词句自测
①on__behalf__of 代表
As we know, in 2016, Shennongjia made it onto the UNESCO World Heritage List.
众所周知，神农架在2016年入选联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录。
But there are so many important places not yet on this list.
但是还有很多重要的地方还没有在这个名单上。
So you might ask: why Shennongjia
所以你可能会问：为什么是神农架？
Is it its forests that stretch on and on like great green seas
是因为它的森林像绿色的大海一样绵延不绝吗？
Is it the legendary father of Chinese herbal medicine, Shennong, after whom the park is named
还是因为它是以中国草药之父神农命名？
Or is it the mysterious creature called “Yeren” (wild man) that has captured the imagination of the world
抑或是因为被称为“野人”的神秘生物引起了世界的想象力？
词句自测
②herbal adj. 用香(药)草制成的
③mysterious adj. 神秘的
UNESCO awarded Shennongjia this status because it meets two criteria required by the list.
联合国教科文组织授予神农架这一身份是因为它符合该名单所要求的两个标准。
It contains a naturally balanced environment that allows the many and various species to live and prosper.
它含有一个自然平衡的环境，使许多不同的物种得以生存和繁衍。
It is also one of the rare locations in the world where scientists can observe in real time the ecological and biological processes that occur as the plants and animals develop and evolve.
它也是世界上人迹罕至的地方之一，在那里，科学家们可以实时观察植物和动物在发展和进化过程中发生的生态的和生物的过程。
词句自测
④status n. 地位；身份
⑤criterion n. 标准，准则
⑥prosper v. 兴旺，发达
⑦rare adj. 稀有的，罕见的
⑧biological adj. 生物的，与生物有关的
⑨“主(It)系(is)表(one of ... world)”。where scientists ... evolve是定语从句，修饰locations；其中that occur ... evolve是定语从句，修饰processes，as the plants ... evolve是as引导的时间状语从句。
For the first criterion, Shennongjia is apparently one of the most “complete” natural areas in the world.
就第一项标准而言，神农架显然是世界上最“完整”的自然区域之一。
The region rises from about 400 metres to over 3，000 metres above sea level, giving it the name the “Roof of Central China”．
该地区的海拔从大约400米上升到3，000多米，被称为“华中屋脊”。
The vast range in altitude results in a great variation in climatic conditions.
海拔的巨大差异导致了迥然不同的气候条件。
This allows a wide variety of species to thrive.
这使得大量不同的物种得以繁衍生息。
Some of the plants and animals have survived millions of years, and are regarded as living fossils.
一些动植物已经生存了数百万年，被视为活化石。
词句自测
⑩apparently adv. 据说；看来，似乎
vast adj. 巨大的；广大的
altitude n. 海拔(高度)
variation n. 差异；变化
thrive v. 茁壮成长
fossil n. 化石
For the second criterion, we can see that Shennongjia has incredible biodiversity.
对于第二个标准，我们可以看到神农架有着极丰富的生物多样性。
Look at this slide.
请看这张幻灯片。
According to official statistics, over 3，000 plant species have been recorded there.
根据官方数据，在那里有记录的植物种类超过3，000种。
This represents more than ten per cent of China's total floral richness.
这相当于中国全部开花植物丰富度的10%以上。
Shennongjia supports more than 600 vertebrate species, including the Golden Snub nosed Monkey and the Clouded Leopard.
神农架有600多种脊椎动物，包括川金丝猴和云豹。
Additionally, around 4，300 insect species have been recorded.
此外，有记录的昆虫物种达到了4，300种左右。
词句自测
floral adj. 花的
vertebrate n. 脊椎动物
It is a challenge to look after so many species.
照顾如此多的物种是一项挑战。
In winter, scientists brave heavy snow and freezing temperatures to supply food to the Golden Snub nosed Monkey.
在冬季，科学家们不畏暴雪和严寒为川金丝猴提供食物。
Thanks to their efforts, the monkey's population has doubled since the 1980s.
由于他们的努力，自20世纪80年代以来，猴子的数量翻了一番。
Their number reached over 1，300 in 2015 and continues to grow.
它们的数量在2015年达到1，300多只，而且还在继续增长。
But the most impressive aspect of Shennongjia is the local people, who take things from nature without causing damage.
但神农架给人印象最深刻的是当地人，他们从大自然中索取，却没有造成破坏。
I visited a local village which is known for its home made honey.
我参观了当地一个以自制蜂蜜闻名的村庄。
词句自测
“主(the most ... Shennongjia)系(is)表(the local people)”。who take ... damage是非限制性定语从句，解释说明先行词people；介词without之后接动名词短语causing damage作宾语。
What is special about the honey is that it is produced by the earliest species of Chinese bee.
这种蜂蜜的特别之处在于它是由最早的中华蜜蜂生产的。
Every spring, the villagers place beehives around their houses to attract these wild bees from the forest.
每年春天，村民们就会在自家周围放置些蜂箱，以吸引这些来自森林的野生蜜蜂。
Although endangered elsewhere in China due to the invasion of foreign species, the bees of Shennongjia have coexisted with the local people for centuries.
尽管由于外来物种的入侵，神农架的蜜蜂在中国其他地区濒临灭绝，但这种蜜蜂一直与当地人共存了几个世纪。
By providing the bees with a secure home, the villagers collect their honey in return.
通过为蜜蜂提供一个安全的家，村民们收集蜂蜜作为回报。
This is just one of the ways in which people of Shennongjia live and work in harmony with nature.
这只是神农架的村民与自然和谐相处的方式之一。
词句自测
beehive n. 蜂房，蜂箱
endangered adj. 濒临灭绝的
elsewhere adv. 在别处
invasion n. 涌入
coexist v. 共存，共处
secure adj. 稳固的；安全的
“主(What is ... honey)系(is)表(that it is ... bee)”。What is ... honey是主语从句；that it is ... bee为表语从句。
All of this explains why Shennongjia earned—and deserves—its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as well as highlighting how understanding, awareness and hard work have contributed towards protecting a unique and wonderful part of our natural world.
所有这些解释了为什么神农架获得并理应在联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录上占有一席之地，同时也强调了理解、认识和辛勤工作是如何为保护我们自然世界独特而美好的一部分作出贡献的。
Thank you for listening.
感谢大家的聆听。
Now, does anyone have any questions

