二、短文续写
13. 第二节阅读下面材料,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。
Julia always enjoyed running through The Dark Walk towards the light at the end of it. It was a dark, damp tunnel (隧道) made of smooth branches. This year she had the extra joy of showing it to her small brother, Stephen, and of terrifying him as well as herself.
One day they found a hole on one side of the walk. Inside there was water, in which they perceived a panting trout (喘息的鳟鱼). They were both so excited that they were no longer afraid of the darkness as they bent down and peered at the fish panting in his tiny prison, his silver stomach going up and down like an engine; otherwise he was motionless. Julia wondered what he ate and thought of his hunger. She found him a worm. He ignored the food, and just went on panting. Bending over him, she thought how he had been in there. All the winter, in the dark tunnel, all day, all night, floating around alone.
Nobody knew how the fish got there. Her mother suggested that a bird had carried the egg. Her father thought that in the winter a small stream might have carried it down there as a baby, and it had been safe until summer came and the water began to dry up.
Before they went to bed, Stephen asked his mummy the whole story of the trout, not really interested in the actual trout, but in the story which his mum began to make up for him, and Julia, in her bed, presented her back to them and read her book. But she kept one ea r cocked." And so, in the end, this naughty fish got bigger and bigger, and the water got smaller and smaller…"Passionately, she turned around and cried," mummy, don't make it a horrible old mo ral story." Her mo m even brought in a fairy (仙子) , who had made it rain and filled the hole, so that the trout could float away down to the river below. Staring at the moon she knew there was no such thing as a fairy and that the trout, down in the tunnel, was panting for his life.
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。
She sat up in the silent night and Stephan was sound asleep.
Julia poured the trout out of the po t into the river.
14. 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。
"Where's the rest of my paper " thundered an angry Papa Bear storming into the living room. It didn't take him long to find Brother Bear and the sports section.
"I just borrowed it." said Brother. Papa snatched it up and plumped down in his easy chair. Brother wandered into the kitchen looking for sympathy from Mama Bear. "Gee," he said, "what's eating him " "Your father looks forward to his evening paper," Mama said, "and he has a perfect right to be annoyed when half of it is missing — and furthermore, thank you not to refer to your father as him!"
She stomped out of the kitchen.
"Why not He's a him, isn't he Gosh," said Brother, "what's eating her "
What was "eating" Mama was Sister Bear. Sister had been on the phone with Lizy Bruin for almost an hour.
"But Mama!" she protested when she was told to say good-bye.
"Don't But Mama' me!" said Mama Bear. "This is not your private phone. You've had all day to talk to Lizy at school and you'll have all day to talk to her tomorrow. So hang up that phone now!"
Sister did as she was told.
"Phew!" breathed Brother as he fell into the seat beside Cousin Fred on the school bus.
"Tough morning " asked Fred.
"You better believe it!" said Sister, taking the seat Lizzy had saved for her.
The four compared notes on the way to school. The children agreed that while there was no doubt that their parents loved them, they were a little difficult to get along with sometimes. They nagged (唠叨); they said no a lot; and they never wanted kids to have any fun.
"Hey," said Brother as they got off the bus, "what are we going to do for the Parents Night Talent Show " "Don't know," said Lizzy. "Let's think about it"
When the four searched their brains, Brother snapped his fingers and said, "I've got it! Remember what we were talking about just now " "Sure," said Fred. "We were saying how grownups can be a big pain."
Paragraph one:
"Well," said Brother, "let's put on a play about that, and call it..."
Paragraph two:
Despite the difficulties in the preparation, especially costumes, their big day came finally.

