I was eleven years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in the economic crisis. She said a polite “no”.
That didn’t stop me. I searched the measurements of a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one — keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me ten lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my Grade One after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn’t afford lessons again. I passed Grade Three, and then Grade Five, practicing only on my piece of paper.
One evening, when I was about thirteen, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in astonishment.
My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. But I had to pass a difficult test. To my amazement, I was offered a place. At the Purcell School, I spent two years working as hard as I could, performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano. When I left the Purcell School, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School in London. I feel proud — it’s been ten years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools.
The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano — what we call mental practice. The paper piano helped arouse my curiosity about how music works and the building blocks that form the pieces, being a reminder of how I held on to what I love — piano.
4．Why did the author’s mom buy him lessons at last
A．She suddenly made a fortune.
B．She saw his performance on a real piano.

C．He was awarded the senior piano prize at the Purcell School.
D．His mom earned enough money to buy an electronic keyboard for him.
6．Which of the following can best describe the author
A．Determined. B．Honest. C．Humorous. D．Generous.
7．What’s the author’s main purpose of writing this article
A．To introduce the method of mental practice.
B．To encourage people to stick to their dreams.
C．To describe how costly it is to learn an instrument.
D．To share how he convinced his mom to buy a piano.
C
Virtual reality (VR) is quickly becoming the new technological frontier. However, a set of challenges and hurdles need to be overcome, including things like low latency, the high refresh rate, high resolution and a wide field of view.
Now that we can actually build VR headsets that begin to meet these requirements, we are seeing a rising interest in VR. As it rises, so does the interest in creating new media to be experienced by using VR. Journalism is a medium built on relevance. Journalists should always be finding new ways to tell stories and deliver content. VR is a goldmine for storytelling. What better way to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it
By using VR, the consumer isn’t just reading or watching something played out; they’re experiencing it. The super-realistic effect of VR allows people to connect them with the subject matter on a much deeper level than just reading about it. Any storyteller wanting to do something more interesting than their peers should surely be considering the power of VR.
The question of VR, though, is not how powerful it is. It is apparent that the question of VR is its availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tools to tell a story with VR aren’t easy to pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR isn’t both top-of-the-line and affordable, VR will fail.
Accessibility is one concern for Thomas Hallaq. However, he thinks VR is still very promising. Hallaq said, “We’re seeing more technology becoming accessible, and more people having access to that technology. Just look at smartphones.” If the technology is widely available and companies can overcome the hurdles, VR will succeed in being a desirable means of storytelling. Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, VR will change the way we tell stories.
8．Why is VR considered a power tool for journalism
A．It entertains the consumers.
B．It delivers content very fast.
C．It is equipped with improved headsets.
D．It gets people’s senses fully involved.
9．What is the biggest challenge for VR as a journalism tool
A．Easy access. B．New resources.
C．Public acceptance. D．Technical barriers.
10．What does the underlined expression “top-of-the-line” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．The longest in history. B．The highest in price.
C．The best in quality. D．The largest in quantity.
11．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Approaches to employing VR.
B．VR: the future of storytelling.
C．Secrets of the increasing popularity of VR.
D．Storytelling ability: the quality of journalists.
D
Widespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals’ survival chances in the wild, new research suggests.
Franck Courchamp of the University of Paris-Sud was interested in the idea of “appeal” in animals. He wanted to know: What species do people consider appealing And what are the influences of being appealing on populations in the wild
In a research published this month, Courchamp and other researchers list the top twenty appealing species. Most of the animals identified as appealing are large mammals living on ing in first place were tigers, followed by lions, elephants, giraffes, panthers, pandas, cheetahs, polar bears, wolves, and gorillas. However, at least half of the interviewees didn’t realize that five of the top ten most appealing species are threatened. It is contradictory that we haven’t been able to protect the species we care about the most.
The study also found that we are flooded with images of these creatures, even as they are becoming fewer in the wild. The study suggests that too much of imagination might be creating a “virtual population” of the animals in people’s minds, making them believe there are far more individuals in the wild than is exact.
The study suggests that companies benefiting from the use of these images should set aside a small percentage of their profits for protection efforts and informational campaigns. “That would be not only something fair, but that would be something that could bring a win-win situation for them,” Courchamp says. “It could bring them positive public relation, for instance. Besides, if a company’s mascot (吉祥物) goes extinct, that could hurt them from a marketing point. But not enough companies are “truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on,” he adds.
12．What is the influence of the widespread images of animals in pop culture
A．It raises people’s wildlife protection awareness.
B．It does good to the survival of appealing animals.
C．It makes a false impression of the animals’ real situation.
D．It brings a win-win situation for both animals and companies.
13．What can we learn from paragraph 3
A．It is natural to regard the large mammals as attractive.
B．More than half of the top ten appealing species are protected.
C．It is strange that people’s thoughts contrast with their behavior.
D．It is terrible that the species are dying out at an alarming speed.
14．How does Courchamp list the companies’ responsibilities and advantages in the last paragraph
A．By giving examples. B．By using numbers.
C．By making definitions. D．By making comparisons.
15．What’s Courchamp’s attitude to the companies benefiting from animal images
A．Unconcerned. B．Positive.
C．Supportive. D．Dissatisfied.

