When Colleen Telfer moved to Monash with her two daughters, none of them expected just how much it would change their lives.
It started with buying the small town’s general store and ended with the Telfers volunteering together at a South Australian fire brigade (消防队).
In the first two years of the store, she would see the Monash Country Fire Service (CFS) engines fly past, located just across the road. Whether they were getting into the trucks at a moment’s notice or coming into her shop for a feed, she got to know the brigade and decided to join them.
Her desire to give back was shared by her 20-year-old daughter, Lara. “When the siren (警报器) would go off, I used to hate missing out,” Lara said. The pair joined in February last year, and about a year later they were joined by Colleen’s youngest daughter, 18-year-old Sophie.
As a senior volunteer firefighter, Colleen’s responsibilities have grown to include driving the brigade’s trucks. “I know it is often male-dominated, but don’t look at it like that. Females are just as good as males in any role,” Colleen said.
In November 2021, Georgie Cornish became the first woman to be appointed chief officer for the CFS. Ms. Cornish said there were still misconceptions that women might find it hard to do some jobs. “Women are sometimes better suited to some of those roles,” she said. “It’s very easy for us to assume that strength is everything we need in a firefighter. It’s not. Sometimes it’s agility and nimbleness (敏捷性和灵活性) that we actually need in the jobs we’re going to.”
Being part of something greater has strengthened the Telfers’ mother-daughter connections in more ways than one. “As a mother, you do worry about your children, but we’re not there by ourselves,” Colleen said. “We’ve always got other firefighters around who can help us.”
4. What did Collee n decide to do after moving to Monash
A. Sell off her local store. B. Become a truck driver.
C. Join CFS as a volunteer. D. Set up a volunteer fire brigade.
5. What is Lara’s attitude toward Colleen’s decision
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Thankful.
6. Which statement would Cornish agree with
A Women are more likely to get hurt in fires.
B. Women are less interested in physical work.
C. Women are well aware of other people’s feelings.
D. Women are capable of performing firefighting duties.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Celebrate women’s contributions to fire safety
B. Meet the family fighting fires and misconceptions
C. The real challenge of being a professional firefighter
D. The continuing rise of female leadership in firefighting
C
Blood may be thicker than water when it comes to human relationships and it appears that the same is true of jackdaws (寒鸦) after scientists found they readily switch friends to gain food but stick with family even at the risk of going hungry.
Alex Thornton, a professor of cognitive evolution, said, “We monitor hundreds of wild jackdaws, each of which is fitted with a tiny PIT tag like the chips (芯片) used for pet cats and dogs—embedded in (嵌入) a leg ring. In this experiment we randomly divided jackdaws into two groups —A or B—and programmed a pair of automated PIT tag-detecting devices to provide worms only if individuals from the same group(AA or BB) visited together.” If birds from different groups arrived together—A with B—the feeders would remain closed. Single birds would get grain, but not the more desirable worms.
Thornton said, “The idea was to find out if jackdaws could readjust their social associations. They might have friends in the wrong group. Do jackdaws ditch them and start to hang out with individuals who are in the right group The jackdaws turned out to be very strategic, quickly learning to abandon friends from the other group so they could get the best rewards. However, they made an exception when it came to their close relations even if they got nothing. What we were able to do here was test the idea: can individuals keep track of the outcomes of past interactions and update their relationships It turns out they can.”
Thornton said jackdaws were an excellent subject matter as they were clever and had dynamic social networks. “You’ve got individuals coming and going so beyond their strong relationships, and they have lots of other associations. They are similar to human society.” Michael Kings, of the University of Exeter, said, “These results help our understanding-of the evolution of intelligence as they show that being able to track and remember information about social partners can bring benefits.”
8. Which of the following matters most for jackdaws according to the experiment
A. Their family. B. Avoiding going hungry.
C. Staying away from risks. D. Their friends.
9. What can be learned about the jackdaws in the experiment
A Jackdaws on their own got worms. B. Jackdaws with their family got grain.
C. Jackdaws from the same group got worms. D. Jackdaws from different groups got grain.
10. What does the underlined word “ditch” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Reward. B. Abandon. C. Destroy. D. Believe.
11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To encourage further research. B. To give possible reasons for the results.