John was crazy about playing basketball. Every day after school, he would spend much time practicing basketball skills. Sometimes, he didn't go back until sunset, which made his mother extremely angry. One day, as he was given a chance to watch a basketball game, he dreamed about being a member of the college basketball team the next year. On the way, he was delighted secretly. He thought no one in the world was luckier than him. Suddenly, a car hit him. What a terrible experience! It seemed like a bad dream.
John woke up in a hospital room. He was frightened to death. He realized that he couldn't move both of his legs. At that time, the doctor came in. When the doctor told him that both his legs were broken and he had to sit in the wheelchair for the time being, he knew his college basketball dream was over. He was really depressed. John followed what the doctors had told him, but it did not work entirely. When he left the hospital, John was sent to a health recovery center. He had never heard of this center before, but it was not far away from his house. Although he felt unwilling to go there, he had no choice but to accept the fact.
A week later, he arrived there unhappily. The first person he met was Sunny Chen, who was so kind and friendly that he warmly welcomed John. Sunny's legs were badly hurt in a skating accident. He told John that he would help him recover soon. Though Sunny couldn't move his legs, he became the coach of a basketball team called the Suns. After a period of recovery training, John felt his legs were all right. So Sunny invited him to join in the game where Sunny guided the team in his wheelchair. John played badly, but for the first time since the accident, he stopped feeling sorry for himself.

16.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I could smell the turkey cooking, even in the attic where I was hiding out. I heard a laugh, too, and a bang from something being dropped. Our house was noisier since my new stepsister and step-mother moved in—Jen and Mom.
I called her Mom, but the word felt uncomfortable, like a pair of shoes that pinched(夹脚). I didn't remember my own mother; she had died in an accident when I was a baby. It had always been just Dad and me. We were a team. Now, so much had changed, and sometimes I wished I had the magic to change it back.
I heard Dad's footsteps upstairs. "Do you want to take Jen skating " he asked.
"I guess." I sighed, thinking about how Dad and I usually spent Thanksgiving Day building a big snowman. But this year, Dad was too busy helping Mom cook the turkey.
"Thanks," Dad said and put his arm around my shoulders. "We'll make that snowman later," he promised.
"Yeah," I agreed, not too sure we'd have time.
Mom handed us some homemade cookies with smiling faces as we grabbed our skates. I had to admit, Mom came up with good ideas sometimes. Even though I liked that, I still couldn't help but feel as if she were changing everything.
"No, thanks. I'm not hungry," I said, although I was, a little.
"Ready " I asked Jen. She nodded, and we headed out the front door.
The snow crunched under our boots as we walked down the street. The silence was awkward. "Did you go skating a lot last year " I asked, blurting out the first thing that came to my mind.
Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, "On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys."
Until then, I'd never even thought about how Jen must be feeling. She not only had a new stepfather and stepbrother; she had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake, and she'd had to move up north with us. She'd had more changes than me.

My writing career began quite accidentally. It was all because of my friend Henry.
Born into a poor family, Henry had no chance to attend school. He couldn't read but he liked my reading for him greatly. One day I played a little trick on Henry. I was reading him a story from my textbook. Suddenly I moved away from the story and made up my own, pretending to turn pages regularly. Henry, of course, had no idea at all. Upon finishing the story, Henry began to clap.
"That was the best story you've read me in a long time," he said, still clapping.
I laughed. "Really "
"It was great. Will you read me more of it tomorrow "
"Fascinating, "I thought, feeling like a man who discovered a buried treasure in his own backyard. That same night, I tried writing my first short story. It was a story about a man who found a magic cup. If he cried into the cup,his tears turned into pearls (珍珠), but he was a happy man and rarely cried. So he managed to find ways to make himself sad. The story ended with the man sitting on a mountain of pearls, unable to feel happy any longer.
The next day, I ran to Henry after school, asking him to hear the story and told him I wrote it last night. Henry was totally absorbed in it, his face shifting as the story developed.
"Some day, you will be a great writer," Henry said. "And your stories will be read all over the world. But can I ask a question Why didn't the man just eat some onions to make himself cry to get pearls " I was shocked because I never expected Henry could be helpful to my writing. I rewrote it and with. Henry s encouragement, I sent it to a magazine. To my surprise, it was published and sold well.