词句自测
“主(All of this)谓(explains)宾(why ... world)”。其中，why Shennongjia ... List是宾语从句；how understanding ... world是highlighting的宾语从句。

Ⅰ 阅读
Animal rescuer Douglas Thron's passion for animals began when he was a little kid. “I wanted to be a wildlife cinematographer (电影摄影师)，” Thron recalled.
When Thron grew up, he did just that, working as a cinematographer for shows like Shark Week, filming great white sharks off the coast of Santa Cruz. It was the hurricane in the Bahamas in 2018 that pushed him to do animal rescue work.
The first animal Thron ever rescued was a dog after the hurricane. Then Thron was testing out using a drone (无人驾驶飞机) and found the dog in the middle of the ruins where hundreds of houses had been destroyed. Equipped with an infrared scope (红外线镜), the camera of the drone used heat to detect the animals at night. “The animal's body temperature will produce light on the screen and you can pick it out amongst the ruins，” explains Thron. He rescued him. And as nobody claimed him after 30 days, he adopted him. “He is a wonderful partner，” Thron laughed.
Thron has been going non stop since then. His TV show, Doug to the Rescue, shows some of his heartwarming animal rescues, including after Hurricane Laura in Louisiana and after fires in Northern California and Oregon. Thron also helped rescue koalas after fires damaged parts of Australia, using drones to help locate the animals.
Thron's dream is to one day have an animal rescue center where he can train others to fly drones and to make infrared drones as popular for rescuing animals as helicopters are for rescuing people after a disaster.
“It blows me away how many more animals we're able to save，” Thron says, “and how much faster we can save them before they might pass away after a disaster.”

