A
Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险 )but this time,it was different.He decided to take his daughter along with him.She was only ten years old.This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.
Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age.Similarly,his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions.Since then,he had never looked back.Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore.He had hated them.They were either too big or too small.Then,there was the instructor.He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father.He had made an exception.Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide.Children of his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the first expedition,Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better.There was never a dull moment.In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back,Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean.Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search.Sometimes,he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him.At least,he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them.Fortunately for him,a man offered to take him around the different spots for free.Larry did not even know what the time was,how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken.The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.
Larry looked at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already,she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.
21.In what way was this expedition different for Larry
A.His daughter had grown up.
B.He had become a famous diver.
C.His father would dive with him.
D.His daughter would dive with him.
22.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A.Larry had some privileges.
B.Larry liked the rented diving suits.
C.Divers had to buy diving equipment.
D.Ten year old children were permitted to dive.
23.Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes
A.To protect himself from danger.
B.To dive into the deep water.
C.To admire the underwater view.
D.To take photos more conveniently.
B
One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest,the next,the air was charged with tension.The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed.I urged the elephant deeper into the forest.We sounded like a forest fire—crackling,snapping,trail blazing.But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry.The elephant stopped and we heard it again—the tell tale call of a spotted deer.
I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest.Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches,beneath which the patchwork(交错)of green plants and shadows within shadows would make tiger stripes(条纹)look more attractive.Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach,the forest was silent.
Gradually,the tension slipped from our bodies.The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth.I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck;there was a soft part,free of wrinkles and hairs,behind her ear.
This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett,although I saw no tigers in the end.Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains,Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers,but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts(出没处),a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity.Still,I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear.If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger,I could have gone to a zoo.After all,spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty;tracking them can make you aware of something more.
24.Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm
A.The elephant stopped.
B.A spotted deer called.
C.The elephant seized a branch.
D.The forest was silent for a while.
25.The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by________.
A.describing various sounds
B.comparing different animals
C.listing different activities
D.introducing various plants
26.What does the underlined part “to sense the aura” most probably mean
A.To see the diversity.
B.To enjoy the scenery.
C.To feel the atmosphere.
D.To experience the freedom.
27.How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett
A.Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.
B.It is very time consuming to travel in Corbett.
C.It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.
D.The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.
C
Beijing resident Hou Lixin started eating meal replacement products in February when she wanted to lose weight. She bought various meal replacement products online and ate them for more than a month.
“Most of them don’t taste good, but at least they have low calories and are convenient to buy, store and cook,” she said, adding the product she consumed gave a strong sense of fullness.
Hou is by no means alone. Meal replacement products, or substitutes for regular meals that can fill you up with low-calorie intakes, appear as a potential big market in China, driven by Chinese consumer’ demand for products that can help in weight control and offer convenience, experts said.
The most common meal replacement products include powders, liquids, shakes, porridges and energy bars containing fiber, protein, vitamin, minerals and other nutritious content.
The meal replacement market is at the early stage of competition and there is big room for future development, like in the United States and Japan. Euromonitor International, a market research company, said sales revenue of meal replacement products in China hit 57.17 billion yuan in 2017 and is expected to reach 120 billion yuan by 2022. More fast-moving consumer goods giants are partaking in the market action. PepsiCo’s oat brand Quaker released a new shake product in June. A major Chinese snack brand Bestore released 27 meal replacement products in August.
Jia Jianbin, secretary general at Chinese Cereals and Oils Association, told CCTV reporter that despite its possible effectiveness that many people believe, this way of weight loss may bring greater harm as it breaks the balance of nutrition and food. As a result, it can only be a temporary move, not a long-term use.
“Cereal meal replacement powder, for example, is mainly composed of carbohydrates (碳水化合物), which have enough calories, but the vitamins and minerals are not enough. Instead, it is better to soak oatmeal (燕麦片) in milk, which may be more nutritious and more economical,” said Gu Zhongyi, a dietitian of the Beijing Dietetic Association. “Meal replacements can be an alternative for busy workers, but they are no substitute for a balanced diet, and try not to eat more than one meal a day.”
28. The author quotes the example of Hou Lixin to _________.
A. show an efficient way to lose weight
B. promote the meal replacement products
C. introduce the topic of meal replacement products
D. arouse readers’ interest in the meal replacement products
29. Why are meal replacement products popular among many Chinese consumers
A. Because they are highly recommended by health experts.
B. Because they are helpful to control weight and bring convenience.
C. Because they have a large market share in the food market.
D. Because they provide various forms and flavors for the consumers.
30. What does the underlined word “partaking” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Participating. B. Advertising.
