This year, an unusual eight-day-long holiday will mark both the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. Here are the upcoming films designed to entertain audiences during the break.

The Volunteers: To the War, directed by Chen Kaige, boasts an all-star cast, shows the sacrifices made by China’s People’s Volunteer Army during the War to Resist U. S.

The film hits Chinese screens on Sept. 28.

I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
24. What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety
A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He escaped into a fantasy world.
C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He conducted an experiment.
25. What does the author mean by the underlined part in Paragraph 2
A. Reading novels was a waste of time.
B. He never read science fiction.
C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
26. How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author
A. More sympathy went out to him.
B. His moral values were enhanced.
C. He learned much about religious diversity.
D. He accquired a deeper understanding of academic issues.
27. What does the author think of the impact reading fiction books has on himself
A. Overestimated. B. Underestimated. C. Favourable. D. Temporary.
C
Lord Norman Foster, renowned as one of the world’s foremost architects, has devoted decades to redefining the concept of tall buildings. “What we’ve done is create a sense of identify drawn from real needs,” Foster said. “It’s not a fashionable idea, but generated from the realities we were in.” His masterpiece includes iconic structures such as the HSBC building in Hong Kong. Now, he’s set his sights on Qatar.
Currently nearing completion and set to reach a height of 301 meters, Foster’s Lusail Towers are ready to claim the title of Qatar’s tallest buildings. Lusail Towers are intended to serve as a center for Qatar’s financial institutions, with four distinctive blocks, two standing at 70 stories and two at 50 stories.
But the construction itself wasn’t all plain sailing. To address the unique challenges presented by Qatar’s hot climate, Foster’s team had to depart from the materials commonly used in skyscrapers in cooler countries-part of what Foster called a decades-long quest to “reinvent the tall building.” The design combines advanced shading with ventilation (通风) while the towers’surfaces are coated with “marine-grade” aluminum (铝) that wraps around the buildings, protecting the glass from strong sunlight while maintaining the views and still letting in natural light. Central to the project are special shading fins (鳍), which not only optimize views and natural lighting for occupants but reduce solar radiation by 70% compared to traditional all-glass towers.
While the towers are ready to become a recognizable landmark for Lusail, Foster believes that a city’s skyline reflects what lies beneath the surface. It was crucial to integrate the towers into a “low-scale master plan.” They are strategically positioned on top of a subway line and at the end of a commercial avenue linking the waterfront (滨水区) to the nearby football stadium. According to Foster, the ground features of the plaza will play a significant role in the objective of transforming the area into a lively public space for the future.
28. According to Foster’s concept, what should tall buildings be like
A. Renowned. B. Identical. C. Fashionable. D. Practical.
29. What can we learn about the Lusail Towers
A. They will function as a global financial center.
B. They are expected to be Qartar’s tallest building.
C. They are Foster’s most renowned iconic masterpiece.
D. They have four blocks with the same style and height.
30. What was the solution to the challenges caused by Qatar’s hot climate
A. Coating the tower with an unconventional material.
B. Reducing the views and natural lighting with shading fins.
C. Replacing the glass with “marine-grade” aluminum.
D. Protecting the glass from natural light and solar radiation.
31. What’s the goal of “low-scale master plan”
A. To link the waterfront to the football stadium.
B. To create a remarkable plaza for the citizens.
C. To offer a dynamic public space for the future.
D. To connect a subway and a commercial avenue.
D
A new study shows that female academics are significantly underrepresented in winning academic prizes and having awards named after them. Analysis of nearly 9,000 awardees and 346 scientific prizes and medals published in Nature Human Behaviour has found that men win eight prizes for every one won by a woman if the award is named after a man. These awards represent almost two-thirds of all scientific prizes. Female academics are, however, more likely to win awards that have been named after other notable female scientists, with 47% of those awards going to women and 53% to men.
