Located in the Atlantic Ocean halfway between Norway and Iceland, the Faroe Islads are a still-somewhat-undiscovered destination. Known for seeping landscapes and sometimes-harsh weather, these island definitely deserve a spot on your bucket list.

·Drive out to the town of Gjógv

Getting around
Renting a car and driving is the best way to fully experience the Faroe Islands. Public transport does exist, but buses don’t run to most places very frequently. It is recommended that you book your car ahead of time, especially during the summer. (Search for rental cars here.)
Where to stay
Thanks to the roads, bridges, and tunnels, nothing is very far away in the Faroe Islands. You can get from Tórshavn to Tj rnuvkí or Gjógyv in just over an hour—meaning you could easily base yourself in Tórshavn for your whole trip if you wanted.
If you do feel like staying outside of the capital for a night or two, consider making Gjógv your second base: Funningur is the only accommodation available in Gjógv, but it’s lovely. A nice guesthouse and restaurant sitting on a hill overlooking the village. (Read reviews on TripAdvisor | Book here)

CPR saves lives. It can really change someone’s life, as I found out for myself three years ago.
On October 14, 2009, my mom had an accident while playing soccer and was taken to hospital. The next morning, I was told that my mom had had a cardiac arrest (心脏停搏). I later learned that two players on the opposing team kept breathing air into my mother’s mouth and pressing her chest for seven minutes, as they waited for the ambulance to arrive. My mom stayed in the hospital for only ten days. I know that I am very lucky to have my mom here, because most people who have cardiac arrests and do not receive CPR within the first six minutes die.
My mom has used this experience to spread the word about CPR. She joined the Sudden Cardiae Arrest Support Group, which was set up to help survivors and their families through a difficult experience. The support group also takes part in the Heart Walk every year, raising money for the American Heart Association. And she attends Lobby Day each year, convincing the New York State Legislature to pass a law that would make basic CPR and first-aid training a graduation requirement for high school students.
This task is not as difficult as it may first appear to be. Every student in New York State must take health class in order to graduate. Just one or two days of health class each year will ensure that every student in the state will learn this important skill. This training is also nearly free. There is no need for a professional CPR instructor because the American Heart Association has online videos that show the newest techniques in CPR. Also, most local EMS services will lend training models to schools.
My mom and her fellow survivors go to a high school each year to talk to the students about the importance of learning CPR. This training will not get you the official CPR certification (证书), but as my mom says, “You don’t need a little card to save someone’s life.”
4. How does the author feel about the two players
A. Deeply grateful. B. Quite concerned. C. A bit sorry. D. Rather frightened.
5. Which of the following best shows the order of events related to the mother
a. My mom participated in an activity about passing a law.
b. My mom walks into schools to help students realize the significance of CPR.
c My mom suffered from heart problem and was given first aid.
d. My mom joined a specialized group.
A. a-c-b-d B. c-d-a-b C. c-a-d-b D. d-a-c-b
6. What does Paragraph 4 say about the CPR training for students
A. It may be turned down by a lot of students. B. It requires little time and money.
C. It will become a graduation requirement. D. It is difficult and dangerous.
7. What might the author’s mother agree with
A. It is challenging for many students to master CPR skills.
B. Every graduate should get an official CPR certification.
C CPR skills are more important than CPR certifications.
D. High schools should make a special card for CPR learners.
C
For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
8. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York
A. It promoted the sales of artworks. B. It attracted a large number of visitors.
C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
9. What does Hill say about Chinese women
A. They are setting the fashion. B. They start many fashion campaigns.
C. They admire super models. D. They do business all over the world.
10. What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean
A. learning from B. looking down on C. working with D. competing against
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends
D
In the world of contemporary art, there are artists whose creativity and originality challenge the established boundaries, attracting the public with their wisdom. One of these innovators is the famous Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang, whose art installations (装置艺术) leave everyone speechless.
With an imaginative mind and an unconventional approach, Cai Guo-Qiang has become a master of fireworks display, employing the gunpowder of fireworks in his art in a truly extraordinary way. Through the mastery of said material and the explosions controlled, Cai creates installations that go beyond expectations and take the public on an unforgettable journey.
One of his most important creations is the installation titled “The rise of butterflies”. In this work, Cai uses a combination of gunpowder and paper to create a striking cloud of flying butterflies. The delicate winged creatures move back and forth in the air, creating a magical and ephemeral effect that goes against the laws of gravity.
But perhaps one of the most curious and daring installations of Cai Guo-Qiang is “The garden of ephemeral sculptures”. In this work, the artist uses controlled explosives to sculpt shapes in huge blocks of ice. As the explosions occur, the icy figures gradually transform, creating an ephemeral and ever-changing scene. It is as if the sculptures come alive for a brief moment before disappearing completely.
Cai Guo-Qiang is an artist who breaks the limits of imagination. His installations transport us to a world of magic, where fire and gunpowder become tools for creation. He combines aesthetic (审美的) beauty with unusual elements, making his works unique and fascinating. Without a doubt, Cai’s impact on contemporary art is undeniable. His installations have attracted audiences around the world and will inspire future generations to break free and find beauty in the unpredictable (不可预测的).
12. Which might be the best title for Cai Guo-Qiang
A. An explosive genius. B. A creative sculptor.
C. A traditional painter. D. An artistic pioneer.
13. What does the word “ephemeral” mean in the passage
A. Unique. B. Short-lived.
C. Unconventional. D. Breath-taking.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Cai’s impact on art is unpredictable.
B. Cai’s success results from global recognition.
C. Cai’s art changes traditional concept of beauty.
D. Cai’s art inspires artists to think outside the box.
15. What is the text most likely to be
A. A diary entry of Cai Guo-Qiang.
B. A profile of celebrity in a magazine.
C. A scientific research paper on fireworks.
D. An advertisement for a fireworks company.