18.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather's house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.
This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa's house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door--one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed (辗转) and turned in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung (附着) to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, "It's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!" They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, "The sea is rising! The sea is rising." The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched dumbstruck (呆若木鸡).
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, "How big the waves are!" He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, "You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near." He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But thewater came surging (汹涌) in.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.

A Gift I Treasure
It was just a week before my seventeenth birthday. Party preparations had started. My family never celebrated birthdays on such a grand scale. However, this was a double celebration. I had a passed A level examination with flying colors and my parents thought this was an occasion to celebrate.
The whole house was full of plete cleaning had started a week before. There was a continuous work in and out as everyone went about doing their share of the work. Mama, who was the chief event organizer, was busy planning the budget and the menu. Papa was in charge of paying for the different purchases. My siblings (兄弟姐妹) were busy sending out the invitations. Even Grandpa, who enjoys watching his favorite Cable TV from the comfort of his armchair, did not want to be left out. He made numerous trips to town to run errands (跑腿) for Mama.
Grandpa and I shared a special bond. Perhaps it was because I was his oldest grandchild. He was always there for me and he would offer me his shoulder to cry on whenever I was depressed. He seemed to be the happiest man to celebrate my birthday and he even secretly whispered to my ear that he was going to give me a great gift on that day.
Two days before my birthday, Grandpa complained of chest pains. We rushed him to the hospital but he refused to be admitted. He was given a lot of medicine instead. When he came home, he remained in his room. Whenever I went into his room, he managed a smile. I could see that he was very tired. The corners of his mouth and eyes had numerous wrinkles while the skin on his skinny limbs had shriveled. I felt a stab of pain in my heart each time I saw him.

三、概要写作
20.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Hosting the Olympics
Today, the Olympic Games are one of the most popular and most watched events on earth. Every four years, many countries bid for the Games. Why do they do this What are the advantages of hosting such an event
A world-class event demands world-class facilities from the host city, and any which do not already exist will have to be built. These will remain for the local population to enjoy after the Games are over. An example of this is the accommodation which will have to be built, not only for the athletes in their Olympic village,but also for visitors. Later this can be transformed into permanent accommodation for tourists and students. The transport system must also be taken into consideration. Hosting the Olympics means having an effective wide-reaching system, which is essential to carry people safely and efficiently to their destinations. Such a transport system is a great advantage for any city and will be in service for the years to come.
Funding any great event is a costly business, but many companies fiercely compete to become sponsors of such global events as it is an ideal platform for advertising. This means that advertising profits can easily cover a large proportion of the cost involved. In addition, the broadcasting rights can be a source of finance. For example, the national American TV company NBC paid $3. 5 billion to broadcast the Olympic Games between 2000 and 2008.
Another consideration is employment. High-tech video cameras are already common in most of our big cities today, and increasing the manpower necessary to guarantee the safety of all concerned provides valuable employment opportunities. Indeed, the organization of such an event gives rise to a large number of jobs in a variety of sectors including security, catering and hospitality.
It's universally agreed that the host city gains overall in terms of improvements in facilities and infrastructure. But this is not all. Not only do the improved facilities remain after the Games have gone, but the city also becomes a significant place in its own right.
21.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
When a rather dirty, poorly-dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money What should our attitude to beggars be There can't be no question that the world is full of terrible sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is coming from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.
Certainly, most of the world's great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.
First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evils. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.
It is hard to come to a conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.
22.Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar a child's personality and cause emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not receive day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it results in, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.
Firstly, authropologists (人类学家) point out that the isQulated love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, we saw earlier that among the Ngoni (恩戈尼人) the father and mother of a child did not raise their infant alone - far from it.
Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents, caretakers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial.
Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have reported that day care had a slightly positive effect on children's development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.
But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear-cut, though experience and available evidence indicate that early is reasonable for infants.

