A
Are you dreaming of overcoming Mount Kilimanjaro, but not sure which route to take Here’s an overview of four Kilimanjaro routes for you.
Marangu Route
The Marangu Route, also known as the “Coca - Cola Route”, is distinguished by its cottage accommodations and is a popular choice for climbers aiming to reach the top of Kilimanjaro.
Providing a more comfortable option compared to camping, these simple cottages offer basic facilities and can be a welcoming sight after a day of challenging hiking.
Machame Route
The Machame Route, often referred to as the “Whiskey Route”, is famous for its splendid landscapes and challenging summit（顶峰） night that tests climbers’ determination and tolerance.
The night before the summit push is a laborious test, characterized by sharp, rocky landscape and freezing temperatures, where climbers rely on their mental strength and physical preparedness to overcome the final barriers to Uhuru Peak.
Lemosho Route
The Lemosho Route offers breathtaking scenic views and owns one of the highest summit success rates among the Kilimanjaro routes, making it a favourite among climbers.
What sets the Lemosho Route apart is its gradual climb profile, allowing climbers to accustom effectively and increase their chances of reaching the summit successfully.
Rongai Route
The Rongai Route provides a quiet hiking experience, allowing climbers to impress themselves with the untouched wilderness of Kilimanjaro’s northern side.
Adaptation becomes more manageable due to the route’s gentle ascent, allowing climbers to adjust to the increasing height comfortably. The unique advantage of this path is its relatively lower traffic, providing a peaceful experience in harmony with nature’s patterns.
21. What makes Marangu Route special
A. The accommodations. B. The free Coca-Cola.
C. The camping sight. D. The challenging hiking.
22. What is most required when you choose Machame Route
A. Climbing equipment. B. Help of whiskey.
C. Teamwork of climbers. D. Strong willpower.
23. What do the last two routes have in common
A. They have lower traffic. B. They offer vast wilderness.
C. They are easier to adapt to. D. They are planned for the old.
B
I was sitting in a chemistry lab class during my first year of university, nervous about the experiment we were to perform. I grabbed a pipette and, as I feared, my hand started to shake. The experience was disheartening. I was hoping to pursue a career in science, but I started to wonder whether that would be possible. I thought my dreams had crashed to the ground.
I was a boy born with brain damage. My family managed to find good doctors where we lived, in Leningrad （now St. Petersburg）, Russia, and I took part in clinical trials testing new treatments. Shortly after my first birthday, I started walking and it became clear that my intelligence function was unaffected. So, in some sense, I was lucky. Still, I couldn’t do some things growing up. Both hands shook, especially when I was nervous or embarrassed. My left hand was much worse than my right, so I learned to write and do simple tasks with my right hand, but it wasn’t easy to do anything precisely.
As a teenager, I faced a lot of bullying at school. Feeling alone, I joined a study group called “The natural world”. I thought that getting into the world of animals would keep me away from people. That’s how I came into the field of biology. At university, I enjoyed the lectures in my science classes. Many lab tasks proved impossible, however. As I struggled with my mood, I read a book about depression. From then on, the physiology of mental disorders became my scientific passion. I looked into what was being done locally and was excited to discover a lab that did behavioral experiments on rats to study depression.
At the end of my second year, I approached the professor of the lab to see whether I could work with her. I was afraid to admit I couldn’t do some lab tasks. To my relief, she was completely supportive. She set me to work performing behavioral experiments for others in the lab with the help of colleagues. I loved the supportive atmosphere and stayed there to complete my master’s and Ph. D.
I’ve come to realize that my hands aren’t the barrier I thought they were. By making use of my abilities and working as part of a team, I’ve been able to follow my passions. I’ve also realized that there’s much more to being a scientist than performing the physical labor. I may not collect all the data in my papers, but I’m fully capable of designing experiments and interpreting results, which, to me, is the most exciting part of science.
24. What was the author’s dream
A. To live a normal life. B. To become a scientist.
C. To get a master’s degree. D. To recover from depression.
25. Why did the author say he was lucky in Paragraph 2
A. Because he didn’t lose the function of both hands.
B. Because he learned how to walk at the age of one.
C. Because his family could afford to see good doctors.
D. Because his brain damage didn’t affect his intelligence.
26. What can you learn from the passage
A. The team in the lab urged him to further his study.
B. The author finally finished the lab tasks on his own.
C. The author’s experience inspired him to help others.
D. The author’s loneliness led him to the world of biology.
27. What message does the author want to express
A. Loving yourself makes a difference.
B. Opportunity follows prepared people.
C. A bright future begins with a small dream.
D. The sun somehow shines through the storm.
C
