B
What
would
you
do
if
you
could
see
into
the
future?And
more
importantly,what
would
you
do
if
you
weren’t
happy
with
what
you
saw?These
are
the
questions
explored
in
Disney’s
movie,Tomorrowland.
Tomorrowland
tells
the
story
of
a
wide-eyed
dreamer
named
Casey
as
she
follows
her
curiosity
down
a
path
of
adventure
and
danger.When
a
strange
sign
shows
an
alternate(交替的)
reality,Casey
begins
a
magical
journey
into
another
world.As
she
struggles
to
make
sense
of
this
new
world,Casey
meets
a
scientist
named
Frank.Together
they
carry
out
a
task
to
uncover
the
mysteries
of
a
land
that
exists
between
time
and
space:Tomorrowland.?
According
to
Britt
Robertson,the
entire
movie
has
been
filled
with
secrecy.In
fact,she
had
to
audition(试镜)
many
times
for
the
part
of
Casey
before
she
was
even
allowed
to
read
the
script(剧本).Robertson
says
that
being
a
part
of
Tomorrowland
has
given
her
a
more
positive
outlook
on
the
future.“I
always
think
about
going
green
and
trying
to
help
the
world
with
things
I
can
do,”
she
told
TFK.“I
think
the
greatest
things
we
can
do
to
help
are
simple
things.The
small
stuff
counts.”
Robertson
auditioned
for
it
for
a
very
long
time
before
she
even
read
the
script.Once
she
read
the
script,she
just
loved
how
full
the
story
was.She
was
satisfied
with
it.She
felt
happy,like
she
had
just
been
on
an
adventurous
ride.She
was
also
sad,joyful,and
hopeful.She
felt
a
mix
of
emotions
after
reading
the
script
and
it
really
got
her
thinking
and
it
made
her
want
to
be
a
more
positive
person.She
was
very
happy
when
she
found
out
she
got
the
role.It
felt
like
all
her
hard
work
paid
off.

C
Attitudes
toward
new
technologies
often
fall
along
generational
lines.That
is,generally,younger
people
tend
to
outnumber
older
people
on
the
front
end
of
a
technological
shift.
It
is
not
always
the
case,though.When
you
look
at
attitudes
toward
driverless
cars,there
doesn’t
seem
to
be
a
clear
generational
divide.The
public
overall
is
split
on
whether
they’d
like
to
use
a
driverless
car.In
a
study
last
year,of
all
people
surveyed,48
percent
said
they
wanted
to
ride
in
one,while
50
percent
did
not.
The
fact
that
attitudes
toward
self-driving
cars
appear
to
be
so
steady
across
generations
suggests
how
varying
the
shift
to
driverless
cars
could
be.Not
everyone
wants
a
driverless
car
now—and
no
one
can
get
one
yet—but
among
those
who
are
open
to
them,every
age
group
is
similarly
involved.
Actually,this
isn’t
surprising.Whereas
older
generations
are
sometimes
reluctant
to
adopt
new
technologies,driverless
cars
promise
real
value
to
these
age
groups
in
particular.Older
adults,especially
those
with
limited
moving
or
difficulty
driving
on
their
own,are
one
of
the
classic
use-cases
for
driverless
cars.
This
is
especially
interesting
when
you
consider
that
younger
people
are
generally
more
interested
in
travel-related
technologies
than
older
ones.
When
it
comes
to
driverless
cars,differences
in
attitude
are
easily
noticeable
based
on
factors
not
related
to
age.College
graduates,for
example,are
particularly
interested
in
driverless
cars
compared
with
those
who
have
less
education.59
percent
of
college
graduates
said
they
would
like
to
use
a
driverless
car
compared
with
38
percent
of
those
with
a
high-school
diploma
or
less.
Where
a
person
lives
matters,too.More
people
who
live
in
cities
and
suburbs
said
they
wanted
to
try
driverless
cars
than
those
who
lived
in
rural
areas.
While
there’s
reason
to
believe
that
interest
in
self-driving
cars
is
going
up
across
the
board,a
person’s
age
will
have
little
to
do
with
how
self-driving
cars
can
become
mainstream.Once
driverless
cars
are
actually
available
for
sale,the
early
adopters
will
be
the
people
who
can
afford
to
buy
them.

