第二节（满分 25分） Paragraph 1:
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。 It was completely dark when we realized that we must do something to save ourselves.
When I was 15 years old, my family decided to go on a vacation in the Sundarbans National Park in the ___________________________________________________________________________________________
month of March after my board exam was over. I have a big brother who is a professional photographer. Our main Paragraph 2:
aim was to click some good pictures of the famous Royal Bengal Tigers. Suddenly, there came the sound of a jeep car, and the tiger was distracted.
After we reached there, we took permission from the forest officials for two days of photo shooting. We had ___________________________________________________________________________________________
to make a platform on a tree to stay and click photos of tigers because it was quite risky on the ground. The
thought of a possible attack by a tiger discomforted me. The officials showed us the trail of the tigers from where
they could appear at any possible time, and they said “we have to monitor your movement, as it is very risky here
and we can't allow anyone to roam like a vagabond (流浪汉).”
So, we packed water and food for the day, my big brother's camera equipment, and some basic survival
equipment, including pepper spray (防身喷雾) and a flashlight. We chose a medium tree to stay on, which would
favor our shooting, and started our work by pointing the camera at the open part of the forest where a tiger could
appear.
There was no sign of any animal until late afternoon, when I found out that a big, strong Bengal tiger was
watching us from the backside of our operation. We were thrilled; my brother quickly snapped a few shots. As
hours passed, no more tigers turned up, and this one was still hanging around under the tree. It struck us that the
tiger was waiting for us to come down so that it could enjoy a grand feast. With our water and food finished, we
were getting anxious. There was no signal on our phones and not a single way to communicate. It seemed we
could do nothing but stay where we were.