C. To explain the significance of the research. D. To summarize the findings of the experiment.
D
Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands are remote, rocky and endlessly fascinating. The wildlife encounters are quietly breathtaking and the scenery is amazing. The chance to experience this special region on an adventure voyage is both an advantage and an inspiration, and now also an opportunity to give back by getting involved in scientific research.
Citizen science — where you help scientists collect data that feeds into important research projects — gathers valuable data for making informed decisions about urgent issues like climate change and wildlife conservation. “It gave the trip more purpose.” is in the words of one citizen scientist.
Becoming a citizen scientist is simple. All of our polar voyage partners operate citizen science programmes on their ships. Fun, interactive and informative, they are completely voluntary and no prior scientific knowledge is required. It’s about sharing new discoveries and deepening your connection to the natural world with small groups of like-minded people.
On a typical citizen science programme, you will usually be invited to participate in at least one session on most days. A typical day might involve a seabird count at 14:00 and a cloud survey at 18:00. Or you might be photographing whales and noting their unique markings. In addition, a citizen science coordinator (协调员) will arrange short lectures.
Take two examples from Polar Latitudes (the first to offer citizen science projects in the polar regions), and their ship the Seaventure: citizen scientists studying cloud formations in Antarctica have provided a great deal of information about how global warming is deeply impacting climate change. Just a few readings taken during the course of each voyage have resulted in a wealth of data. Thousands of whale tail photos taken by citizen scientists, meanwhile, provided data that was crucial to the creation of a 20,000-sq-km slow-down zone to reduce ship strikes.
There are often multiple chances to collaborate (协作) on different projects during your voyage and on-board citizen science coordinators will keep you posted on the projects you can participate in each day.
12. What is an adventure voyage in Antarctica now special for
A. The chance to contribute to scientific studies.
B. The opportunity to experience wildlife encounters.
C. The possibility of visiting remote and rocky regions.
D. The availability of interactive entertaining programmes.
13. How can a visitor become a citizen scientist
A. By presenting short lectures on the ship. B. By passing a basic scientific knowledge test.
C. By making a citizen scientific research plan. D. By volunteering to attend a citizen science project.
14. What is a typical activity for a citizen scientist during their voyage
A. Conducting field experiments. B. Analyzing historical weather data.
C. Organizing book sharing meetings. D. Assisting with animal conservation efforts.
15 What does the last but one paragraph imply about citizen science programmes
A. They require broad scientific knowledge.
B. They make a great difference to scientific research.
C. They are available on every voyage in the Antarctic.
D. They mainly focus on global warming and its impact.
第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项为多余选项。
The final year of high school is one of the most significant transition periods in a young person’s life. ____16____. While there is plentiful evidence to show pursuing goals is associated with well-being, setting goals itself is not a cure-all. How you set goals and pursue them can either promote well-being or worsen anxiety.
● Focus on a positive target
Our goals are set as either “approach-oriented” or “avoidance-oriented”. Approach-oriented goals focus on a positive target. For example, “I want to work hard to get over 80% in biology.” ____17____. For example, “I want to avoid getting below 80% for biology.” These two goals are essentially the same in content, but evidence shows people who set approach-oriented goals report better well-being.
● Goals need to be meaningful and freely chosen
____18____ Goals that are genuinely meaningful and freely chosen represent internalized self-motivated goals and can promote well-being. On the other hand, goals that are a product of external pressures have been linked with stress and anxiety.
____19____
Compared to overly generalized goals, specific goals are more likely to be achieved. Specific goals provide more mental reminders to keep you on track and help monitor personal progress towards a goal. The more specific a person’s goal plans are, the better.
● Set goals outside of academic achievement
For the final year of schooling, it’s important to set goals that aren’t only linked to academic expectations. Having goals in other aspects such as leisure and recreation, health and relationships will help enhance your sense of well-being. ____20____.
A. Flexibility is of vital importance
B. Make sure your goals aren’t too general
C. Avoidance-oriented goals focus on avoiding negative outcomes
D. It’s important to think about why you set and pursue certain goals
E. One of the least enjoyable by-products is the stress associated with the final year
F. These goals will assist you in successfully progressing through the final year and beyond
G. If you’re experiencing severe stress, there are support contacts and resources available

Steller listens to people’s stories of loss, addiction, and ____27____ to get back on their feet. The attention ____28____ works.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Most nights, there was a light coming from the tiny island on the other side of the lake. I always thought that was strange because supposedly, no one lived there anymore. That’s why people called it Ghost Island. Stranger still, one night, the light flashed.