Dr Katja Gehmlich, Associate Professor in the Institute of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study, said, “The gender gap between awardees in scientific prizes is sadly a product of a long, systematic issue of poor representation of women in sciences. Despite decades of efforts to rebalance this issue, our study shows that women are still poorly recognized for their scientific contributions, and men are far more likely to win prizes and awards, in particular, if those awards are named after other men.”
“It seems particularly shocking to me that awards named after women still see more than half of prizes going to men. We further propose a list of actions to address and overcome these issues but are aware this will be a long process. The Nominate Her movement is one way that the scientific community can begin to address this,” said Dr Gehmlich.
Prof Stefan Krause from the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study said, “Our data is indicative of much wider issues of gender inequality within sciences. Our current publication is an initial attempt to understand the causes of such striking gender inequality and to promote discussion on the subject within our scientific communities.”
“Research culture has a lot to do to improve the gender prize gap, as well as efforts to address the inequality that sees almost two-thirds of prizes currently named after men. More pathways may also be needed, such as renaming or getting rid of gender names associated with some awards,” added Prof Krause.
32. How are awards named after female scientists distributed between genders
A. Males are in the majority.
B. Females take up a bit more than half.
C. They are almost entirely awarded to females.
D. They are evenly distributed between males and females.
33. What’s Dr Gehmlich’s attitude toward gender inequality in scientific prizes
A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Uncaring. D. Disappointed.
34. What suggestion does Prof Krause offer to narrow the gender gap
A. Establishing gender rates for awards.
B. Increasing the number of female judges.
C. Encouraging more women to enter scientific fields.
D. Renaming or removing gender names from awards.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Achievements of women in science
B. The role of men in the scientific world
C. Gender inequality in scientific awards
D. Future of gender equality in academia
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Professor Zhu Yunxia, an award-winning researcher and educator at the University of Queensland and has an international reputation in cross-cultural management and strategy, believes that anyone can learn to overcome cultural barriers with the right approach. She offers the following suggestions.
Be prepared for surprises.
One country might contain different cultures—China, for example, is composed of 56 ethnic groups—and within these, people may act in different ways in different contexts and with different groups of people. 36
37
While speaking the language is not necessary to understand the culture, it is important to know basic greetings and courtesies (客气话) for social interaction such as“hello” and “thank you”. These everyday phrases and rituals (礼节) are entry points which allow you to access the culture. People will also appreciate that you have made the effort.
Learn to “make strange”.
In day-to-day life we tend to take many of our own customs and behaviors for granted without recognizing that these might appear odd from others’point of view. 38
Use a “cultural bridge”.
The customs of another culture can be too strange or too foreign to understand. 39 “Cultural bridges” are people whose knowledge enriches our own and who can help us understand what’s going on. Having arrived as a Chinese student, Dr. Zhu has spent over 20 years in Australia but still sometimes seeks a second opinion from her daughter who was brought up here and occasionally calls up old friends for advice in China.
Don’t focus on yourself.
40 Instead of giving in to thoughts such as “I’m a stranger in a foreign land” or “Nobody talks to me”, try to forget yourself and focus on others. By taking a more positive approach, you can even find ways to use cultural differences to your advantage.
A. Learn the “cultural grammar”.
B. Consequently, wait for the unexpected.
C. Develop and expand cooperative awareness.
D. Sometimes an “insider” can help us to bridge the gap.
E. Be open-minded and always try to aim for a win-win situation.
F. Being too self-conscious can harm your ability to interact and learn.
G. Learn to look at situations with fresh eyes, starting with our own culture.