C. Experimenting. D. Cooperating.
31. What attitude do Jia Jianbin and Gu Zhongyi have towards the meal replacement products
A. Cautious. B. Favorable.
C. Disapproving. D. Confused.
D
Gabriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil. Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings. When she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about it in their own way without checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it were still up for discussion.
What Gabriela was experiencing was a cultural shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how power is distributed in different cultures. In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged. Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she took the initiative (主动权) to have an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.
Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela’s team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn’t trust them to do their job well.
With a better understanding of the reasons behind each other’s behavior, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style. Finally she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.
32. What problem did Gabriela face with her Swedish team at the beginning
A. Her Swedish staff didn’t understand her instructions.
B. Her authority was challenged by her Swedish staff.
C. They were always refusing to follow her directions.
D. They looked down upon her because she was a female.
33. What is encouraged in the working culture in Sweden
A. Professional spirit and risk-taking behavior.
B. Independent thinking and friendly atmosphere.
C. Active participation and creative thinking.
D. Competitive spirit and mild character.
34. Which of the following can best describe Gabriela
A. Kind but arbitrary. B. Strict but trustworthy.
C. Flexible and communicative. D. Stubborn and aggressive.
35. What a lesson can we learn from Gabriela’s story
A. Birds of a feather flock together. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C. Two heads are better than one. D. When in Rome, do as Romans do.

Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue,but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However,forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness,anger and stress and more hopefulness,according to a recent research.
36 Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. 37 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. 38 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者).Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.
39 If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself. 40 But it can rob you of your self confidence if you don't do it.
A.Why should you forgive
B.How should you start to forgive
C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D.Try to see things from your offender's angle.
E.For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F.To make your anger die away,try a simple stress management technique.
G.If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.

One weekend in July,Jane and her husband,Tom,had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately,on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake,Jane was so angry that she said to Tom,“I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp,” and walked away.
With no path to follow,Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place,she turned around,hoping to see the lake. To her surprise,she saw nothing but the forest and,far beyond,a snow-capped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!”she cried. “Help!”No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving,but the farther she walked,the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall,Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark,Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day,hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy,she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now,Jane began to walk along the stream and hoped it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream,Jane heard a helicopter. “Is that for me ” Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later,another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse,thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them down if they came back again.
But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. ____________________________________
It was daybreak when Jane woke up. _________________________________________Unit 4 【单元测试 · 提升卷】

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位名叫Larry的海底探险家准备带他的女儿去海底探险,并由此回忆起了他自己的第一次探险以及后来探险的经历。
21.In what way was this expedition different for Larry
A.His daughter had grown up.
B.He had become a famous diver.
C.His father would dive with him.
D.His daughter would dive with him.
【答案】D 细节理解题。根据第一段中第一句“...it was different.”以及第二句“He decided to take his daughter along with him.”可知,这一次的不同之处在于他的女儿将与他一起潜水,故选D项。根据第一段第三句“She was only ten years old.”可知A项错误。B、C两项均不符合题意。
22.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A.Larry had some privileges.
B.Larry liked the rented diving suits.
C.Divers had to buy diving equipment.
D.Ten year old children were permitted to dive.
【答案】A 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide.Children of his age were not even allowed to dive.”可知,每次潜水前都有导师指导并训练他,在他那个年龄的孩子甚至不被允许去潜水,由此可推断,他有一些特权,故选A项,同时可推知D项错误。根据该段第四、五句“...by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore.He had hated them.”可知B项错误。C项在本段中找不到相关信息。
23.Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes
A.To protect himself from danger.
B.To dive into the deep water.
C.To admire the underwater view.
D.To take photos more conveniently.
【答案】A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search.Sometimes,he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him.”可知,让他待在笼子里应该是为了保护他,故选A项。

I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest.Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches,beneath which the patchwork(交错)of green plants and shadows within shadows would make tiger stripes(条纹)look more attractive.Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach,the forest was silent.
Gradually,the tension slipped from our bodies.The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth.I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck;there was a soft part,free of wrinkles and hairs,behind her ear.
This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett,although I saw no tigers in the end.Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains,Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers,but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts(出没处),a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity.Still,I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear.If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger,I could have gone to a zoo.After all,spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty;tracking them can make you aware of something more.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。这是“我”第四次到访Corbett森林。虽然“我”最终没有找到孟加拉虎,却享受到了寻找过程中的乐趣。作者在文中对于森林细致入微的描述令人向往,更在文末启示我们追寻喜爱的事物的过程能让我们感受到更多美的事物的存在。
24.Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm
A.The elephant stopped.