解析：考查词性转换。句意：这样一个惊人的外观帮助它成功躲避开树枝上的捕食者。such a/an＋adj.＋n.意为“……是如此……”，此处应用appear的名词。故填appearance。
2．答案：are called
解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：这些生物被称为竹节虫。主语These creatures与call之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。根据上一句中的helps可知，时态为一般现在时，主语为复数，谓语应用复数。故填are called。
3．答案：an
解析：考查冠词。句意：它们可以小于1英寸，也可以大于18英寸的尺子。此处为泛指，应用不定冠词，且eighteen的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
4．答案：themselves
解析：考查代词。句意：竹节虫还有其他一些用来保护自己的方法。设空处为defend的宾语，指保护它们自己，应用反身代词。故填themselves。
5．答案：that
解析：考查定语从句的引导词。句意：还有一些竹节虫会立即喷洒一些东西，灼伤攻击者的眼睛。设空处引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，先行词为something。故填that。
6．答案：easier
解析：考查形容词的比较级。句意：这种竹节虫相对于其他的种类更容易被看到，因为它有红色、黄色和黑色的斑纹。根据than可知，此处应用比较级。故填easier。
7．答案：attacked
解析：考查省略句型。句意：这些鲜艳的颜色是对捕食者的警告，捕食者知道它在受到攻击时，会释放出一种带有难闻气味的东西。when attacked 是时间状语从句when it is attacked的省略，当主句和从句的主语一致，从句谓语动词是be动词的某种形式时，从句中的主语和be动词可以省略，构成“连词＋过去分词”形式。故填attacked。
8．答案：to discover
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：黑暗使得大多数捕食者很难发现它们。it为形式宾语，to discover them 为真正的宾语。故填to discover。
9．答案：from/against
解析：考查介词。句意：然而，黑暗并不能保护竹节虫免受一种超级昆虫猎手——食虫蝙蝠的伤害。protect sb from/against ... “保护某人免受……”。故填from/against。
10．答案：absolutely
解析：考查词性转换。句意：竹节虫绝对是这些蝙蝠想吃的东西！设空处修饰are，应用副词。故填absolutely。
Ⅳ 读后续写
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。
Laurie had not been skating in any competition since her left knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago. As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous. She knew that today was a very important day in her comeback.
Laurie was told that she had a tough competitor this year, a girl from Connecticut named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything. “She is the one you have to beat this year，” the coach said.
Minutes later, the door opened and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age. The young woman dumped some of her belongings onto a chair.
Jinny looked at the clothing and equipment that lay scattered on the floor. As she began to gather her belongings, the door opened.
“Jinny，” called someone. “You'd better give the tape of your music to the sound engineer right away.”
“I thought I gave him my music tape an hour ago，” said Jinny. “Tell him it's the green box with my initials written in white in the right－hand corner.”
“He said you never gave it to him, and he's getting angry.”
“Then I don't know what I did with it，” said Jinny, hurrying out.
Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as skating itself. If she lost her music tape, she might as well forget about skating.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table. Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Laurie (劳里)因为左膝严重受伤不能参加任何滑冰比赛，第一次复出便遇到了强劲对手Jinny (吉尼)。Jinny的伴奏带找不到了，她还能参加比赛吗？Laurie又会怎么做呢？
[精彩范文]
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table. She pulled it out, and saw the white Initials J．J. in the top right－hand corner. “It's Jinny's music tape！” She exclaimed. Laurie's heart started beating fast. “All I'd have to do is forget that I found this，” she thought. “If Jinny doesn't have her music, she might as well not skate. And then I would win.” Laurie shivered slightly as she thought about this. Then she wondered, “Does winning mean so much to me that I'd be willing to cheat for it？” She walked to the door and called Jinny loudly.
Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name. The music filled the stadium and she skated gracefully and beautifully. Her left knee was fine and she felt herself gliding on the ice. The audience applauded from time to time, enthusiastically supporting her in her comeback. When she finished, her coach ran up to her and hugged her. “You did it, Laurie！” she said. Laurie smiled and thought about Jinny's music tape. “No one will ever know how close I really came to losing，” she said softly to herself.