“There’s the light again,” I said to my brother, Dale.
“Yeah, strange,”he said.“Take a look, Ben,”Dad said. He had set up his telescope to view the planets, but now it was aimed at Ghost Island. I found that there was a spotlight (聚光灯).Dale looked too and guessed it was a tree branch, blowing back and forth in the wind.
Then I asked Dad what he knew about Ghost Island. “Mr. Mori has owned it since I was a kid. I remember he once served in the Coast Guard. And he must be quite old by now,” Dad said. “He used to spend summers there, but I wonder if he still comes up at all.”
The next day, we planned to go fishing. We always go before sunup and I was so worried about oversleeping that I woke up extra early. Dale was already on the boat. I looked across the lake, which was smooth as glass. “Huh,” I said. “There’s the light again. Only this time there was no wind, and the flashes appeared in a specific way. “It’s an SOS distress signal!” I said immediately. Dale laughed. “Morse code (摩斯密码) No one uses that old thing anymore.”
“No, watch,” I said. “It goes dot-dot-dot, dash-dash-dash, dot-dot-dot. That’s SOS. I learned it at Boy Scouts. I had to send and receive messages using Morse code.”
“You guys are going to scare all the fish away!” Dad said. “What’s going on ”
I told him about the light but it had stopped. And he advised us to check if Mr. Mori was at his cabin (小木屋). He might know Morse code due to his Coast Guard experience.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Dale doubted if we’d find anyone, but we set out for Ghost Island.

Paragraph 2:
We visited Mr. Mori several times after he returned to Ghost Island from the hospital.

When Colleen Telfer moved to Monash with her two daughters, none of them expected just how much it would change their lives.
It started with buying the small town’s general store and ended with the Telfers volunteering together at a South Australian fire brigade (消防队).
In the first two years of the store, she would see the Monash Country Fire Service (CFS) engines fly past, located just across the road. Whether they were getting into the trucks at a moment’s notice or coming into her shop for a feed, she got to know the brigade and decided to join them.
Her desire to give back was shared by her 20-year-old daughter, Lara. “When the siren (警报器) would go off, I used to hate missing out,” Lara said. The pair joined in February last year, and about a year later they were joined by Colleen’s youngest daughter, 18-year-old Sophie.
As a senior volunteer firefighter, Colleen’s responsibilities have grown to include driving the brigade’s trucks. “I know it is often male-dominated, but don’t look at it like that. Females are just as good as males in any role,” Colleen said.
In November 2021, Georgie Cornish became the first woman to be appointed chief officer for the CFS. Ms. Cornish said there were still misconceptions that women might find it hard to do some jobs. “Women are sometimes better suited to some of those roles,” she said. “It’s very easy for us to assume that strength is everything we need in a firefighter. It’s not. Sometimes it’s agility and nimbleness (敏捷性和灵活性) that we actually need in the jobs we’re going to.”
Being part of something greater has strengthened the Telfers’ mother-daughter connections in more ways than one. “As a mother, you do worry about your children, but we’re not there by ourselves,” Colleen said. “We’ve always got other firefighters around who can help us.”
4. What did Collee n decide to do after moving to Monash
A. Sell off her local store. B. Become a truck driver.
C. Join CFS as a volunteer. D. Set up a volunteer fire brigade.
5. What is Lara’s attitude toward Colleen’s decision
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Thankful.
6. Which statement would Cornish agree with
A. Women are more likely to get hurt in fires.
B. Women are less interested in physical work.
C. Women are well aware of other people’s feelings.
D. Women are capable of performing firefighting duties.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Celebrate women’s contributions to fire safety
B. Meet the family fighting fires and misconceptions
C. The real challenge of being a professional firefighter
D. The continuing rise of female leadership in firefighting

Blood may be thicker than water when it comes to human relationships and it appears that the same is true of jackdaws (寒鸦) after scientists found they readily switch friends to gain food but stick with family even at the risk of going hungry.