D
Studies
have
shown
most
people
fail
to
realise
how
much
time
they
spend
on
their
smartphones
each
day.
Frank
and
Amelia’s
family
were
put
to
a
test,using
a
free
app
called
“Moment-screen
Time
Tracker”.The
Vascellaros—Frank,Amelia,14-year-old
twins
Frankie
and
Joe,and
17-year-old
Sam—all
said
they
did
not
really
know
they
were
spending
so
much
time
on
their
phones
each
day.
“Honestly,I
don’t
feel
like
I’m
on
my
phone
a
lot,”
Amelia
Vascellaro
said.Amelia
was
on
her
phone
far
less
often
than
Frank,according
to
the
app.While
Amelia
spent
about
an
hour
per
day
on
the
phone,Frank
spent
close
to
four
hours
on
his
phone—which
came
as
a
shock
to
him.The
children’s
times
varied
but
they
often
spent
more
than
a
couple
of
hours
on
the
phone
as
well.
Minneapolis-based
Dr
Kirsten
Lind
Seal
sees
phone
usage
come
up
a
lot
among
families.Lind
Seal
said
many
family
members’
phone
use
has
become
problematic.
“If
we
hear
more
than
once,‘Do
you
have
to
be
on
your
phone
right
now?Can
you
please
put
your
phone
down?Did
you
hear
what
I
said?’
it
may
be
a
sign
that
it
is
negatively
influencing
our
family
relationships
and
our
daily
lives,”
she
said.
Lind
Seal
said
actually
paying
attention
to
how
much
time
one
spends
on
the
phone
is
a
good
first
step
in
deciding
when
to
put
it
down.
She
asks
parents
to
encourage
more
face-to-face
communication
for
teens
and
young
adults
as
they
continue
developing
their
social
and
emotional
skills.“What
we
find
is
that
we
are
really
losing
out
on
empathy—the
ability
to
understand
other
people’s
feelings
and
problems——when
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
our
smartphones
to
communicate
with
other
people,”she
said.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。通过使用一款应用软件跟踪发现,很多人没有意识到自己每天花费很多时间使用手机。文章建议人们放下手机,应该进行更多的面对面的交流。
32.How
did
the
families
tested
by
the
app
feel
about
the
test
results?
A.Satisfied.
B.Doubtful.

5?
A.To
encourage
people
to
live
a
simple
life.
B.To
explain
the
signs

problematic
phone
use.
C.To
show
the
importance
of
close
relationships.

can
understand
each
other
better
using
smartphones.

ability
of
empathy
is
strengthened
by
smartphones.