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。
In my childhood, under the influence of my elder brother and my peers in the neighborhood, I tried a number of outdoor activities. Of course, I was not so taken by all of them, whether I was doing them for the first time or continuously. However, fate had its own plans in store. You never know when an outdoor activity will change my life.
The name of this activity is “fishing”. About ten years ago, I didn’t really like the idea of sitting on the bank of a lake or river, spending long hours under the sun’s ultraviolet rays, which can cause sunburns and skin damage, and anxiously anticipating some fish to be kind to take my bait (诱饵). In fact, I used to think of this outdoor activity as some kind of “hide-and-seek-game” that is popular with most young kids, except that it was much harder because I could see my “prey (猎物)” only after catching it.
However, all that changed when I paid a visit to my aunt in the countryside during a summer holiday. I was finally convinced by one of my cousins to accompany him to a nearby lake in order to do some fishing practice with him. In fact, he even assured me that fish would eat my baits. So I agreed and went to the lake expecting to catch some fish. Before throwing my fishing line into the water, my cousin did some tricks attaching some sort of food to my fishing pole.
Learning to fish in a river or lake can be challenging for the beginners like me. The act of dropping a line is easy, but being a successful fisher is hard. That’s why they call it fishing but not catching. But with practice and patience, it can become easier over time. Patience is essential in lake fishing. It may take some time to find the right spot or lure (鱼饵) that will attract fish.
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。
My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient. _____________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish! _______________________________________________