Alex Thornton, a professor of cognitive evolution, said, “We monitor hundreds of wild jackdaws, each of which is fitted with a tiny PIT tag like the chips (芯片) used for pet cats and dogs—embedded in (嵌入) a leg ring. In this experiment we randomly divided jackdaws into two groups —A or B—and programmed a pair of automated PIT tag-detecting devices to provide worms only if individuals from the same group(AA or BB) visited together.” If birds from different groups arrived together—A with B—the feeders would remain closed. Single birds would get grain, but not the more desirable worms.
Thornton said, “The idea was to find out if jackdaws could readjust their social associations. They might have friends in the wrong group. Do jackdaws ditch them and start to hang out with individuals who are in the right group The jackdaws turned out to be very strategic, quickly learning to abandon friends from the other group so they could get the best rewards. However, they made an exception when it came to their close relations even if they got nothing. What we were able to do here was test the idea: can individuals keep track of the outcomes of past interactions and update their relationships It turns out they can.”
Thornton said jackdaws were an excellent subject matter as they were clever and had dynamic social networks. “You’ve got individuals coming and going so beyond their strong relationships, and they have lots of other associations. They are similar to human society.” Michael Kings, of the University of Exeter, said, “These results help our understanding-of the evolution of intelligence as they show that being able to track and remember information about social partners can bring benefits.”
8. Which of the following matters most for jackdaws according to the experiment
A. Their family. B. Avoiding going hungry.
C. Staying away from risks. D. Their friends.
9. What can be learned about the jackdaws in the experiment
A. Jackdaws on their own got worms. B. Jackdaws with their family got grain.
C. Jackdaws from the same group got worms. D. Jackdaws from different groups got grain.
10. What does the underlined word “ditch” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Reward. B. Abandon. C. Destroy. D. Believe.
11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To encourage further research. B. To give possible reasons for the results.
C. To explain the significance of the research. D. To summarize the findings of the experiment.

In this experiment we randomly divided jackdaws into two groups —A or B—and programmed a pair of automated PIT tag-detecting devices to provide worms only if individuals from the same group(AA or BB) visited together.” If birds from different groups arrived together—A with B—the feeders would remain closed. Single birds would get grain, but not the more desirable worms. (认知进化教授亚历克斯·桑顿说：“我们对数百只野生寒鸦进行了监测，每只寒鸦身上都装有一个微型PIT标签，就像宠物猫和狗的芯片一样，嵌入腿环中。在这个实验中，我们将寒鸦随机分为A组和B组，并编程了一对自动PIT标签检测设备，只有当同一组（AA或BB）的个体一起访问时才提供蠕虫。”如果来自不同群体的鸟一起到达，喂食器将保持关闭状态。单身的鸟儿会得到粮食，但不会得到更理想的蠕虫。)”可知，来自同一组的寒鸦得到了虫子。故选C。

Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands are remote, rocky and endlessly fascinating. The wildlife encounters are quietly breathtaking and the scenery is amazing. The chance to experience this special region on an adventure voyage is both an advantage and an inspiration, and now also an opportunity to give back by getting involved in scientific research.
Citizen science — where you help scientists collect data that feeds into important research projects — gathers valuable data for making informed decisions about urgent issues like climate change and wildlife conservation. “It gave the trip more purpose.” is in the words of one citizen scientist.
Becoming a citizen scientist is simple. All of our polar voyage partners operate citizen science programmes on their ships. Fun, interactive and informative, they are completely voluntary and no prior scientific knowledge is required. It’s about sharing new discoveries and deepening your connection to the natural world with small groups of like-minded people.
On a typical citizen science programme, you will usually be invited to participate in at least one session on most days. A typical day might involve a seabird count at 14:00 and a cloud survey at 18:00. Or you might be photographing whales and noting their unique markings. In addition, a citizen science coordinator (协调员) will arrange short lectures.
Take two examples from Polar Latitudes (the first to offer citizen science projects in the polar regions), and their ship the Seaventure: citizen scientists studying cloud formations in Antarctica have provided a great deal of information about how global warming is deeply impacting climate change. Just a few readings taken during the course of each voyage have resulted in a wealth of data. Thousands of whale tail photos taken by citizen scientists, meanwhile, provided data that was crucial to the creation of a 20,000-sq-km slow-down zone to reduce ship strikes.
There are often multiple chances to collaborate (协作) on different projects during your voyage and on-board citizen science coordinators will keep you posted on the projects you can participate in each day.