Faced with an attempt by a new chatbot to imitate his own songs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a strong response: it was “an absolutely horrible attempt”. He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only conclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque（滑稽的模仿）”, because robots - being composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering.
Fans of Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that doesn’t mean they would necessarily be able to tell the difference. A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons.
These are party games, but they point to an unfolding challenge that must be managed as a matter of urgency because, like it or not, AI art is upon us. The arrival of the human - impersonating ChatGPT might have increased general awareness, but artists across a wide range of disciplines are already exploring its potential, with the dancer Wayne McGregor and London’s Young Vic Theatre among those who have created AI - based works.
A strongly - worded report from Communications and Digital Committee （CDC） issued a wake - up call to the government, urging it to raise its game in educating future generations of tech - savvy professionals, and tackling key regulatory challenges. These included reviewing reforms to intellectual property（知识产权） law, strengthening the rights of performers and artists, and taking action to support the creative sector in adapting to the disturbances caused by swift and stormy technological change.
While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. It deplored the failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence against proposed changes to intellectual property law that would give copyright exemption（版权豁免） to any work, anywhere in the world, involving AI text and data mining.
The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short and long term. State - of - the - art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping and exploring the philosophical ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful. They need it now.
28. Why does the author mention the experts’ performance in Paragraph 2
A. To imply AI art cannot be underestimated.
B. To prove AI is stretching the boundaries of art.
C. To argue that human art will be replaced by AI art.
D. To stress the similarities between AI art and human art.
29. What does the underlined word “deplored” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Clearly analysed. B. Bravely suffered.
C. Strongly criticized. D. Accurately perceived.
30. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Some artists see AI as a tool even though it is a threat.
B. Creative industries are responsible for causing the AI problem.
C. Tech professionals need more training to better understand AI art.
D. The quality of AI art removes concerns about intellectual property.
31. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. AI in Art: A Battle That Must Be Fought
B. The Creative Thief: AI Makes Perfect Art
C. Threat or Opportunity: The Impact of AI on Art
D. The Rise of AI Art: What It Means to Human Artists
D
That dinosaurs ate the mammals that ran beneath their feet is not in doubt. Now an extraordinary fossil newly described in Scientific Reports, unearthed by a team led by Gang Han at Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology in China, shows that sometimes the tables were turned.
The fossil - dated to about 125 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period-was formed when a flow of boiling volcanic mud swallowed two animals seemingly locked in a life-and-death fight. The one on top is a mammal. The other animal is a herbivorous species closely related to the Triceratops（三角恐龙）. Animal interactions such as this are exceptionally rare in the fossil record.
One possibility is that the mammal was eating something already dead, rather than hunting live prey. These days it is uncommon for small mammals to attack much larger animals. But it is not unheard of. And Dr. Han and his colleagues point out that those mammals which eat dead bodies typically leave tooth marks all over the bones of the animals. The dinosaur’s remains show no such marks. There is also a chance the fossil could be a fake. More and more convincing fakes have emerged, as this one did — though Dr. Han and his colleagues argue that the complex and tangled nature of the skeletons（骨骼） makes that unlikely, too.
Assuming it is genuine, the discovery serves as a reminder that not all dinosaurs were enormous during the Cretaceous and not all mammals were tiny. From nose to tail, the dinosaur is just 1.2 meters long. The mammal is a bit under half a meter in length. Despite being half the size, the mammal has one pa w firmly wrapped around one of its prey’s limbs, and another pulling on its jaw. It is biting down on the dinosaur’s chest, and has ripped off two of its ribs. Before they were interrupted, it seems that the mammal was winning.
32. What does the author imply in Paragraph 1
A. The fittest survives. B. The hunters become hunted.
C. All dinosaurs ate mammals. D. The truth always comes to light.
33. Why does the author mention the “tooth mark” in Paragraph 3
A. To prove the fossil was fake.
B. To show the forming of the fossil.
C. To illustrate the process of hunting.
D. To suggest the dinosaur was hunted alive.
34. What makes Dr. Han think the fossil is genuine
A. The size of the fossil.
B. The absence of fake fossils.
C. The agreement of the opinions.
D. The complexity of the skeletons.
35. What is the function of the last paragraph
A. It offers a likely cause.
B. It highlights a solution.
C. It justifies the discovery.
D. It provides a new discovery.

