【改编自北师大选必三U8】
The crash was so violent that I have no clear recollection of falling from the boat. Might I hope to be saved？The darkness was intense. I saw a black mass disappearing in the east. It was the boat! I was lost.
“Help, help！” I shouted, swimming towards the boat in desperation. I was sinking! I couldn't breathe! “Help！” My mouth filled with water; I struggled against being drawn deeper, deeper down. Suddenly I felt myself quickly drawn up to the surface of the sea; and I heard these words：“If master would be so good as to hold onto my shoulder, master would swim with much greater ease.” I grabbed my faithful Conseil's arm with one hand.
“Is it you？” said I．
“Myself，” answered Conseil.
“That crash threw you as well as me into the sea？”
“No; but, being in my master's service, I followed him.”
Conseil was cool and calm. Nevertheless, our situation was no less terrible. Near one o'clock in the morning, I suddenly felt terribly tired. Conseil had to keep me up, and our preservation depended on him alone. “Leave me! Leave me！” I said to him.
“Never！” replied he. “I would drown first.”
“Help! Help！” cried Conseil. It seemed to me as if a cry answered him. There was no mistake! A human voice responded to ours! Then, I know not why, the thought of the strange, terrible animal came into my head for the first time! But that voice! I had almost no strength left; my fingers could hardly move; my mouth, opening and closing, filled with salt water. I became colder and colder. I raised my head for the last time, then I sank.
At this moment a hard body struck me. I held onto it; then I felt that I was being drawn up, that I was brought to the surface of the water, that my chest collapsed—my eyes closed, unconscious. I soon woke up, and half opened my eyes. I saw a face which I immediately recognised.“Ned！” I cried.

(2024·河南适应性测试)While climbing the Great Wall is a once-in-a-lifetime dream for many, Jim Spear has taken it a step further, spending nearly 20 years as a villager residing beneath this ancient wonder.
[过能力 综合提升]
“Never did I dream I would have the chance to visit the Great Wall, let alone live under it，” said Spear, a self-taught architect from the United States.
Spear's interest in China began during his college days. It deepened when he met Tang, a Chinese girl, in 1980, and they got married two years later. In 1986, he decided to drop out of his doctoral studies in Chinese politics at the University of California and moved to China “to get to the heart of things”. “I realized that if I became a scholar of China, based overseas, I wouldn't be able to experience what was happening in China，” Spear said.
In 1995, the couple secured a long?term rent of a traditional village farmhouse in Mutianyu and decided to make it their full?time home ten years later. Shortly after possessing full-time village life, he rented an abandoned schoolhouse and transformed it into a restaurant and art glass factory for a sustainable tourism business. He also turned a former factory into a hotel and helped renovate (翻新) over 20 households into restaurants. Besides, he explored other ways to support those residents in rural areas. “I want to do something for them，” Spear said.
Spear's designs reflect his natural talent for fusing (使融合) traditional and modern elements, adopting the Great Wall style. However, Spear emphasized his approach involves creating designs and views “that echo (映现) the Great Wall, not copy it”. In 2014, Spear received the Great Wall Friendship Award from the Beijing government.
Talking about the future, Spear sees abundant possibilities in China, driven by significant domestic demand and a growing emphasis on preserving historic structures.

The first set of Chinese stories presented in English scripts (剧本), titled Stories of China: Performed in English, was officially published by Foreign Languages Press. Planned by the New Channel International Education Group with the participation of playwrights from China，the United Kingdom and the United States, the book provides a new way for young people to learn English while inheriting (传承) and spreading Chinese culture.
The book contains 20 English scripts in novel formats covering a wide range of subjects. Unlike the most common English scripts for young readers on the market that are based on adaptations of European and American stories, those presented in this book are unique for being based on classic Chinese stories，readapted and written in English. The book is divided into first to third grades in terms of grammar and vocabulary difficulty, making it suitable for young English learners from primary school to junior and high school.
All the scripts in the book are written by top playwrights with elegant, pure and vivid language. The scripts are provided with a summary of the story in both Chinese and English, so that readers can fully understand the plot as well as the history and culture behind it. Readers can not only improve their English skills through immersive (沉浸式的) reading and performance but also appreciate Chinese culture.
Hu Min, English education expert and founder of the New Channel, said the combination of traditional culture and English teaching has become a trend, guiding young people to bring their own wisdom and deep cultural heritage to tell Chinese stories to the world. New Channel will offer special courses on Stories of China：Performed in English in its many schools across the country, and cooperate with primary and secondary schools in Beijing and Shanghai to offer English drama courses on a trial basis. Hu believes the courses will set off a new wave of enthusiastic learning among young people.