A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach, Saskatchewan. I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year before, I had lost my job with the provincial government, and now our financial situation was grim. In despair, I had finally put the home on the market, and a real estate agent was due to show up later that day. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬) Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in despair, I sat typing up resumes and cover letters. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle nanny-dog, Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell rang and I was sure some of my Christmas packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there Perhaps, someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed I would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
Thinking of these, I couldn’t help heaving a sigh and went straight back to work. However, I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking furiously and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. Suddenly, I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen. In panic, I opened the door and ran outside.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital.

CPR saves lives. It can really change someone’s life, as I found out for myself three years ago.
On October 14, 2009, my mom had an accident while playing soccer and was taken to hospital. The next morning, I was told that my mom had had a cardiac arrest (心脏停搏). I later learned that two players on the opposing team kept breathing air into my mother’s mouth and pressing her chest for seven minutes, as they waited for the ambulance to arrive. My mom stayed in the hospital for only ten days. I know that I am very lucky to have my mom here, because most people who have cardiac arrests and do not receive CPR within the first six minutes die.
My mom has used this experience to spread the word about CPR. She joined the Sudden Cardiae Arrest Support Group, which was set up to help survivors and their families through a difficult experience. The support group also takes part in the Heart Walk every year, raising money for the American Heart Association. And she attends Lobby Day each year, convincing the New York State Legislature to pass a law that would make basic CPR and first-aid training a graduation requirement for high school students.
This task is not as difficult as it may first appear to be. Every student in New York State must take health class in order to graduate. Just one or two days of health class each year will ensure that every student in the state will learn this important skill. This training is also nearly free. There is no need for a professional CPR instructor because the American Heart Association has online videos that show the newest techniques in CPR. Also, most local EMS services will lend training models to schools.
My mom and her fellow survivors go to a high school each year to talk to the students about the importance of learning CPR. This training will not get you the official CPR certification (证书), but as my mom says, “You don’t need a little card to save someone’s life.”
4. How does the author feel about the two players
A. Deeply grateful. B. Quite concerned. C. A bit sorry. D. Rather frightened.
5. Which of the following best shows the order of events related to the mother
a. My mom participated in an activity about passing a law.
b. My mom walks into schools to help students realize the significance of CPR.
c. My mom suffered from heart problem and was given first aid.
d. My mom joined a specialized group.
A. a-c-b-d B. c-d-a-b C. c-a-d-b D. d-a-c-b
6. What does Paragraph 4 say about the CPR training for students
A. It may be turned down by a lot of students. B. It requires little time and money.
C. It will become a graduation requirement. D. It is difficult and dangerous.
7. What might the author’s mother agree with
A. It is challenging for many students to master CPR skills.
B. Every graduate should get an official CPR certification.
C. CPR skills are more important than CPR certifications.
D High schools should make a special card for CPR learners.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲的是作者的妈妈在发生心脏骤停后被人用心肺复苏术拯救了性命,后来作者的妈妈利用这次经历来宣传心肺复苏术,说服纽约州立法机构通过一项法律,将基本的心肺复苏术和急救训练作为高中学生毕业的要求。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I later learned that two players on the opposing team kept breathing air into my mother’s mouth and pressing her chest for seven minutes, as they waited for the ambulance to arrive.(我后来了解到,在等待救护车到来的过程中,对方球队的两名队员一直向我母亲的嘴里吸气并按压她的胸部长达7分钟)”和“I know that I am very lucky to have my mom here, because most people who have cardiac arrests and do not receive CPR within the first six minutes die.(我知道我很幸运我的妈妈在这里,因为大多数心脏骤停的人没有在最初的六分钟内接受心肺复苏术就会死亡)”可知,那两名球员通过心肺复苏术救了作者的母亲,因此作者非常感激他们。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“On October 14, 2009, my mom had an accident while playing soccer and was taken to hospital. The next morning, I was told that my mom had had a cardiac arrest (心脏停搏).(2009年10月14日,我妈妈在踢足球时发生了意外,被送往医院。第二天早上,我被告知母亲心脏骤停)”可知,c排序第一,故排除A、D选项;根据第三段“She joined the Sudden Cardiae Arrest Support Group, which was set up to help survivors and their families through a difficult experience.(她加入了心脏骤停支持小组,该小组的成立是为了帮助幸存者和他们的家人度过难关)”可知,d排序第二,故顺序为cdab。故选B。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This training will not get you the official CPR certification (证书), but as my mom says, “You don’t need a little card to save someone’s life.”(这次培训不会让你获得官方的CPR认证,但就像我妈妈说的,“你不需要一张小卡片就能拯救一个人的生命。”)”可知,作者的母亲应该会认为,心肺复苏术的技能比这种技术的证书更重要。故选C。