If you wrestle with insomnia (失眠), you probably have been tempted to try anything that promises better sleep. One thing that might sound a little strange but that has been known to work: adding a weighted blanket to those bedcovers. 16 Alanna McGinn, founder and lead sleep expert at Good Night Sleep Site, says, “I’m an advocate of them because they can work so well.”
About 32% of Americans don’t get enough sleep, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US. 17 But as many as 35% of adults have trouble sleeping from time to time, and 10% regularly have trouble falling and staying asleep.
Just as swaddling (用襁褓裹住) babies can send them to sleep, using a weighted blanket helps your heart and breathing slow and your body release feel-good hormones. The weight — usually between 5 and 30 pounds, which sounds like a lot but is spread out over the entire bed—comes usually from plastic or glass beads (珠子) surrounded by filling. 18
A 2020 review looked at eight studies and concluded that weighted blankets helped reduce anxiety but not necessarily insomnia. 19 A randomized controlled study in Sweden in 2020 looked at 120 people with insomnia and also depression, anxiety or other metal disorders. Those who used a weighted blanket reported that they had better sleep and were less tired, anxious and depressed during the day.
20 “If you’re someone with circulatory conditions such as diabetes or breathing issues, you should check with your doctor before using a weighted blanket,” adds McGinn.
A．No two blankets are the same.
B．Other researches tell a slightly different story.
C．Weighted blankets have become a sleep tool to have.
D．However, weighted blankets may not be effective for all individuals.
E．There are multiple weight options to meet individual comfort needs.
F．The heaviness imitates a touch therapy called deep pressure stimulation.
G．Experts there recommend at least seven hours of shut-eye per night for adults.

My mother changed my life. She had her own way of 21 children. If we complained about not having what another kid did, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting it.” We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house.
It was a summer day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the 22 winked at me and I knew I had to 23 it. “It’s beautiful. Mom, can I please get it I’ll do 24 chores for as long as you say.

Please, Mom.” I was 25 . “You know,” she said, “if you save up, you could buy this yourself.” “By the time I make enough, it’ll be 26 !” “Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger, the bike guy. “He can’t hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it.” “There might be another 27 ,” she said.
And so our paying plan 28 . My mother bought the beautiful basket and 29 it safely in some place I couldn’t find. Each week I 30 counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there. And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d 31 .
Days later, the 32 happened. A neighborhood girl I’d played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this 33 . This horrible turn of events! And then came the 34 I’ve taken with me through my life. “Honey, your basket is different,” Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. “Your basket is 35 because you paid for it yourself.”

第二节（满分25分）
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。
On my first summer vacation as a junior high school student, I climbed my first mountain — a fairly gentle 3,900-foot peak near where I live in Surrey, British Columbia. I was overweight at the time and out of breath when I reached the summit. But I loved the challenge of conquering something bigger than myself. Soon I climbed nearly 100 peaks. My parents were happy I’d finally found a hobby. I often went climbing with my friend Mel Olsen, whom I’d met in a Facebook group.
Last December, I, together with Mel, came to Oregon to tackle 11,240-foot Mount Hood. It’s safer to start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snowpack. That day we started at 3 am, following the paths alongside the ski runs. The temperature was about 14°F, and we wore layers we could easily remove, knowing the sports would make us warm. Along the way, we met two other climbers, and the four of us continued on together.
After about five hours, we reached Devil’s Kitchen, a plateau (高原) at about 10,000 feet. By this point, the wind was howling. My exposed skin felt as though it were burning. The other climbers decided to turn back, but Mel and I went ahead. We had ice axes, helmets, and crampons (攀登钉鞋). We were in high spirits and prepared for the climb.
The trail we followed grew narrower and steeper. At around 9 am, we reached a flight of ice step. It was about three or four feet tall and sloped (倾斜) at a 75-degree angle. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step. Confident I was safe, I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a crack, and a whole slab（块）of ice broke off the step, right under my foot.
In an instant, I fell backward before I made any response. I could hear Mel calling my name in a trembling voice as I tumbled down, bouncing off the rock face, and rolling down the mountain as if I were a character in a video game. I remember thinking: This is it. You’re done.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stuck out my arms and legs hopelessly, grabbing at anything.