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill - cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty - eight - foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built - in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
40 It must be true that sooner or later everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.
A. This time there was no tent.
B. Things are going to be improved.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than three feet tall.

Standing there in that circle of cheering audience, I came to 53 the importance of teamwork. Just as Milwaukee said, “ 54 teams maybe have one or two players who stand out; good teams have five who work together. It is amazing what can be achieved when no one cares who gets his own 55 .”

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。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith（银匠） in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’ s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
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。

An Inspiring Person
When we think of inspiring people, Helen Keller is one of the first who come to mind. Her life story has touched millions, showing how one can overcome even the most difficult challenges.
Helen Keller lost both her sight and hearing as a young child. With the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, she learned to communicate and went on to become the first deaf - blind person to earn a college degree. She then dedicated her life to advocating for people with disabilities.
Helen’s story teaches us the power of resilience and compassion. Her determination encourages us to face challenges bravely and reminds us to help others achieve their potential.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize! Surprise and joy occupied my mind. Despite the obstacle and confusion on the road, the horse eventually reached his destination with determination. I immediately shared the news with my teacher, and his excitement was obvious: “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my sincerest thanks to my teacher, without whose encouragement I wouldn’t have come this far.
Paragraph 2:
I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said, “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” Inspired by his faith in me,I promised to work hard and produce meaningful pieces. Since then, I’ve written many works and am now a recognized writer. I owe my success to my teacher, who is a guiding light on my journey into the world of writing.

W: You’re right. That’s a perfect place. Let’s spend our vacation there.

Text 10（美育－参观自然历史博物馆）
Good morning, everyone and welcome to the Natural History Museum. Before you take a look around, let me tell you what we have and where they are. Firstly, in the Entrance Hall here, you can see some beautiful paintings of flowers and leaves from different countries. Turn left and walk one minute, and you can see an exhibition of extinct animals, which contains most of native endangered animals. On the right, there is a small theatre, where you can watch a short film about the Earth millions of years ago. It lasts 30 minutes and it plays every hour on the hour. Don’t forget to take a look at it. Upstairs then, you can see a huge bookshelf. Many history books are on it. It is worth mentioning that all the books were donated. If you also have some history books that you don’t need anymore, donate them in your name! Next on the third floor, you can see a big shop. You can buy some gifts about this museum there. Additionally, we’ll close at 5:45p. m., so you’ve got lots of time to enjoy yourselves.