(Text10) (第18题为总结题)
We all like to hear of new inventions that will make our lives easier or healthier. However, many great inventions have come about by accident. Perhaps the greatest example of this is penicillin (青霉素), a drug which has saved millions of lives. British scientist Sir Alexander Fleming was searching for a “wonder drug” that could cure diseases. However, it wasn’t until he threw away his experiments that he found what he was looking for. He noticed that a dish he had rejected contained something that could kill certain bacteria (细菌). He turned the substance into penicillin. On a lighter note, chocolate chip cookies were also a happy accident. Cook Ruth Wakefield was trying to make regular chocolate biscuits but ran out of baker’s chocolate. (19) As an alternative, she broke sweetened chocolate into small pieces and added them to the mixture, thinking they would melt. They didn’t, but they made delicious biscuits. Potato crisps were also an accident. Chef George Crum made a plate of fried potatoes for a customer, who sent them back many times, asking for them to be more fried and thinner. Crum lost his temper, sliced the potatoes very thin, and fried them for a long time. (20) To the chef’s surprise, the customer loved them and wanted more.

28. D 细节理解题。根据第一段中““What we’ve done is create a sense of identify drawn from real needs,” Foster said. “It’s not a fashionable idea, but generated from the realities we were in.”(“我们所做的是创造一种从实
际需求中汲取的认同感，”福斯特说。“这不是一个时髦的想法，而是从我们所处的现实中产生的”。)”可知，他强调的是建筑的实用性，而非主流时尚，故选D项。
29. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Currently nearing completion and set to reach a height of 301 meters, Foster’s Lusail Towers are ready to claim the title of Qatar’s tallest buildings. (福斯特的卢塞尔塔目前已接近完工，将达到301米的高度，已准备好获得卡塔尔最高建筑的称号。)”可知，卢塞尔塔有望成为卡塔尔最高的建筑，故选B项。
30. A 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The design combines advanced shading with ventilation (通风), while the towers’ surfaces are coated with “marine-grade” aluminum (铝) that wraps around the buildings, protecting the glass from strong sunlight while maintaining the views and still letting in natural light. (该设计将先进的遮阳与通风相结合，而塔楼的表面则涂有“海洋级”铝，包裹在建筑物周围，保护玻璃免受强烈阳光照射，同时保持视野并仍然让自然光进入。)”可知，塔楼表面则涂有“海洋级”铝是应对卡塔尔炎热气候的办法，故选A项。
31. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“According to Foster, the ground features of the plaza will play a significant role in the objective of transforming the area into a lively public space for the future. (根据福斯特的说法，广场的地面特征将在将该地区转变为未来充满活力的公共空间的目标中发挥重要作用。)”可知，小规模总体规划的目标是为未来提供一个充满活力的公共空间，故选C项。
32. A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Female academics are, however, more likely to win awards that have been named after other notable female scientists, with 47% of those awards going to women and 53% to men. (然而，女性学者更有可能获得以其他著名女科学家命名的奖项，其中47%的奖项授予了女性，53%的奖项授予了男性。)”可知，以女性科学家命名的奖项男性获得者占多数。故选A。
33. D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段Dr Katja Gehmlich, Associate Professor… if those awards are named after them. (伯明翰大学心血管科学研究所副教授、该研究的联合主要作者Katja Gehmlich博士说：“令人遗憾的是，科学奖项获奖者之间的性别差距是女性在科学领域代表性不足这一长期系统性问题的产物。尽管几十年来一直在努力重新平衡这一问题，但我们的研究表明，女性在科学上的贡献仍然得不到认可，而男性获奖的可能性要大得多，特别是如果这些奖项是以其他男性的名字命名的。)”可知，学术奖项中的性别不平等是一个长期存在的系统性问题，由此可推知，她对该现象感到失望。故选D。
34. D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““Research culture has a lot to do to improve the gender prize gap, as well as efforts to address the inequality that sees almost two-thirds of prizes currently named after men. More pathways may also be needed, such as renaming or getting rid of gender names associated with some awards,” added Prof Krause. (“研究文化在改善性别奖项差距方面还有很多工作要做，同时也要努力解决目前近三分之二的奖项以男性命名的不平等问题。可能还需要更多的途径，比如重命名或取消与某些奖项相关的性别名称，”克劳斯教授补充道。)”可知，克劳斯教授对缩小性别差距提出的建议是从奖项中重命名或删除性别名称。故选D。
35. C 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A new study shows that female academics are significantly underrepresented in winning academic prizes and having awards named after them. (一项新的研究表明，在获得学术奖项和以她们的名字命名的奖项方面，女性学者的比例明显不足。)”可知，文章主要讲述了科学奖项中的性别不平等。故选C。