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
8. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York
A. It promoted the sales of artworks. B. It attracted a large number of visitors.
C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
9. What does Hill say about Chinese women
A. They are setting the fashion. B. They start many fashion campaigns.
C. They admire super models. D. They do business all over the world.
10. What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean
A. learning from B. looking down on C. working with D. competing against
11 What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚界的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.可知,此次展览吸引的参观者人数创下了记录,显示出人们对中国影响的浓厚兴趣。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Hill所说的话“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.”(中国模特是向世界各地的女性推销梦想的美丽和时尚运动的面孔,这意味着中国女性不仅仅是时尚的消费者——她们是这场运动的核心。)可知,Hill说中国女性正在引领新时尚,故选A。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文and beating them hands down in design and sales说在设计和销售上击败他们,由此推断出上文Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Mare Jacobs的意思是Vera Wang、Alexander Wang和Jason Wu正在与Galliano、Albaz和 Mare Jacobs竞争。taking on意思是“竞争”,故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文通过Amanda Hill的评论,论述了中国文化、中国艺术、中国设计师等等在国际时尚中发挥着非常重要的作用。因此,“中国文化刺激着国际时尚的发展和潮流”最能概括文章大意。故选D。
D
In the world of contemporary art, there are artists whose creativity and originality challenge the established boundaries, attracting the public with their wisdom. One of these innovators is the famous Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang, whose art installations (装置艺术) leave everyone speechless.
With an imaginative mind and an unconventional approach, Cai Guo-Qiang has become a master of fireworks display, employing the gunpowder of fireworks in his art in a truly extraordinary way. Through the mastery of said material and the explosions controlled, Cai creates installations that go beyond expectations and take the public on an unforgettable journey.
One of his most important creations is the installation titled “The rise of butterflies”. In this work, Cai uses a combination of gunpowder and paper to create a striking cloud of flying butterflies. The delicate winged creatures move back and forth in the air, creating a magical and ephemeral effect that goes against the laws of gravity.
But perhaps one of the most curious and daring installations of Cai Guo-Qiang is “The garden of ephemeral sculptures”. In this work, the artist uses controlled explosives to sculpt shapes in huge blocks of ice. As the explosions occur, the icy figures gradually transform, creating an ephemeral and ever-changing scene. It is as if the sculptures come alive for a brief moment before disappearing completely.
Cai Guo-Qiang is an artist who breaks the limits of imagination. His installations transport us to a world of magic, where fire and gunpowder become tools for creation. He combines aesthetic (审美的) beauty with unusual elements, making his works unique and fascinating. Without a doubt, Cai’s impact on contemporary art is undeniable. His installations have attracted audiences around the world and will inspire future generations to break free and find beauty in the unpredictable (不可预测的).
12. Which might be the best title for Cai Guo-Qiang
A. An explosive genius. B. A creative sculptor.
C. A traditional painter. D. An artistic pioneer.
13. What does the word “ephemeral” mean in the passage
A. Unique. B. Short-lived.
C. Unconventional. D. Breath-taking.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Cai’s impact on art is unpredictable.
B. Cai’s success results from global recognition.
C. Cai’s art changes traditional concept of beauty.
D. Cai’s art inspires artists to think outside the box.
15. What is the text most likely to be
A. A diary entry of Cai Guo-Qiang.
B. A profile of celebrity in a magazine.
C. A scientific research paper on fireworks.
D. An advertisement for a fireworks company.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】