As Mel made her way down, I yelled for help, and other climbers came to my rescue.

20．根据下文“If you’re someone with circulatory conditions such as diabetes or breathing issues, you should check with your doctor before using a weighted blanket,” adds McGinn.”（“如果你有循环系统疾病，如糖尿病或呼吸问题，你应该在使用加重毯子之前咨询你的医生。”）可知，然而，加重毛毯可能不是对所有人都有效。故D选项“加重毛毯可能不是对所有人都有效”切题。故选D项。

47．参考范文：
I stuck out my arms and legs hopelessly, grabbing at anything. I was overwhelmed with fear and regret. If only I had been more careful! I forced myself to calm down, pressing myself against the slope to slow down. Fortunately, a few minutes later, I came to a stop on a shallow incline. My clothes were shredded, my helmet was broken, and my face was bloodied from cuts and scratches. I made an attempt to stand up but in vain. Unable to move an inch further, I lay on the ice shivering and in pain, waiting for rescue.
As Mel made her way down, I yelled for help, and other climbers came to my rescue. With them rushing toward me, I sighed with relief and tears of excitement blurred my eyes. They made great efforts to relieve me of the suffering. Some offered to splint my leg and some called Portland Mountain Rescue while Mel stayed by my side, hugging me tightly to keep me warmer and less painful. So experienced and comforting were they that I was no longer as frightened as before. Eventually, I was sent to the hospital. I stayed for a long time. However, on my recovery, with greater caution and better preparations I returned on the trails. One slip on a mountain can change everything but never stops me from doing my favorite thing in the world.

I was eleven years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in the economic crisis. She said a polite “no”.
That didn’t stop me. I searched the measurements of a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one — keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me ten lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my Grade One after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn’t afford lessons again. I passed Grade Three, and then Grade Five, practicing only on my piece of paper.
One evening, when I was about thirteen, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in astonishment.
My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. But I had to pass a difficult test. To my amazement, I was offered a place. At the Purcell School, I spent two years working as hard as I could, performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano. When I left the Purcell School, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School in London. I feel proud — it’s been ten years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools.
The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano — what we call mental practice. The paper piano helped arouse my curiosity about how music works and the building blocks that form the pieces, being a reminder of how I held on to what I love — piano.
4．Why did the author’s mom buy him lessons at last

7．What’s the author’s main purpose of writing this article
A．To introduce the method of mental practice.

Virtual reality (VR) is quickly becoming the new technological frontier. However, a set of challenges and hurdles need to be overcome, including things like low latency, the high refresh rate, high resolution and a wide field of view.
Now that we can actually build VR headsets that begin to meet these requirements, we are seeing a rising interest in VR. As it rises, so does the interest in creating new media to be experienced by using VR. Journalism is a medium built on relevance. Journalists should always be finding new ways to tell stories and deliver content. VR is a goldmine for storytelling. What better way to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it
By using VR, the consumer isn’t just reading or watching something played out; they’re experiencing it. The super-realistic effect of VR allows people to connect them with the subject matter on a much deeper level than just reading about it. Any storyteller wanting to do something more interesting than their peers should surely be considering the power of VR.
The question of VR, though, is not how powerful it is. It is apparent that the question of VR is its availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tools to tell a story with VR aren’t easy to pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR isn’t both top-of-the-line and affordable, VR will fail.
Accessibility is one concern for Thomas Hallaq. However, he thinks VR is still very promising. Hallaq said, “We’re seeing more technology becoming accessible, and more people having access to that technology. Just look at smartphones.” If the technology is widely available and companies can overcome the hurdles, VR will succeed in being a desirable means of storytelling. Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, VR will change the way we tell stories.
8．Why is VR considered a power tool for journalism
A．It entertains the consumers.
B．It delivers content very fast.
C．It is equipped with improved headsets.
D．It gets people’s senses fully involved.
9．What is the biggest challenge for VR as a journalism tool
A．Easy access. B．New resources.
C．Public acceptance. D．Technical barriers.
10．What does the underlined expression “top-of-the-line” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．The longest in history. B．The highest in price.
C．The best in quality. D．The largest in quantity.
11．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Approaches to employing VR.
B．VR: the future of storytelling.
C．Secrets of the increasing popularity of VR.
D．Storytelling ability: the quality of journalists.

Widespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals’ survival chances in the wild, new research suggests.
Franck Courchamp of the University of Paris-Sud was interested in the idea of “appeal” in animals. He wanted to know: What species do people consider appealing And what are the influences of being appealing on populations in the wild
In a research published this month, Courchamp and other researchers list the top twenty appealing species. Most of the animals identified as appealing are large mammals living on ing in first place were tigers, followed by lions, elephants, giraffes, panthers, pandas, cheetahs, polar bears, wolves, and gorillas. However, at least half of the interviewees didn’t realize that five of the top ten most appealing species are threatened. It is contradictory that we haven’t been able to protect the species we care about the most.
The study also found that we are flooded with images of these creatures, even as they are becoming fewer in the wild. The study suggests that too much of imagination might be creating a “virtual population” of the animals in people’s minds, making them believe there are far more individuals in the wild than is exact.
The study suggests that companies benefiting from the use of these images should set aside a small percentage of their profits for protection efforts and informational campaigns. “That would be not only something fair, but that would be something that could bring a win-win situation for them,” Courchamp says. “It could bring them positive public relation, for instance. Besides, if a company’s mascot (吉祥物) goes extinct, that could hurt them from a marketing point. But not enough companies are “truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on,” he adds.
12．What is the influence of the widespread images of animals in pop culture
A．It raises people’s wildlife protection awareness.
B．It does good to the survival of appealing animals.
C．It makes a false impression of the animals’ real situation.
D．It brings a win-win situation for both animals and companies.
13．What can we learn from paragraph 3
A．It is natural to regard the large mammals as attractive.
B．More than half of the top ten appealing species are protected.
C．It is strange that people’s thoughts contrast with their behavior.
D．It is terrible that the species are dying out at an alarming speed.
14．How does Courchamp list the companies’ responsibilities and advantages in the last paragraph
A．By giving examples. B．By using numbers.
C．By making definitions. D．By making comparisons.
15．What’s Courchamp’s attitude to the companies benefiting from animal images
A．Unconcerned. B．Positive.
C．Supportive. D．Dissatisfied.

If you wrestle with insomnia (失眠), you probably have been tempted to try anything that promises better sleep. One thing that might sound a little strange but that has been known to work: adding a weighted blanket to those bedcovers. 16 Alanna McGinn, founder and lead sleep expert at Good Night Sleep Site, says, “I’m an advocate of them because they can work so well.”
About 32% of Americans don’t get enough sleep, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US. 17 But as many as 35% of adults have trouble sleeping from time to time, and 10% regularly have trouble falling and staying asleep.
Just as swaddling (用襁褓裹住) babies can send them to sleep, using a weighted blanket helps your heart and breathing slow and your body release feel-good hormones. The weight — usually between 5 and 30 pounds, which sounds like a lot but is spread out over the entire bed—comes usually from plastic or glass beads (珠子) surrounded by filling. 18
A 2020 review looked at eight studies and concluded that weighted blankets helped reduce anxiety but not necessarily insomnia. 19 A randomized controlled study in Sweden in 2020 looked at 120 people with insomnia and also depression, anxiety or other metal disorders. Those who used a weighted blanket reported that they had better sleep and were less tired, anxious and depressed during the day.
20 “If you’re someone with circulatory conditions such as diabetes or breathing issues, you should check with your doctor before using a weighted blanket,” adds McGinn.
A．No two blankets are the same.
B．Other researches tell a slightly different story.
C．Weighted blankets have become a sleep tool to have.
D．However, weighted blankets may not be effective for all individuals.
E．There are multiple weight options to meet individual comfort needs.
F．The heaviness imitates a touch therapy called deep pressure stimulation.
G．Experts there recommend at least seven hours of shut-eye per night for adults.

I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this 33 . This horrible turn of events!

第二节（满分25分）
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。
On my first summer vacation as a junior high school student, I climbed my first mountain — a fairly gentle 3,900-foot peak near where I live in Surrey, British Columbia. I was overweight at the time and out of breath when I reached the summit. But I loved the challenge of conquering something bigger than myself. Soon I climbed nearly 100 peaks. My parents were happy I’d finally found a hobby. I often went climbing with my friend Mel Olsen, whom I’d met in a Facebook group.
Last December, I, together with Mel, came to Oregon to tackle 11,240-foot Mount Hood. It’s safer to start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snowpack. That day we started at 3 am, following the paths alongside the ski runs. The temperature was about 14°F, and we wore layers we could easily remove, knowing the sports would make us warm. Along the way, we met two other climbers, and the four of us continued on together.
After about five hours, we reached Devil’s Kitchen, a plateau (高原) at about 10,000 feet. By this point, the wind was howling. My exposed skin felt as though it were burning. The other climbers decided to turn back, but Mel and I went ahead. We had ice axes, helmets, and crampons (攀登钉鞋). We were in high spirits and prepared for the climb.
The trail we followed grew narrower and steeper. At around 9 am, we reached a flight of ice step. It was about three or four feet tall and sloped (倾斜) at a 75-degree angle. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step. Confident I was safe, I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a crack, and a whole slab（块）of ice broke off the step, right under my foot.
In an instant, I fell backward before I made any response. I could hear Mel calling my name in a trembling voice as I tumbled down, bouncing off the rock face, and rolling down the mountain as if I were a character in a video game. I remember thinking: This is it. You’re done.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stuck out my arms and legs hopelessly, grabbing at anything.

