, continued down his trail and still imagined his wife’s anxiety. The light was still bad, with each step taking thoughts to avoid injuries. Within 15 minutes, hope was found from the line of trees expected to reach. Bill, extremely excited about this breakthrough, was heading in that direction when he encountered a group of trackers who’d come to his rescue for the whole night. Secured and finally sent home, he was discouraged from another attempt to hike alone and he was persuaded to keep his promise. Yet still, deep in his wildest dream, there still lived a young boy, forever insisting on his crazy idea of walking in these woods alone.