One possible version:
My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient. He taught me how to adjust my pole based on the movements of the fish and how to determine the best time to lift the pole when a fish was on the hook. Under his guidance, I calmed down gradually, staying focused to wait patiently. Then suddenly, I felt a jerk of my pole. A surge of thrill sweeping over me, I pulled the fishing pole out of water and I caught my first fish! So excited was I that I even gave a jump in the air. It was a small one, but it was a milestone for me!
When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish! Thrilled and fulfilled, I skipped all the way home with my cousin, telling him it was a pity that I had been missing out on so much by avoiding this simple outdoor activity before. Since then, I have become a passionate fisherman and love spending time outdoors, appreciating the simple pleasure of life. Fishing has taught me to be patient and persistent and most importantly, it has also taught me a lesson that we should not miss out on these opportunities just because they are simple or just we do not know how to do them well.

I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.
24. What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety
A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He escaped into a fantasy world.
C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He conducted an experiment.
25. What does the author mean by the underlined part in Paragraph 2
A. Reading novels was a waste of time.
B. He never read science fiction.
C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
26. How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author
A. More sympathy went out to him.
B. His moral values were enhanced.
C. He learned much about religious diversity.
D. He accquired a deeper understanding of academic issues.
27. What does the author think of the impact reading fiction books has on himself
A. Overestimated. B. Underestimated. C. Favourable. D. Temporary.
C
Lord Norman Foster, renowned as one of the world’s foremost architects, has devoted decades to redefining the concept of tall buildings. “What we’ve done is create a sense of identify drawn from real needs,” Foster said. “It’s not a fashionable idea, but generated from the realities we were in.” His masterpiece includes iconic structures such as the HSBC building in Hong Kong. Now, he’s set his sights on Qatar.
Currently nearing completion and set to reach a height of 301 meters, Foster’s Lusail Towers are ready to claim the title of Qatar’s tallest buildings. Lusail Towers are intended to serve as a center for Qatar’s financial institutions, with four distinctive blocks, two standing at 70 stories and two at 50 stories.
But the construction itself wasn’t all plain sailing. To address the unique challenges presented by Qatar’s hot climate, Foster’s team had to depart from the materials commonly used in skyscrapers in cooler countries-part of what Foster called a decades-long quest to “reinvent the tall building.” The design combines advanced shading with ventilation (通风) while the towers’surfaces are coated with “marine-grade” aluminum (铝) that wraps around the buildings, protecting the glass from strong sunlight while maintaining the views and still letting in natural light. Central to the project are special shading fins (鳍), which not only optimize views and natural lighting for occupants but reduce solar radiation by 70% compared to traditional all-glass towers.
While the towers are ready to become a recognizable landmark for Lusail, Foster believes that a city’s skyline reflects what lies beneath the surface. It was crucial to integrate the towers into a “low-scale master plan.” They are strategically positioned on top of a subway line and at the end of a commercial avenue linking the waterfront (滨水区) to the nearby football stadium. According to Foster, the ground features of the plaza will play a significant role in the objective of transforming the area into a lively public space for the future.
28. According to Foster’s concept, what should tall buildings be like
A. Renowned. B. Identical. C. Fashionable. D. Practical.
29. What can we learn about the Lusail Towers
A. They will function as a global financial center.
B. They are expected to be Qartar’s tallest building.
C. They are Foster’s most renowned iconic masterpiece.
D. They have four blocks with the same style and height.
30. What was the solution to the challenges caused by Qatar’s hot climate
A. Coating the tower with an unconventional material.
B. Reducing the views and natural lighting with shading fins.
C. Replacing the glass with “marine-grade” aluminum.
D. Protecting the glass from natural light and solar radiation.
31. What’s the goal of “low-scale master plan”
A. To link the waterfront to the football stadium.
B. To create a remarkable plaza for the citizens.
C. To offer a dynamic public space for the future.
D. To connect a subway and a commercial avenue.
D
A new study shows that female academics are significantly underrepresented in winning academic prizes and having awards named after them. Analysis of nearly 9,000 awardees and 346 scientific prizes and medals published in Nature Human Behaviour has found that men win eight prizes for every one won by a woman if the award is named after a man. These awards represent almost two-thirds of all scientific prizes. Female academics are, however, more likely to win awards that have been named after other notable female scientists, with 47% of those awards going to women and 53% to men.
Dr Katja Gehmlich, Associate Professor in the Institute of Cardiovascular Science at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study, said, “The gender gap between awardees in scientific prizes is sadly a product of a long, systematic issue of poor representation of women in sciences. Despite decades of efforts to rebalance this issue, our study shows that women are still poorly recognized for their scientific contributions, and men are far more likely to win prizes and awards, in particular, if those awards are named after other men.”
“It seems particularly shocking to me that awards named after women still see more than half of prizes going to men. We further propose a list of actions to address and overcome these issues but are aware this will be a long process. The Nominate Her movement is one way that the scientific community can begin to address this,” said Dr Gehmlich.
Prof Stefan Krause from the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Birmingham and joint lead author of the study said, “Our data is indicative of much wider issues of gender inequality within sciences. Our current publication is an initial attempt to understand the causes of such striking gender inequality and to promote discussion on the subject within our scientific communities.”
“Research culture has a lot to do to improve the gender prize gap, as well as efforts to address the inequality that sees almost two-thirds of prizes currently named after men. More pathways may also be needed, such as renaming or getting rid of gender names associated with some awards,” added Prof Krause.
32. How are awards named after female scientists distributed between genders
A. Males are in the majority.
B. Females take up a bit more than half.
C. They are almost entirely awarded to females.
D. They are evenly distributed between males and females.
33. What’s Dr Gehmlich’s attitude toward gender inequality in scientific prizes
A. Doubtful. B. Tolerant. C. Uncaring. D. Disappointed.
34. What suggestion does Prof Krause offer to narrow the gender gap
A. Establishing gender rates for awards.
B. Increasing the number of female judges.
C. Encouraging more women to enter scientific fields.
D. Renaming or removing gender names from awards.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Achievements of women in science
B. The role of men in the scientific world
C. Gender inequality in scientific awards
D. Future of gender equality in academia