12. What is an adventure voyage in Antarctica now special for
A. The chance to contribute to scientific studies.
B. The opportunity to experience wildlife encounters.
C. The possibility of visiting remote and rocky regions.
D. The availability of interactive entertaining programmes.
13. How can a visitor become a citizen scientist
A. By presenting short lectures on the ship. B. By passing a basic scientific knowledge test.
C. By making a citizen scientific research plan. D. By volunteering to attend a citizen science project.
14. What is a typical activity for a citizen scientist during their voyage
A. Conducting field experiments. B. Analyzing historical weather data.
C. Organizing book sharing meetings. D. Assisting with animal conservation efforts.
15. What does the last but one paragraph imply about citizen science programmes
A. They require broad scientific knowledge.
B. They make a great difference to scientific research.
C. They are available on every voyage in the Antarctic.
D. They mainly focus on global warming and its impact.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B

第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项为多余选项。
The final year of high school is one of the most significant transition periods in a young person’s life. ____16____. While there is plentiful evidence to show pursuing goals is associated with well-being, setting goals itself is not a cure-all. How you set goals and pursue them can either promote well-being or worsen anxiety.
● Focus on a positive target
Our goals are set as either “approach-oriented” or “avoidance-oriented”. Approach-oriented goals focus on a positive target. For example, “I want to work hard to get over 80% in biology.” ____17____. For example, “I want to avoid getting below 80% for biology.” These two goals are essentially the same in content, but evidence shows people who set approach-oriented goals report better well-being.
● Goals need to be meaningful and freely chosen
____18____ Goals that are genuinely meaningful and freely chosen represent internalized self-motivated goals and can promote well-being. On the other hand, goals that are a product of external pressures have been linked with stress and anxiety.
____19____
Compared to overly generalized goals, specific goals are more likely to be achieved. Specific goals provide more mental reminders to keep you on track and help monitor personal progress towards a goal. The more specific a person’s goal plans are, the better.
● Set goals outside of academic achievement
For the final year of schooling, it’s important to set goals that aren’t only linked to academic expectations. Having goals in other aspects such as leisure and recreation, health and relationships will help enhance your sense of well-being. ____20____.
A. Flexibility is of vital importance
B Make sure your goals aren’t too general
C. Avoidance-oriented goals focus on avoiding negative outcomes
D. It’s important to think about why you set and pursue certain goals
E. One of the least enjoyable by-products is the stress associated with the final year
F. These goals will assist you in successfully progressing through the final year and beyond
G. If you’re experiencing severe stress, there are support contacts and resources available
【答案】16. E 17. C 18. D 19. B 20. F

【17题详解】
由前文“Our goals are set as either “approach-oriented” or “avoidance-oriented”. Approach-oriented goals focus on a positive target. For example, “I want to work hard to get over 80% in biology.” (我们的目标要么是“接近导向”，要么是“回避导向”。方法导向的目标专注于一个积极的目标。例如，“我想努力学习，使生物成绩超过80%。”)”及后文“For example, “I want to avoid getting below 80% for biology.” These two goals are essentially the same in content, but evidence shows people who set approach-oriented goals report better well-being. (例如，“我想避免生物分数低于80%。”这两个目标在内容上基本上是一样的，但有证据表明，设定以方法为导向的目标的人幸福感更高)”举例说明避免特定成绩下滑的回避型目标。由此可知，此处应衔接介绍回避型目标的特点，C选项“Avoidance-oriented goals focus on avoiding negative outcomes (回避型目标专注于避免负面结果)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选C。
【18题详解】
由前文“Goals need to be meaningful and freely chosen (目标需要是有意义且自由选择的)”可知，前文强调了目标的意义和自主性，D选项“It’s important to think about why you set and pursue certain goals (思考你为什么设定和追求某些目标是很重要的)”解释了为何目标需要是个人有意义且自由选择的，因为这涉及到个人动机和目的，能承接上文，符合题意。故选D。
【19题详解】
由下文“Compared to overly generalized goals, specific goals are more likely to be achieved. Specific goals provide more mental reminders to keep you on track and help monitor personal progress towards a goal. The more specific a person’s goal plans are, the better. (与过于笼统的目标相比，具体的目标更容易实现。具体的目标提供了更多的精神提醒，让你保持正轨，并帮助监控个人朝着目标的进展。一个人的目标计划越具体越好)”可知，本段强调了具体目标的重要性，B选项“Make sure your goals aren’t too general (确保你的目标不要太宽泛)”概括了本段主旨，符合题意。故选B。
【20题详解】
由前文“For the final year of schooling, it’s important to set goals that aren’t only linked to academic expectations. Having goals in other aspects such as leisure and recreation, health and relationships will help enhance your sense of well-being. (在学校的最后一年，重要的是要设定不仅仅与学业期望相关的目标。在休闲娱乐、健康和人际关系等其他方面设定目标，将有助于增强你的幸福感)”可知，前文建议在学业成就之外设定目标，提到了休闲、娱乐、健康和人际关系等方面。由此可知，本空接着说设定多元化目标的好处，F选项“These goals will assist you in successfully progressing through the final year and beyond (这些目标将帮助你成功地度过最后一年及以后的时间)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。

A recent survey shows why young people have a preference for domestic brands when purchasing electronic products.