WHY SHENNONGJIA
为什么是神农架？

大家早上好。
It is my great pleasure to give a lecture here on behalf of the Be at One with Nature Association.
我很开心能代表人与自然和谐相处协会在这里发表演讲。
词句自测
①_____________ 代表
on behalf of
As we know, in 2016, Shennongjia made it onto the UNESCO World Heritage List.
众所周知，神农架在2016年入选联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录。
But there are so many important places not yet on this list.
但是还有很多重要的地方还没有在这个名单上。
So you might ask: why Shennongjia
所以你可能会问：为什么是神农架？
Is it its forests that stretch on and on like great green seas
是因为它的森林像绿色的大海一样绵延不绝吗？
Is it the legendary father of Chinese herbal medicine, Shennong, after whom the park is named
还是因为它是以中国草药之父神农命名？
Or is it the mysterious creature called “Yeren” (wild man) that has captured the imagination of the world
抑或是因为被称为“野人”的神秘生物引起了世界的想象力？
词句自测
②_________ adj. 用香(药)草制成的
③______________ adj. 神秘的

mysterious
UNESCO awarded Shennongjia this status because it meets two criteria required by the list.
联合国教科文组织授予神农架这一身份是因为它符合该名单所要求的两个标准。
It contains a naturally balanced environment that allows the many and various species to live and prosper.
它含有一个自然平衡的环境，使许多不同的物种得以生存和繁衍。
It is also one of the rare locations in the world where scientists can observe in real time the ecological and biological processes that occur as the plants and animals develop and evolve.

For the first criterion, Shennongjia is apparently one of the most “complete” natural areas in the world.
就第一项标准而言，神农架显然是世界上最“完整”的自然区域之一。
The region rises from about 400 metres to over 3，000 metres above sea level, giving it the name the “Roof of Central China”．
该地区的海拔从大约400米上升到3，000多米，被称为“华中屋脊”。
The vast range in altitude results in a great variation in climatic conditions.
海拔的巨大差异导致了迥然不同的气候条件。
This allows a wide variety of species to thrive.
这使得大量不同的物种得以繁衍生息。
Some of the plants and animals have survived millions of years, and are regarded as living fossils.
一些动植物已经生存了数百万年，被视为活化石。

Look at this slide.
请看这张幻灯片。
According to official statistics, over 3，000 plant species have been recorded there.
根据官方数据，在那里有记录的植物种类超过3，000种。
This represents more than ten per cent of China's total floral richness.
这相当于中国全部开花植物丰富度的10%以上。
Shennongjia supports more than 600 vertebrate species, including the Golden Snub nosed Monkey and the Clouded Leopard.
神农架有600多种脊椎动物，包括川金丝猴和云豹。

It is a challenge to look after so many species.
照顾如此多的物种是一项挑战。
In winter, scientists brave heavy snow and freezing temperatures to supply food to the Golden Snub nosed Monkey.
在冬季，科学家们不畏暴雪和严寒为川金丝猴提供食物。
Thanks to their efforts, the monkey's population has doubled since the 1980s.
由于他们的努力，自20世纪80年代以来，猴子的数量翻了一番。
Their number reached over 1，300 in 2015 and continues to grow.
它们的数量在2015年达到1，300多只，而且还在继续增长。
But the most impressive aspect of Shennongjia is the local people, who take things from nature without causing damage.
但神农架给人印象最深刻的是当地人，他们从大自然中索取，却没有造成破坏。
I visited a local village which is known for its home made honey.
我参观了当地一个以自制蜂蜜闻名的村庄。

Every spring, the villagers place beehives around their houses to attract these wild bees from the forest.
每年春天，村民们就会在自家周围放置些蜂箱，以吸引这些来自森林的野生蜜蜂。
Although endangered elsewhere in China due to the invasion of foreign species, the bees of Shennongjia have coexisted with the local people for centuries.
尽管由于外来物种的入侵，神农架的蜜蜂在中国其他地区濒临灭绝，但这种蜜蜂一直与当地人共存了几个世纪。
By providing the bees with a secure home, the villagers collect their honey in return.
通过为蜜蜂提供一个安全的家，村民们收集蜂蜜作为回报。