Calling Latin a dead language is a matter of semantics (语义学).There are those who would suggest Latin is not dead, and that it lives on in everyday language used by billions of people worldwide. Others argue that because there're routine updates on Latin published by the Roman Catholic Church, it is still alive and developing.
However, Latin is no longer used, on a daily basis, by the vast majority of people outside of specific religious settings, where tradition influences its use. It is no longer anyone's native language. While its use is still taught, Latin is no longer considered to be a developing language to the degree of most modern languages.
The reasons for Latin dying out are numerous. Perhaps the most significant one has to do with the decline of the Roman Empire. During the Roman period, language was standardized to a greater degree. Because Rome was the most powerful political country in the Western world at the time, most of those who had any ambition to succeed had a desire to learn Latin. As a result, the language spread rapidly. However that rapid expansion would eventually begin to plateau (处于停滞状态)and finally decline.
Latin continued to be used during the medieval period. Throughout Europe, it remained the language of choice. However, with nothing to unite the continent, there was no need for a uniform language. So slowly, over a period of hundreds of years, Latin began to change as different regions developed their own dialects (方言),known as the Romance languages today, among which the most commonly spoken and recognizable are Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French.
Though not directly related to the Romance languages, Latin still has had an effect on many other languages. English, for example, which is not one of the Romance languages but a Germanic one, can trace nearly two-thirds of its words back to Latin roots.

With travel and the environment in the news so much lately, you've probably heard the word ecotourism. As travelers become more aware of their effect on the planet and want to do their part to make a difference, ecotourism has really taken off.
What is ecotourism The definition isn't as hard to determine as you might think. According to the International Ecotourism Society, it is defined as "responsible travel to natural areas that protects the environment and sustains the well-being of the local people." To be simple, it's travel that has a positive effect on a destination's ecology and economy.
Ecotourism lets travelers participate in activities that benefit the environment. For example, travelers can act as citizen scientists in places around the world, including national parks and dive sites, to help do research and collect data. Meanwhile, ecotourism helps local communities to do well and become successful and strong. That can happen in a number of ways, involving some type of financial aspect, from providing jobs to supporting local businesses.
Being a responsible traveler, you'll have a much more satisfying and rewarding experience. Instead of simply visiting tourist attractions and eating at chain restaurants, you can get completely involved in a local culture and really get to know the people who live there. It enriches your own life and opens your mind to new ideas.
Ecotourism is an amazing way to discover the world. Nature is full of wonders everywhere. Being able to get out in a natural area that is protected and largely undeveloped offers a chance to connect with plants and animals you may never see anywhere else. Just be sure to leave it as you found it for future explorers to discover. Get your sneakers ready, pack your bags and head for nature. A big and beautiful world is waiting for you out there.
25.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Why is the world's population growing?The answer is not what you might think. The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900, people died at the average age of 30.By 2000 the average age was 65.But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century, declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.
Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world's population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level (i.e.2.1 births per woman) and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think that developing nations would make up the loss (especially since 80% of the world's people now live in such nations), but you'd be wrong. Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.
A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance. What does it imply?First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population decline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain constant, economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble.
Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise. Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive 50%.Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961.Why is this occurring?Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet and above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trends don't bend, Russia's population will be about the size of Yemen's by the year 2050.
In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates, but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. In total, 25% of India's working-age population has no education. In 2030, a sixth of the country's potential work force could be totally uneducated.
One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration. As for the USA, it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010—2030.Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it's likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term.

3.【答案】 As the saying goes "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes as well", conflict is inevitable.
Two months ago, arguing with my parents seemed natural. My arrogance, as well as my rebelliousness, was constantly represented by me, so my loving mother and father had to stop smiling at me and began to crack down on me. I went from being a little afraid to ignoring my parents, and with that came a growing conflict. The moment I stepped out of the house, I felt the urge to say goodbye forever. A gust of autumn wind blew, and I seemed to calm a lot. I was the one who started the conflict. My parents did nothing wrong. The endless arguments kept the conflict going every time it ended. It was I who reignited the conflict.
After that I came to realize conflict is a natural part of life, and that it is an opportunity to create a better understanding.