Are you dreaming of overcoming Mount Kilimanjaro, but not sure which route to take Here’s an overview of four Kilimanjaro routes for you.
Marangu Route
The Marangu Route, also known as the “Coca - Cola Route”, is distinguished by its cottage accommodations and is a popular choice for climbers aiming to reach the top of Kilimanjaro.
Providing a more comfortable option compared to camping, these simple cottages offer basic facilities and can be a welcoming sight after a day of challenging hiking.
Machame Route
The Machame Route, often referred to as the “Whiskey Route”, is famous for its splendid landscapes and challenging summit（顶峰） night that tests climbers’ determination and tolerance.
The night before the summit push is a laborious test, characterized by sharp, rocky landscape and freezing temperatures, where climbers rely on their mental strength and physical preparedness to overcome the final barriers to Uhuru Peak.
Lemosho Route
The Lemosho Route offers breathtaking scenic views and owns one of the highest summit success rates among the Kilimanjaro routes, making it a favourite among climbers.
What sets the Lemosho Route apart is its gradual climb profile, allowing climbers to accustom effectively and increase their chances of reaching the summit successfully.
Rongai Route
The Rongai Route provides a quiet hiking experience, allowing climbers to impress themselves with the untouched wilderness of Kilimanjaro’s northern side.
Adaptation becomes more manageable due to the route’s gentle ascent, allowing climbers to adjust to the increasing height comfortably. The unique advantage of this path is its relatively lower traffic, providing a peaceful experience in harmony with nature’s patterns.
21. What makes Marangu Route special
A. The accommodations. B. The free Coca-Cola.
C. The camping sight. D. The challenging hiking.
22. What is most required when you choose Machame Route
A. Climbing equipment. B. Help of whiskey.
C. Teamwork of climbers. D. Strong willpower.
23. What do the last two routes have in common
A. They have lower traffic. B. They offer vast wilderness.
C. They are easier to adapt to. D. They are planned for the old.
B
I was sitting in a chemistry lab class during my first year of university, nervous about the experiment we were to perform. I grabbed a pipette and, as I feared, my hand started to shake. The experience was disheartening. I was hoping to pursue a career in science, but I started to wonder whether that would be possible. I thought my dreams had crashed to the ground.
I was a boy born with brain damage. My family managed to find good doctors where we lived, in Leningrad （now St. Petersburg）, Russia, and I took part in clinical trials testing new treatments. Shortly after my first birthday, I started walking and it became clear that my intelligence function was unaffected. So, in some sense, I was lucky. Still, I couldn’t do some things growing up. Both hands shook, especially when I was nervous or embarrassed. My left hand was much worse than my right, so I learned to write and do simple tasks with my right hand, but it wasn’t easy to do anything precisely.
As a teenager, I faced a lot of bullying at school. Feeling alone, I joined a study group called “The natural world”. I thought that getting into the world of animals would keep me away from people. That’s how I came into the field of biology. At university, I enjoyed the lectures in my science classes. Many lab tasks proved impossible, however. As I struggled with my mood, I read a book about depression. From then on, the physiology of mental disorders became my scientific passion. I looked into what was being done locally and was excited to discover a lab that did behavioral experiments on rats to study depression.
At the end of my second year, I approached the professor of the lab to see whether I could work with her. I was afraid to admit I couldn’t do some lab tasks. To my relief, she was completely supportive. She set me to work performing behavioral experiments for others in the lab with the help of colleagues. I loved the supportive atmosphere and stayed there to complete my master’s and Ph. D.
I’ve come to realize that my hands aren’t the barrier I thought they were. By making use of my abilities and working as part of a team, I’ve been able to follow my passions. I’ve also realized that there’s much more to being a scientist than performing the physical labor. I may not collect all the data in my papers, but I’m fully capable of designing experiments and interpreting results, which, to me, is the most exciting part of science.
24. What was the author’s dream
A. To live a normal life. B. To become a scientist.
C. To get a master’s degree. D. To recover from depression.
25. Why did the author say he was lucky in Paragraph 2
A. Because he didn’t lose the function of both hands.
B. Because he learned how to walk at the age of one.
C. Because his family could afford to see good doctors.
D. Because his brain damage didn’t affect his intelligence.
26. What can you learn from the passage
A. The team in the lab urged him to further his study.
B. The author finally finished the lab tasks on his own.
C. The author’s experience inspired him to help others.
D. The author’s loneliness led him to the world of biology.
27. What message does the author want to express
A. Loving yourself makes a difference.
B. Opportunity follows prepared people.
C. A bright future begins with a small dream.
D. The sun somehow shines through the storm.
C
Faced with an attempt by a new chatbot to imitate his own songs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a strong response: it was “an absolutely horrible attempt”. He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only conclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque（滑稽的模仿）”, because robots - being composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering.
Fans of Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that doesn’t mean they would necessarily be able to tell the difference. A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons.
These are party games, but they point to an unfolding challenge that must be managed as a matter of urgency because, like it or not, AI art is upon us. The arrival of the human - impersonating ChatGPT might have increased general awareness, but artists across a wide range of disciplines are already exploring its potential, with the dancer Wayne McGregor and London’s Young Vic Theatre among those who have created AI - based works.
A strongly - worded report from Communications and Digital Committee （CDC） issued a wake - up call to the government, urging it to raise its game in educating future generations of tech - savvy professionals, and tackling key regulatory challenges. These included reviewing reforms to intellectual property（知识产权） law, strengthening the rights of performers and artists, and taking action to support the creative sector in adapting to the disturbances caused by swift and stormy technological change.
While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. It deplored the failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence against proposed changes to intellectual property law that would give copyright exemption（版权豁免） to any work, anywhere in the world, involving AI text and data mining.
The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short and long term. State - of - the - art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping and exploring the philosophical ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful. They need it now.
28. Why does the author mention the experts’ performance in Paragraph 2
A. To imply AI art cannot be underestimated.
B. To prove AI is stretching the boundaries of art.
C. To argue that human art will be replaced by AI art.
D. To stress the similarities between AI art and human art.
29. What does the underlined word “deplored” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Clearly analysed. B. Bravely suffered.
C. Strongly criticized. D. Accurately perceived.
30. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Some artists see AI as a tool even though it is a threat.
B. Creative industries are responsible for causing the AI problem.
C. Tech professionals need more training to better understand AI art.
D. The quality of AI art removes concerns about intellectual property.
31. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. AI in Art: A Battle That Must Be Fought
B. The Creative Thief: AI Makes Perfect Art
C. Threat or Opportunity: The Impact of AI on Art
D. The Rise of AI Art: What It Means to Human Artists
D
That dinosaurs ate the mammals that ran beneath their feet is not in doubt. Now an extraordinary fossil newly described in Scientific Reports, unearthed by a team led by Gang Han at Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology in China, shows that sometimes the tables were turned.
The fossil - dated to about 125 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period-was formed when a flow of boiling volcanic mud swallowed two animals seemingly locked in a life-and-death fight. The one on top is a mammal. The other animal is a herbivorous species closely related to the Triceratops（三角恐龙）. Animal interactions such as this are exceptionally rare in the fossil record.
One possibility is that the mammal was eating something already dead, rather than hunting live prey. These days it is uncommon for small mammals to attack much larger animals. But it is not unheard of. And Dr. Han and his colleagues point out that those mammals which eat dead bodies typically leave tooth marks all over the bones of the animals. The dinosaur’s remains show no such marks. There is also a chance the fossil could be a fake. More and more convincing fakes have emerged, as this one did — though Dr. Han and his colleagues argue that the complex and tangled nature of the skeletons（骨骼） makes that unlikely, too.
Assuming it is genuine, the discovery serves as a reminder that not all dinosaurs were enormous during the Cretaceous and not all mammals were tiny. From nose to tail, the dinosaur is just 1.2 meters long. The mammal is a bit under half a meter in length. Despite being half the size, the mammal has one pa w firmly wrapped around one of its prey’s limbs, and another pulling on its jaw. It is biting down on the dinosaur’s chest, and has ripped off two of its ribs. Before they were interrupted, it seems that the mammal was winning.
32. What does the author imply in Paragraph 1
A. The fittest survives. B. The hunters become hunted.
C. All dinosaurs ate mammals. D. The truth always comes to light.
33. Why does the author mention the “tooth mark” in Paragraph 3
A. To prove the fossil was fake.
B. To show the forming of the fossil.
C. To illustrate the process of hunting.
D. To suggest the dinosaur was hunted alive.
34. What makes Dr. Han think the fossil is genuine
A. The size of the fossil.
B. The absence of fake fossils.
C. The agreement of the opinions.
D. The complexity of the skeletons.
35. What is the function of the last paragraph
A. It offers a likely cause.
B. It highlights a solution.
C. It justifies the discovery.
D. It provides a new discovery.