B.A spotted deer called.
C.The elephant seized a branch.
D.The forest was silent for a while.
【答案】B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句可知,一声警报传来,大象停了下来,我们又听到了一次,是一只梅花鹿的声音,故B项与文章意思一致。A项“大象停了下来”是大象听到警报声的表现;结合第三段可知,C项是森林中紧张氛围消退、大象平静下来的表现;D项“森林一度处于寂静”是警报出现前的状况。
25.The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by________.
A.describing various sounds
B.comparing different animals
C.listing different activities
D.introducing various plants
【答案】A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,作者通过描写声音来引出对这次行程的描述,如第一段中出现的alarm calls,a sharp warning cry等。
26.What does the underlined part “to sense the aura” most probably mean
A.To see the diversity.
B.To enjoy the scenery.
C.To feel the atmosphere.
D.To experience the freedom.
【答案】C 词义猜测题。这是“我”第四次来到这片森林,虽然没有找到老虎,但是听到了不同的声音,看到了各种风景,体验到了出行的自由以及与大象的亲近等。总的来看,感受到了大森林中的氛围(aura/atmosphere),故C项符合文意,其余三项都可看作是森林氛围中的一部分。
27.How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett
A.Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.
B.It is very time consuming to travel in Corbett.
C.It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.
D.The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.
【答案】D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,作者如果纯粹想看孟加拉虎,本可以去动物园看,但却选择多次到Corbett森林来,是因为在作者看来,寻虎的过程才是最吸引人的。结合对本段的理解以及最后一句可知D项正确。
C
Beijing resident Hou Lixin started eating meal replacement products in February when she wanted to lose weight. She bought various meal replacement products online and ate them for more than a month.
“Most of them don’t taste good, but at least they have low calories and are convenient to buy, store and cook,” she said, adding the product she consumed gave a strong sense of fullness.
Hou is by no means alone. Meal replacement products, or substitutes for regular meals that can fill you up with low-calorie intakes, appear as a potential big market in China, driven by Chinese consumer’ demand for products that can help in weight control and offer convenience, experts said.
The most common meal replacement products include powders, liquids, shakes, porridges and energy bars containing fiber, protein, vitamin, minerals and other nutritious content.
The meal replacement market is at the early stage of competition and there is big room for future development, like in the United States and Japan. Euromonitor International, a market research company, said sales revenue of meal replacement products in China hit 57.17 billion yuan in 2017 and is expected to reach 120 billion yuan by 2022. More fast-moving consumer goods giants are partaking in the market action. PepsiCo’s oat brand Quaker released a new shake product in June. A major Chinese snack brand Bestore released 27 meal replacement products in August.
Jia Jianbin, secretary general at Chinese Cereals and Oils Association, told CCTV reporter that despite its possible effectiveness that many people believe, this way of weight loss may bring greater harm as it breaks the balance of nutrition and food. As a result, it can only be a temporary move, not a long-term use.
“Cereal meal replacement powder, for example, is mainly composed of carbohydrates (碳水化合物), which have enough calories, but the vitamins and minerals are not enough. Instead, it is better to soak oatmeal (燕麦片) in milk, which may be more nutritious and more economical,” said Gu Zhongyi, a dietitian of the Beijing Dietetic Association. “Meal replacements can be an alternative for busy workers, but they are no substitute for a balanced diet, and try not to eat more than one meal a day.”
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国代餐产品市场的火爆、代餐产品的优缺点以及专家们对此所持的态度。
28. The author quotes the example of Hou Lixin to _________.
A. show an efficient way to lose weight
B. promote the meal replacement products
C. introduce the topic of meal replacement products
D. arouse readers’ interest in the meal replacement products
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段...Hou is by no means alone. Meal replacement products, or substitutes for regular meals that can fill you up with low-calorie intakes, appear as a potential big market in China, driven by Chinese consumer’ demand for products that can help in weight control and offer convenience, experts said可知,作者以侯立新为例是为了引入代餐产品这个话题,为下文作铺垫。故选C。
29. Why are meal replacement products popular among many Chinese consumers
A. Because they are highly recommended by health experts.
B. Because they are helpful to control weight and bring convenience.
C. Because they have a large market share in the food market.
D. Because they provide various forms and flavors for the consumers.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段...Meal replacement products, or substitutes for regular meals that can fill you up with low-calorie intakes, appear as a potential big market in China, driven by Chinese consumer’ demand for products that can help in weight control and offer convenience, experts said.可知,餐产品在许多中国消费者中非常流行,是因为它们有助于控制体重和带来方便。故选B。
30. What does the underlined word “partaking” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Participating. B. Advertising.