13.【答案】略
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。阅读文章可知文章主要讲述的是Julia和一条被困的鳟鱼的故事:Julia喜欢在隧道里玩耍,在她和弟弟玩耍的某一天发现隧道的一端有一个洞,洞里有一条喘息的鳟鱼,她好奇鳟鱼是怎样被困住的,也试图给鳟鱼吃东西,关心它的状况。夜晚忙欸弟弟讲故事,弟弟对妈妈为他编造的关于鳟鱼的故事感兴趣,而她关注的是鳟鱼本身,也知道世界上没有仙子。段落续写第一段的开头句给出的是:她在寂静的夜里坐了起来,斯蒂芬睡得很熟,第二段给出的开头是:茱莉亚把鳟鱼从鱼缸里倒进河里。故第一段可以写Julia拿着鱼缸去那个鳟鱼被困的地方解救鳟鱼的过程以及期间的心理和动作,第二段可以写她放生鳟鱼之后的心理感受以及家人对她行为的反应。写作时要注意时态的正确运用以及语言心理的描写,增加一些传神的形容词或者副词,并且要使用适当的连接词使行文逻辑清晰,结构合理,还要注意句式的多样性。
【点评】本篇书面表达给出的文章中有一些地方可能不太好看懂,在理解文章基础上针对给出的两个段落的首句可以确定文章要写的要点,第一段写救鳟鱼的过程及此过程中Julia的动作及心理,比如说尽管很害怕,但是还是坚持走到鳟鱼被困的地方把它救起来,第二段写Julia完成救助鳟鱼的事情后的心理状态和家人对她行为的反应,比如她的父母知道她的所做所为之后夸奖了它,为她竖起了大拇指。在写过程的时候可以适当采用一些连贯用语增加句子和句子之间的联系,使逻辑更加清楚。
14.【答案】"Well" said Brother "let's put on a play about that, and call it…" "The Trouble with Grownups!" shouted all the others. "Sensational!" said Sister as they slapped hands, delighted with the idea of showing parents how hard it is being cub. Putting on a play is easier said than done. You have to write it, figure out who is going to play the parts, then memorize it. Then you have to worry about costumes and scenery. The cubs did all that. It was hard, but it was fun, and they did it all in secret. The four practiced their parts, and before they knew it, it was time for the big Parents Night Talent Show.
Despite the difficulties in the preparation, especially costumes, their big day came finally. The audience of parents laughed and laughed when they saw how they seemed to their cubs. Mama and Papa laughed until tears rolled down their cheeks. Papa laughed, too, but not as much as Mama.
They both thought the play, which was a big surprise to them, was very well done. They admitted that it helped them understand what it was like being a cub.
Later, when they were going back home, Papa said, "I have a better idea how cubs feel now." Mama agreed.
"After all, we were cubs once ourselves," said Mama. "And here's a thought: You'll be grownups someday and, each probably have cubs of your own."
Brother and Sister thought about that for a moment. They looked at each other. Then they looked out into the distance and thought about it. It was something to think about.

16.【答案】Paragraph 1
Suddenly, I didn't feel quite so sorry for

something to cheer her up. "I have a better idea," I said
enthusiastically." Come on let's start back." "OK," agreed
Jen, and a little smile caught at the corner of her mouth. Ten minutes later,
Jen and I put our skates on the front porch, and I told her we can make a big
snow turkey." This is going to be great," Jen said, grinning at me
with rosy cheeks.
Paragraph
2
We
were so busy making it that we didn't hear our parents come outside." It's
the biggest snow turkey I've ever seen." said Mom with a grin. A moment
later, we were all busy working on our giant creation. When our snow turkey was
finished, Mom said to me," Thanks for cheering Jen up. You're a good
brother, and you come up with great ideas." A happy feeling spread through
me. I said," I guess we make a good team." The snow turkey helped me
remember that everything could still work out even if it had to change.