As Mel made her way down, I yelled for help, and other climbers came to my rescue.

It is contradictory that we haven’t been able to protect the species we care about the most.(然而，至少有一半的受访者没有意识到十大最具吸引力的物种中有五个受到威胁。我们没有能够保护我们最关心的物种，这是矛盾的)”可知，很奇怪，人们的思想和行为恰恰相反。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据最后一段““That would be not only something fair, but that would be something that could bring a win-win situation for them,” Courchamp says. “It could bring them positive public relation, for instance.(Courchamp说：“这不仅是公平的，而且会给他们带来双赢的局面。”“例如，这可能会给他们带来积极的公共关系)”可知，Courchamp通过举例在最后一段列出公司的责任和优势。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文为一篇说明文。研究表明，对于有失眠问题的人来说，在床罩上加一条加重的毯子，它的重量可以模仿深度压力刺激的触摸疗法，可以减慢心脏和呼吸，释放有益激素，因此减轻焦虑、改善睡眠质量，并减少疲劳、焦虑和抑郁，然而，对于患有循环系统疾病或呼吸问题的人来说，使用加重毯子前应咨询医生。。
16．根据上文“One thing that might sound a little strange but that has been known to work: adding a weighted blanket to those bedcovers.”（有一件事听起来可能有点奇怪，但却很有效:在床罩上加一条加重的毯子。）可知，选项承接上文说明加重毛毯的作用。故C选项“加重毛毯已经成为一种睡眠工具”切题。故选C项。

19．根据上文“A 2020 review looked at eight studies and concluded that weighted blankets helped reduce anxiety but not necessarily insomnia.”（ 2020年的一项综述研究了8项研究，得出的结论是，加重的毯子有助于减轻焦虑，但不一定能减轻失眠。）根据下文“A randomized controlled study in Sweden in 2020 looked at 120 people with insomnia and also depression, anxiety or other metal disorders. Those who used a weighted blanket reported that they had better sleep and were less tired, anxious and depressed during the day.”（ 2020年，瑞典的一项随机对照研究对120名失眠、抑郁、焦虑或其他金属疾病患者进行了研究。那些使用加重毛毯的人报告说，他们睡得更好，白天不那么累、焦虑和抑郁。）可知，研究结果有所不同。故B选项“其他研究则略有不同”切题。故选B项。
20．根据下文“If you’re someone with circulatory conditions such as diabetes or breathing issues, you should check with your doctor before using a weighted blanket,” adds McGinn.”（“如果你有循环系统疾病，如糖尿病或呼吸问题，你应该在使用加重毯子之前咨询你的医生。”）可知，然而，加重毛毯可能不是对所有人都有效。故D选项“加重毛毯可能不是对所有人都有效”切题。故选D项。

47．参考范文：
I stuck out my arms and legs hopelessly, grabbing at anything. I was overwhelmed with fear and regret. If only I had been more careful! I forced myself to calm down, pressing myself against the slope to slow down. Fortunately, a few minutes later, I came to a stop on a shallow incline. My clothes were shredded, my helmet was broken, and my face was bloodied from cuts and scratches. I made an attempt to stand up but in vain. Unable to move an inch further, I lay on the ice shivering and in pain, waiting for rescue.
As Mel made her way down, I yelled for help, and other climbers came to my rescue. With them rushing toward me, I sighed with relief and tears of excitement blurred my eyes. They made great efforts to relieve me of the suffering. Some offered to splint my leg and some called Portland Mountain Rescue while Mel stayed by my side, hugging me tightly to keep me warmer and less painful. So experienced and comforting were they that I was no longer as frightened as before. Eventually, I was sent to the hospital. I stayed for a long time. However, on my recovery, with greater caution and better preparations I returned on the trails. One slip on a mountain can change everything but never stops me from doing my favorite thing in the world.