While speaking the language is not necessary to understand the culture, it is important to know basic greetings and courtesies (客气话) for social interaction such as“hello” and “thank you”. These everyday phrases and rituals (礼节) are entry points which allow you to access the culture. People will also appreciate that you have made the effort.
Learn to “make strange”.
In day-to-day life we tend to take many of our own customs and behaviors for granted without recognizing that these might appear odd from others’point of view. 38
Use a “cultural bridge”.
The customs of another culture can be too strange or too foreign to understand. 39 “Cultural bridges” are people whose knowledge enriches our own and who can help us understand what’s going on. Having arrived as a Chinese student, Dr. Zhu has spent over 20 years in Australia but still sometimes seeks a second opinion from her daughter who was brought up here and occasionally calls up old friends for advice in China.
Don’t focus on yourself.
40 Instead of giving in to thoughts such as “I’m a stranger in a foreign land” or “Nobody talks to me”, try to forget yourself and focus on others. By taking a more positive approach, you can even find ways to use cultural differences to your advantage.
A. Learn the “cultural grammar”.
B. Consequently, wait for the unexpected.
C. Develop and expand cooperative awareness.
D. Sometimes an “insider” can help us to bridge the gap.
E. Be open-minded and always try to aim for a win-win situation.
F. Being too self-conscious can harm your ability to interact and learn.
G. Learn to look at situations with fresh eyes, starting with our own culture.

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。
In my childhood, under the influence of my elder brother and my peers in the neighborhood, I tried a number of outdoor activities. Of course, I was not so taken by all of them, whether I was doing them for the first time or continuously. However, fate had its own plans in store. You never know when an outdoor activity will change my life.
The name of this activity is “fishing”. About ten years ago, I didn’t really like the idea of sitting on the bank of a lake or river, spending long hours under the sun’s ultraviolet rays, which can cause sunburns and skin damage, and anxiously anticipating some fish to be kind to take my bait (诱饵). In fact, I used to think of this outdoor activity as some kind of “hide-and-seek-game” that is popular with most young kids, except that it was much harder because I could see my “prey (猎物)” only after catching it.
However, all that changed when I paid a visit to my aunt in the countryside during a summer holiday. I was finally convinced by one of my cousins to accompany him to a nearby lake in order to do some fishing practice with him. In fact, he even assured me that fish would eat my baits. So I agreed and went to the lake expecting to catch some fish. Before throwing my fishing line into the water, my cousin did some tricks attaching some sort of food to my fishing pole.
Learning to fish in a river or lake can be challenging for the beginners like me. The act of dropping a line is easy, but being a successful fisher is hard. That’s why they call it fishing but not catching. But with practice and patience, it can become easier over time. Patience is essential in lake fishing. It may take some time to find the right spot or lure (鱼饵) that will attract fish.

(Text10) (第18题为总结题)
We all like to hear of new inventions that will make our lives easier or healthier. However, many great inventions have come about by accident. Perhaps the greatest example of this is penicillin (青霉素), a drug which has saved millions of lives. British scientist Sir Alexander Fleming was searching for a “wonder drug” that could cure diseases. However, it wasn’t until he threw away his experiments that he found what he was looking for. He noticed that a dish he had rejected contained something that could kill certain bacteria (细菌). He turned the substance into penicillin. On a lighter note, chocolate chip cookies were also a happy accident. Cook Ruth Wakefield was trying to make regular chocolate biscuits but ran out of baker’s chocolate. (19) As an alternative, she broke sweetened chocolate into small pieces and added them to the mixture, thinking they would melt. They didn’t, but they made delicious biscuits. Potato crisps were also an accident. Chef George Crum made a plate of fried potatoes for a customer, who sent them back many times, asking for them to be more fried and thinner. Crum lost his temper, sliced the potatoes very thin, and fried them for a long time. (20) To the chef’s surprise, the customer loved them and wanted more.

One possible version:
My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient. He taught me how to adjust my pole based on the movements of the fish and how to determine the best time to lift the pole when a fish was on the hook. Under his guidance, I calmed down gradually, staying focused to wait patiently. Then suddenly, I felt a jerk of my pole. A surge of thrill sweeping over me, I pulled the fishing pole out of water and I caught my first fish! So excited was I that I even gave a jump in the air. It was a small one, but it was a milestone for me!
When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish! Thrilled and fulfilled, I skipped all the way home with my cousin, telling him it was a pity that I had been missing out on so much by avoiding this simple outdoor activity before. Since then, I have become a passionate fisherman and love spending time outdoors, appreciating the simple pleasure of life. Fishing has taught me to be patient and persistent and most importantly, it has also taught me a lesson that we should not miss out on these opportunities just because they are simple or just we do not know how to do them well.