The findings indicate that only 5% cite peer influence, while 20% attribute their choice to patriotism. However, a significant 45% cite the superior quality of domestic products, and 30% emphasize their cost-effectiveness.
In my opinion, the preference for domestic brands reflects the growing recognition of their quality and value.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Most nights, there was a light coming from the tiny island on the other side of the lake. I always thought that was strange because supposedly, no one lived there anymore. That’s why people called it Ghost Island. Stranger still, one night, the light flashed.
“There’s the light again,” I said to my brother, Dale.
“Yeah, strange,”he said.“Take a look, Ben,”Dad said. He had set up his telescope to view the planets, but now it was aimed at Ghost Island. I found that there was a spotlight (聚光灯).Dale looked too and guessed it was a tree branch, blowing back and forth in the wind.
Then I asked Dad what he knew about Ghost Island. “Mr. Mori has owned it since I was a kid. I remember he once served in the Coast Guard. And he must be quite old by now,” Dad said. “He used to spend summers there, but I wonder if he still comes up at all.”
The next day, we planned to go fishing. We always go before sunup and I was so worried about oversleeping that I woke up extra early. Dale was already on the boat. I looked across the lake, which was smooth as glass. “Huh,” I said. “There’s the light again. Only this time there was no wind, and the flashes appeared in a specific way. “It’s an SOS distress signal!” I said immediately. Dale laughed. “Morse code (摩斯密码) No one uses that old thing anymore.”
“No, watch,” I said. “It goes dot-dot-dot, dash-dash-dash, dot-dot-dot. That’s SOS. I learned it at Boy Scouts. I had to send and receive messages using Morse code.”
“You guys are going to scare all the fish away!” Dad said. “What’s going on ”
I told him about the light but it had stopped. And he advised us to check if Mr. Mori was at his cabin (小木屋). He might know Morse code due to his Coast Guard experience.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Dale doubted if we’d find anyone, but we set out for Ghost Island.

Paragraph 2:
We visited Mr. Mori several times after he returned to Ghost Island from the hospital.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Dale doubted if we’d find anyone, but we set out for Ghost Island. As we drew closer, the old camp came into view, partially obscured by pine trees. After tying up to the dock, we followed an overgrown trail that led to the cabin. “Hello ” I called. “Anybody home ” A voice from inside made us jump. “Yes! Please, I need help!” We pushed the door open. An elderly man lay on a couch with one foot elevated. He leaned back and sighed. “Thank goodness.” “Mr. Mori ” Dale said. The man nodded. “I was taking a picture when I accidentally dropped my phone into the lake and twisted my ankle.” Frowning, he looked at the badly swollen joint. Dale called Dad, who arrived shortly after with two marine patrol officers. They moved Mr. Mori on to a boat and took him across the lake, where an ambulance was waiting.
Paragraph 2:
We visited Mr. Mori several times after he returned to Ghost Island from the hospital. It was evident that he had fallen on hard times. We helped him with repairs and brought him groceries. He always thanked us for what we had done. Over time, we formed a bond with him. He often told us stories of his adventures in the Coast Guard and we would listen with rapt attention. Mr. Mori’s island no longer seemed like a ghost island to us. Instead, it became a place of warmth and friendship, a reminder that even in the most remote places, humanity can still flourish.
