Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。
Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve racking(令人紧张的).① I had never been to such an amazing national park before, yet I wasn't the most athletic person so I knew that I couldn't stick through all the hiking up and down.② It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.
The ride there was definitely long but worth it. As I woke up from my nap, I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams.③ The trails were made nicely for visitors. The waterfalls were breathtaking. Climbing up rocks was one of my favourite parts. Even though I fell a couple of times, I still had a lot of fun. The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.④
The great thing about nature is that, it's just you, the views, and the people around you. There's nothing to bother you and it's the best way to relax and enjoy yourself. Yosemite has 5 of the world's highest waterfalls, and about 300 lakes. The structure of each mountain is incredible; it's formed in ways that almost take your breath away. Some of them are of a deep dark colour with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking out. It's definitely something you wouldn't want to miss.
Yosemite isn't the only great national park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends. It's a great time to bond, laugh, and take in what Mother Nature offers.

After a busy week, Lucy and her parents planned a mountain picnic to appreciate the beauty of nature and spend some quality time together. Little did they know, their trip was going to have some surprises.
Upon reaching the mountain's foot, they came across a house where Jack and his dad were securing a boat onto their truck. Lucy, curious about the best picnic spot, approached them for advice. Jack, familiar with the mountain, recommended a spot about a two hour hike away. “It's truly a sight to pay attention to,” he promised.
They parked next to Jack's truck, gathered their picnic supplies, and set foot on the scenic path. Thick trees lined one side of the road, while a gentle stream flowed on the other, guiding them to an impressive grassland adorned(装饰) with bright wildflowers. There, they enjoyed their tasty sandwiches, fresh fruits, and treats, all the while sharing delightful conversation.
As they were wrapping up their meal and looking forward to a leisurely rest, dark clouds gathered overhead, signaling the approach of rain. In a hurry, they pitched the tent they had fortunately brought along. No sooner had they taken shelter than the heavens opened, and a downpour began, turning the world outside into a blurry, watery canvas(油画). With no other option, they waited out the storm.
The rain finally stopped, and it felt as if they had been waiting for a century. Lucy and her parents quickly packed up, eager to head back. Their relief didn't last; the stream had grown into a huge, rushing flood, blocking their way. With no cellphone signal, they were cut off from the outside world. Adding to their dilemma, night was fast approaching, casting a shadow over their situation.
Despite the challenges, they gathered close together, using the tent as a temporary shelter against the approaching darkness. As they sat there, they realized that this unexpected event had brought them even closer as a family, turning a simple picnic into a memorable adventure they would never forget.

Ⅱ. 1—5 GBDEA
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些关于儿童的急救建议。
1. 根据上文“No parents want to think about their children getting hurt … have injuries. Some will even be serious.”并结合下文给出了一些急救的建议可知,本句应承上启下,引出下文的急救建议。故G项“当你的孩子需要急救时,这里有一些建议”符合语境。
2. 根据上文“It's common for children to get scrapes and cuts from time to time.”以及下文“you should pay more attention to it”可知,空处应该提到某种情况,使得家长需要更加注意孩子的伤口。故B项“如果你的孩子是一个活跃的孩子”符合语境。
3. 根据上文“Many insect bites are uncomfortable but relatively harmless; animal bites almost always require medical follow up.”以及下文“you should call 120 to come”可知,空处应该提到一种需要拨打120的紧急情况。故D项“所以如果你的孩子被蛇咬了”符合语境。
4. 根据本段小标题How to treat a bump on the head以及下文“But you should have a watchful eye on your children and contact your doctor with any problems.”中But表转折可知,此处应该提到头上的肿块对孩子来说通常不是问题,但家长仍需密切关注。故E项“这对孩子来说通常不是问题”符合语境。
5. 根据上文“Nosebleeds are common in childhood.”以及下文“If your children have a sudden nosebleed … if the bleeding doesn't stop after 510 minutes.”可知,空处应该承接上文提到的流鼻血很常见,又引出下文要介绍的如何处理流鼻血。故A项“然而,它们通常看起来比实际情况更可怕”符合语境。
Ⅲ. One possible version:
Suddenly,_they_heard_a_truck_noise_coming_from_the_other_side_of_the_river. It was Jack's truck they saw as it turned the corner, and this made them feel less worried. Jack had noticed the darkness settling and Lucy's car still parked near his house. Remembering the heavy rain, he worried and set out with his father in the truck to find them. As they neared the picnic area, Jack heard cries for help and spotted Lucy and her parents signaling for help. Quickly, Jack and his father launched their boat into the water to reach out to them.
Lucy_and_her_parents_got_on_Jack's_boat_and_crossed_the_river_safely. They then rode back to the mountain's start in his truck. They were thankful to Jack and his dad for helping them in time and being kind. They said “Thank you” with tears in their eyes. This special day taught them that being kind is powerful and they should keep helping others. They also learned always to be ready when going out into nature. This mountain picnic was a day they will remember forever.