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill - cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty - eight - foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built - in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
40 It must be true that sooner or later everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.
A. This time there was no tent.
B. Things are going to be improved.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than three feet tall.

When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith（银匠） in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’ s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

An Inspiring Person
When we think of inspiring people, Helen Keller is one of the first who come to mind. Her life story has touched millions, showing how one can overcome even the most difficult challenges.
Helen Keller lost both her sight and hearing as a young child. With the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, she learned to communicate and went on to become the first deaf - blind person to earn a college degree. She then dedicated her life to advocating for people with disabilities.
Helen’s story teaches us the power of resilience and compassion. Her determination encourages us to face challenges bravely and reminds us to help others achieve their potential.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize! Surprise and joy occupied my mind. Despite the obstacle and confusion on the road, the horse eventually reached his destination with determination. I immediately shared the news with my teacher, and his excitement was obvious: “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my sincerest thanks to my teacher, without whose encouragement I wouldn’t have come this far.
Paragraph 2:
I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said, “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” Inspired by his faith in me,I promised to work hard and produce meaningful pieces. Since then, I’ve written many works and am now a recognized writer. I owe my success to my teacher, who is a guiding light on my journey into the world of writing.

W: Where would you like to go for our vacation this year
M:I liked going to that small mountain village last year. It was fun going fishing on the lake.
W: Yes, but I don’t think it was much fun.

Text 10（美育－参观自然历史博物馆）
Good morning, everyone and welcome to the Natural History Museum. Before you take a look around, let me tell you what we have and where they are. Firstly, in the Entrance Hall here, you can see some beautiful paintings of flowers and leaves from different countries. Turn left and walk one minute, and you can see an exhibition of extinct animals, which contains most of native endangered animals. On the right, there is a small theatre, where you can watch a short film about the Earth millions of years ago. It lasts 30 minutes and it plays every hour on the hour. Don’t forget to take a look at it. Upstairs then, you can see a huge bookshelf. Many history books are on it. It is worth mentioning that all the books were donated. If you also have some history books that you don’t need anymore, donate them in your name! Next on the third floor, you can see a big shop. You can buy some gifts about this museum there. Additionally, we’ll close at 5:45p. m., so you’ve got lots of time to enjoy yourselves.