12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“With an imaginative mind and an unconventional approach, Cai Guo-Qiang has become a master of fireworks display, employing the gunpowder of fireworks in his art in a truly extraordinary way.”(蔡国强凭借其富有想象力的头脑和非常规的方法,成为烟花表演大师,以一种真正非凡的方式将烟花的火药运用到他的艺术中。)可知,蔡国强可以获得的最好的称谓是爆炸天才。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“In this work, the artist uses controlled explosives to sculpt shapes in huge blocks of ice. As the explosions occur, the icy figures gradually transform, creating an ephemeral and ever-changing scene.”(在这个作品中,艺术家使用控制炸药在巨大的冰块上雕刻形状。随着爆炸的发生,冰冷的人物逐渐变形,创造了一个短暂而不断变化的场景。)可知,艺术家使用控制炸药在巨大的冰块上雕刻形状,根据常识可知,随着爆炸的发生冰冷的人物也会在短时间内消失,推断出B项“短暂的”和ephemeral意思一致,符合题意。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“He combines aesthetic (审美的) beauty with unusual elements, making his works unique and fascinating. Without a doubt, Cai’s impact on contemporary art is undeniable.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述人工智能的图像生成器受到出奇的欢迎并且在创意产业使用,但很多创意人士认为它还不能取代人类插画师。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:出乎意料的是,在过去的几个月里,基于AI的图像生成器,如DALL-E 2, Midjourney和Stable Diffusion,使任何人都可以通过在文本框中输入几个单词来创建独特的,超逼真的图像。作介词的宾语,应用名词anticipation,为不可数名词,故填anticipation。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:出乎意料的是,在过去的几个月里,基于AI的图像生成器,如DALL-E 2, Midjourney和Stable Diffusion,使任何人都可以通过在文本框中输入几个单词来创建独特的,超逼真的图像。此处为make it adj. for sb. to do sth.,it为形式宾语,不定式作真正宾语。故填to create。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些应用虽然是新产品,但已经出奇地受欢迎。修饰形容popular作状语,应用副surprisingly。故填surprisingly。
【39题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:现在判断这一新的应用浪潮是否会有足够的影响力来抢夺艺术家的工作还为时过早。引导宾语从句,表示“是否”应用whether。故填whether。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:现在判断这一新的应用浪潮是否会有足够的影响力来抢夺艺术家的工作还为时过早。作宾语,表示“艺术家”应用名词artist,根据后文their可知为复数。故填artists。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:不管怎样,这些工具显然已经在创意产业中得到了应用。短语regardless of表示“不管”。故填of。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:萨拉·德拉蒙德是伦敦的一名服务设计师,几个月前,她开始使用人工智能生成的图像来代替她为工作绘制的黑白草图。短语start doing sth.表示“开始做某事”。故填using。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:萨拉·德拉蒙德是伦敦的一名服务设计师,几个月前,她开始使用人工智能生成的图像来代替她为工作绘制的黑白草图。此处特指她为工作绘制的黑白草图,应用定冠词。故填the。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,他们不擅长更复杂的草图,或者用同一个角色制作多幅图像。作介词at的宾语,应用动名词。故填making。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意:和其他创意专业人士一样,她说她认为人工智能设计师不会完全取代人类插画师。从句表示将来的动作,应用将来时,此处主句为一般过去时,宾语从句应用过去相对应的时态,即过去将来时。故填would replace。

47. 阅读下面短文,根据其内容及所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach, Saskatchewan. I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year before, I had lost my job with the provincial government, and now our financial situation was grim. In despair, I had finally put the home on the market, and a real estate agent was due to show up later that day. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬) Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in despair, I sat typing up resumes and cover letters. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle nanny-dog, Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on Christmas eve when the doorbell rang and I was sure some of my Christmas packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there Perhaps, someone had found the puppy somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed I would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
Thinking of these, I couldn’t help heaving a sigh and went straight back to work. However, I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking furiously and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. Suddenly, I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen. In panic, I opened the door and ran outside.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, dive into the pool. Then to my horror, I caught sight of Forrest’s yellow sleeper. Brigitte was bravely doing her best to keep him afloat by holding on to his sleeper with her mouth. At the same time, she was desperately trying to swim to the shallow end. Only then did I realize that Forrest had somehow opened the door, wandered out and fallen into the pool. In a split second, I dove in, lifted my precious baby out and carried him inside. Hands shaking, I called 911 and we were rushed to the hospital immediately, where the doctor kept him for observation for one night.
Finally, the doctor said Forrest was all right and could be released from hospital. Back home, once Brigitte saw him, she barked with apparent joy and wouldn’t let Forrest out of her sight. In time she settled down, but remained dedicated to Forrest and followed him everywhere, concerned about his safety. Even when Forrest was asleep, Brigitte crammed herself under the crib, keeping a vigil. Our dog was indeed an angel, erasing any despair I might have had about losing our home. A house could always be replaced, but knowing we had each other around was the greatest blessing of all. I was grateful she was part of our lives, who I would never give up.