C. Experimenting. D. Cooperating.
【答案】A
【解析】词意猜测题。根据第五段...PepsiCo’s oat brand Quaker released a new shake product in June. A major Chinese snack brand Bestore released 27 meal replacement products in August.可可,更多的产品巨头也参与了市场行动。此处fast-moving consumer goods giants指的是桂格、百思买等快消品巨头公司。由此可知,划线词partaking意为“加入,参加”。故选A。
31. What attitude do Jia Jianbin and Gu Zhongyi have towards the meal replacement products
A. Cautious. B. Favorable.
C. Disapproving. D. Confused.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段...Jia Jianbin, secretary general at Chinese Cereals and Oils Association, told CCTV reporter that despite its possible effectiveness that many people believe, this way of weight loss may bring greater harm as it breaks the balance of nutrition and food.以及最后一段...Meal replacements can be an alternative for busy workers, but they are no substitute for a balanced diet, and try not to eat more than one meal a day.可可,代餐有许多缺点,弊大于利,从而可推断出,他们对代餐持不赞成的态度。故选C。
D
Gabriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil. Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings. When she gave them instructions on how to carry out a task, they would often go about it in their own way without checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it were still up for discussion.
What Gabriela was experiencing was a cultural shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how power is distributed in different cultures. In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged. Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she took the initiative (主动权) to have an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.
Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela’s team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn’t trust them to do their job well.
With a better understanding of the reasons behind each other’s behavior, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style. Finally she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue,but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However,forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness,anger and stress and more hopefulness,according to a recent research.
36 Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. 37 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. 38 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者).Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain.Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.
39 If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself. 40 But it can rob you of your self confidence if you don't do it.
A.Why should you forgive
B.How should you start to forgive
C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D.Try to see things from your offender's angle.
E.For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F.To make your anger die away,try a simple stress management technique.
G.If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇说明文。原谅冒犯你的人对你的身心健康大有裨益,但是该如何去原谅他们呢?本文给我们提出了一些建议。
【答案】36.B 本句起到承上启下的作用,根据“Try the following steps...”可知答案,B项以问句的形式引出下文。
37.F F项中的“make your anger die away”与“calm yourself” 意思一致。
38.G 本段指出,不要等待他人道歉。因为许多时候伤害你的人就没打算道歉,他们也许故意想要伤害你或者和你看问题的方式不同,如果等待他人道歉,就会等相当长的时间。G项中的“wait for people to apologize”与本段标题一致。
39.D 根据“If you understand your offender”以及“from your offender's point of view”可以看出,本段标题为D项,即“试着从冒犯者的角度看问题”。
40.E 本段标题为“不要忘记原谅你自己”,与E项中的“forgiving themselves”一致,并且E项与后面的句子之间正好用but连接,有转折的语气。

第二节 (满分25分)
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。续写的词数应为150左右。
One weekend in July,Jane and her husband,Tom,had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest. Unfortunately,on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel. By the time they reached the lake,Jane was so angry that she said to Tom,“I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp,” and walked away.
With no path to follow,Jane just walked on for quite a long time. After she had climbed to a high place,she turned around,hoping to see the lake. To her surprise,she saw nothing but the forest and,far beyond,a snow-capped mountain top. She suddenly realized that she was lost.
“Tom!”she cried. “Help!”No reply. If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom. Jane kept moving,but the farther she walked,the more confused she became. As night was beginning to fall,Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night. Lying awake in the dark,Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family. She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day,hungry and thirsty. She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance. Quickly she followed the sound to a stream. To her great joy,she also saw some berry bushes. She drank and ate a few berries. Never in her life had she tasted anything better. Feeling stronger now,Jane began to walk along the stream and hoped it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream,Jane heard a helicopter. “Is that for me ” Unfortunately, the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above. A few minutes later,another helicopter flew overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse,thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them down if they came back again.
But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. ____________________________________
It was daybreak when Jane woke up. _________________________________________
But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again. The temperature got lower at night than in the daytime,so Jane put on her yellow blouse. Although she felt exhausted both physically and emotionally,she continued walking forward because she really wanted to meet Tom as soon as possible. She walked slowly and carefully in darkness. Following the stream for about two hours,Jane felt tired,so she found a flat ground to spend the long and hard night.
It was daybreak when Jane woke up. She felt hungry. After a short adjustment,she began the hard trip. She was walking along the stream when she heard a helicopter flying overhead. Jane took off her yellow blouse and flagged it wildly in the air. This time,the helicopter found her and took her to her husband,who gave her the warmest hug she had ever received.