Animal rescuer Douglas Thron's passion for animals began when he was a little kid. “I wanted to be a wildlife cinematographer (电影摄影师)，” Thron recalled.
When Thron grew up, he did just that, working as a cinematographer for shows like Shark Week, filming great white sharks off the coast of Santa Cruz. It was the hurricane in the Bahamas in 2018 that pushed him to do animal rescue work.
The first animal Thron ever rescued was a dog after the hurricane. Then Thron was testing out using a drone (无人驾驶飞机) and found the dog in the middle of the ruins where hundreds of houses had been destroyed. Equipped with an infrared scope (红外线镜), the camera of the drone used heat to detect the animals at night. “The animal's body temperature will produce light on the screen and you can pick it out amongst the ruins，” explains Thron. He rescued him. And as nobody claimed him after 30 days, he adopted him. “He is a wonderful partner，” Thron laughed.
Thron has been going non stop since then. His TV show, Doug to the Rescue, shows some of his heartwarming animal rescues, including after Hurricane Laura in Louisiana and after fires in Northern California and Oregon. Thron also helped rescue koalas after fires damaged parts of Australia, using drones to help locate the animals.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了野生动物电影摄影师Douglas Thron (道格拉斯·瑟隆)通过无人机救助动物的事迹。
Thron's dream is to one day have an animal rescue center where he can train others to fly drones and to make infrared drones as popular for rescuing animals as helicopters are for rescuing people after a disaster.
“It blows me away how many more animals we're able to save，” Thron says, “and how much faster we can save them before they might pass away after a disaster.”
1．What was Thron mainly responsible for as a cinematographer
A．Reporting natural disasters.
B．Protecting sharks.
C．Advertising drones.
D．Filming wild animals.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“When Thron grew up ... the coast of Santa Cruz.(当瑟隆长大后，他就是这样做的，在《鲨鱼周》等节目中担任电影摄影师，在圣克鲁斯海岸拍摄大白鲨。)”可知，作为一名电影摄影师，Thron主要负责拍摄野生动物。故选D。
2．What inspired Thron to start rescuing animals
A．A hurricane in the Bahamas.
B．A terrible fire in California.
C．The bad situation of sharks.
D．A TV show named Shark Week.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It was the hurricane ... to do animal rescue work.”可知，发生在巴哈马群岛的一次飓风推动Thron开始救助动物。故选A。
3．What happened to the first animal Thron ever rescued
A．It rescued Thron in return.
B．It passed away after 30 days.
C．It was trained to rescue other animals.
D．It became good company for Thron.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The first animal Thron ever rescued was a dog after the hurricane.(飓风过后瑟隆救的第一只动物是一只狗。)”和“And as nobody claimed him ... Thron laughed.(30天后因为没人认领这只狗，瑟隆就收养了它。‘它是个很棒的搭档，’瑟隆笑着说。)”可知，Thron收养了他救助的第一只狗，它成了Thron的好伙伴。故选D。
4．Why does Thron dream of having an animal rescue center
A．To help animals recover from disasters.
B．To raise awareness about animal protection.
C．To train people to use drones to rescue animals.
D．To provide shelter for the animals he has rescued.
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Thron's dream is to one day ... after a disaster.(瑟隆的梦想是有一天拥有一个动物救援中心，在那里他可以训练其他人操作无人机，并使红外无人机在救援动物时像直升机在灾难后救援人员一样受欢迎。)”可知，Thron想要拥有一个动物救援中心，训练人们使用无人机救助动物。故选C。
Ⅱ 完形填空
It happened on a rainy Saturday morning last month. My wife Catherine and I were driving along what some people called moose (麋鹿) alley. It was so __1__ that there were few cars on the road. __2__， a moose jumped out across our path. I had been driving for years and was __3__ in driving. In order to avoid knocking __4__ the moose, I made a quick turn to the other lane. Had I not done that, the moose might have been killed, and my wife and I might have got __5__， too.

篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。在一次差点和麋鹿相撞的经历之后，作者开始思考人类与动物的关系。他认为我们应该保护野生动物，因为保护它们就是在保护人类自己。
Certain philosophers and scientists keep repeating that if we don't save animals, how we will be able to save ourselves. A better __12__ of animals gives us a better understanding of our own species.

1．________ 2．________ 3．________ 4．________ 5．________
6．________ 7．________ 8．________ 9．________ 10．________
1．答案：appearance
2．答案：are called
解析：考查词性转换。句意：这样一个惊人的外观帮助它成功躲避开树枝上的捕食者。such a/an＋adj.＋n.意为“……是如此……”，此处应用appear的名词。故填appearance。
解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：这些生物被称为竹节虫。主语These creatures与call之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。根据上一句中的helps可知，时态为一般现在时，主语为复数，谓语应用复数。故填are called。
3．答案：an
4．答案：themselves
解析：考查冠词。句意：它们可以小于1英寸，也可以大于18英寸的尺子。此处为泛指，应用不定冠词，且eighteen的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
解析：考查代词。句意：竹节虫还有其他一些用来保护自己的方法。设空处为defend的宾语，指保护它们自己，应用反身代词。故填themselves。
5．答案：that
6．答案：easier
解析：考查定语从句的引导词。句意：还有一些竹节虫会立即喷洒一些东西，灼伤攻击者的眼睛。设空处引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，先行词为something。故填that。
解析：考查形容词的比较级。句意：这种竹节虫相对于其他的种类更容易被看到，因为它有红色、黄色和黑色的斑纹。根据than可知，此处应用比较级。故填easier。
7．答案：attacked
8．答案：to discover
解析：考查省略句型。句意：这些鲜艳的颜色是对捕食者的警告，捕食者知道它在受到攻击时，会释放出一种带有难闻气味的东西。when attacked 是时间状语从句when it is attacked的省略，当主句和从句的主语一致，从句谓语动词是be动词的某种形式时，从句中的主语和be动词可以省略，构成“连词＋过去分词”形式。故填attacked。
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：黑暗使得大多数捕食者很难发现它们。it为形式宾语，to discover them 为真正的宾语。故填to discover。
9．答案：from/against
10．答案：absolutely
解析：考查介词。句意：然而，黑暗并不能保护竹节虫免受一种超级昆虫猎手——食虫蝙蝠的伤害。protect sb from/against ... “保护某人免受……”。故填from/against。
解析：考查词性转换。句意：竹节虫绝对是这些蝙蝠想吃的东西！设空处修饰are，应用副词。故填absolutely。
Ⅳ 读后续写
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。
Laurie had not been skating in any competition since her left knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago. As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous. She knew that today was a very important day in her comeback.
Laurie was told that she had a tough competitor this year, a girl from Connecticut named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything. “She is the one you have to beat this year，” the coach said.
Minutes later, the door opened and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age. The young woman dumped some of her belongings onto a chair.
Jinny looked at the clothing and equipment that lay scattered on the floor. As she began to gather her belongings, the door opened.
“Jinny，” called someone. “You'd better give the tape of your music to the sound engineer right away.”
“I thought I gave him my music tape an hour ago，” said Jinny. “Tell him it's the green box with my initials written in white in the right－hand corner.”
“He said you never gave it to him, and he's getting angry.”
“Then I don't know what I did with it，” said Jinny, hurrying out.
Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as skating itself. If she lost her music tape, she might as well forget about skating.

[精彩范文]
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table. She pulled it out, and saw the white Initials J．J. in the top right－hand corner. “It's Jinny's music tape！” She exclaimed. Laurie's heart started beating fast. “All I'd have to do is forget that I found this，” she thought. “If Jinny doesn't have her music, she might as well not skate. And then I would win.” Laurie shivered slightly as she thought about this. Then she wondered, “Does winning mean so much to me that I'd be willing to cheat for it？” She walked to the door and called Jinny loudly.
Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name. The music filled the stadium and she skated gracefully and beautifully. Her left knee was fine and she felt herself gliding on the ice. The audience applauded from time to time, enthusiastically supporting her in her comeback. When she finished, her coach ran up to her and hugged her. “You did it, Laurie！” she said. Laurie smiled and thought about Jinny's music tape. “No one will ever know how close I really came to losing，” she said softly to herself.