teens’
emotional
skills.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Futurologists
are
making
a
lot
of
predictions
about
our
future
life. 36 By
2050,some
futurologists
foresee
that
some
“talking”
buildings
will
appear
in
our
life.?
By
the
middle
of
the
century,it’s
believed
that
buildings
will
be
able
to
“talk”
to
people
through
various
sensors
when
the
heating
needs
to
be
turned
on. 37 Instead,a
lot
of
networks
will
appear,which
can
be
compared
to
a
human
nervous
system.In
the
next
30
years,buildings
will
be
made
from
concrete
plastics
and
shape-changing
materials.All
of
them
can
heal
themselves
at
that
time. 38 there
will
be
a
need
for
new
kinds
of
elevators,through
which
vehicles
could
even
travel
into
the
buildings.German
engineers
have
already
started
working
on
such
technology
called
Multi.?
By
mid-century,scientists
believe
that
buildings
will
be
miles
tall.Some
of
them
may
be
very
large
and
they
can
function
as
small
cities.By
comparison,at
present,the
world’s
tallest
building,the
Burj
Khalifa
in
Dubai,measures
829.8
metres
high. 39 their
windows
will
be
replaced
by
virtual
screens.In
this
way,people
can
choose
any
view
as
they
like.?
At
height
extremes,a
London
Spaceport
is
also
likely
to
come
into
being
by
2050
as
the
space
industry
develops
very
quickly.There
is
a
huge
cost
advantage
going
to
space
from
as
high
a
base
as
possible. 40 ?
A.As
cities
are
being
very
crowded,
B.As
a
result,there
will
be
no
switches.
C.As
the
future
building
can
rise
through
the
clouds,
D.As
architects
are
racing
to
develop
the
world’s
tallest
buildings,
E.They
are
predicting
how
we
will
travel,work
and
live
in
the
next
30
years.
F.Therefore,a
spaceport
is
very
likely
to
be
over
10km,using
carbon-based
materials.
G.What
is
more
likely,though,is
that
planes
will
become
smarter
and
may
even
become
autonomous.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测,他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活。
36.E 根据上文提到的“未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测”可知,E项“他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活”可承接上文。
37.B 根据上文的“willbeableto‘talk’topeople...whentheheatingneedstobeturnedon”可知,B项是上文的结果。
38.D 根据下文的“therewillbeaneedfornewkindsofelevators...”可知,D项可作为过渡,引出下文。
39.C 根据下文的“theirwindows”可知,上文应该提到高楼,所以选C项。D项虽提到“theworld’stallestbuildings”,但是和下文无法衔接。
40.F 本段提到“aLondonSpaceport”,F项和上文构成因果关系,而且spaceport为同词复现。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Today
all
kinds
of
interesting
interactions
occurred.First,at
a
soup
kitchen
(赈济处),one
of
the
gentlemen
gave
me
several
candies!That’s
the
first
time
that
I
have
ever
41
it!It
was
so
sweet
and
I
am
happy
to
42
his
kindness.?
Another
one
is
that
a
lady
needed
me
to 43
her
and
asked
me
to
pray
for
her
husband.I
hugged
her
and
said
of
course
I
would.I
always
love
hearing
their
44
if
they
want
to
45 .So,so
much
love
in
just
dissolving
any
barrier
between
“you”
and
“me”
and
seeing
all
of
us
as
family.?
Afterwards
I
went
to
a
cafe
to
do
some
paper
work
and
had
a
sandwich 46
heading
off
to
one
of
my
friends’
party.I
noticed
there
was
an
elderly
lady
who
was
looking
for
a(n)
47
table.Since
there
were
no
empty
tables,I
pushed
my
papers
aside
and
48
to
her.She
understood,and
then
came
to
sit
across
from
me.That
then
led
me
to
get
to
listen
to
her
49
World
War
Two
survivor’s
life
story(
She
is
84
years
old
!).It
was
such
a
gift
to
share
lunch
with
her! 50
I
had
to
leave
after
a
while,but
it
was
so
lovely
to
have
lunch
with
a
51
and
feel
connected
to
her.As
she
said,“The
only
things
that
52
in
life
are
health,family
and
53 ”.?
As
I
was 54
to
a
friend’s
party,I
couldn’t
help
but
reflect
on
the
beauty
of
the
day
in
all
of
the
interactions
I
had,and
then
I
was
just
shocked
by
this
full
rainbow
that
I
could
see
right
next
to
my
car...like
the
universe
saying
“Yeah,you
got
it!”
I
will
smile
to
myself
for
the
rest
of
my
life.So
much
55
in
each
day.?

Dear

I’m

happening
in
China.I’m
writing
to
tell
you
something
about
the

Rubbish
classification
not

reduces

also
promotes
the

of
an

friendly
community.But
things
in
my

are
not
optimistic.Many
people
throw
waste
without

them
properly,which
results
in
great

and
adds

think
the

should
make
the
importance
of
waste

known
to
the

make

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One
weekend
in
July,Jane
and
her
husband,Tom,had
driven
three
hours
to
camp
overnight
by
a
lake
in
the
forest.Unfortunately,on
the
way
an
unpleasant
subject
came
up
and
they
started
to
quarrel.By
the
time
they
reached
the
lake,Jane
was
so
angry
that
she
said
to
Tom,“I’m
going
to
find
a
better
spot
for
us
to
camp”
and
walked
away.
With
no
path
to
follow,Jane
just
walked
on
for
quite
a
long
time.After
she
had
climbed
to
a
high
place,she
turned
around,hoping
to
see
the
lake.To
her
surprise,she
saw
nothing
but
forest
and,far
beyond,a
snowcapped
mountain
top.She
suddenly
realised
that
she
was
lost.
“Tom!”she
cried.“Help!”
No
reply.If
only
she
had
not
left
her
mobile
phone
in
that
bag
with
Tom.Jane
kept
moving,but
the
farther
she
walked,the
more
confused
she
became.As
night
was
beginning
to
fall,Jane
was
so
tired
that
she
had
to
stop
for
the
night.Lying
awake
in
the
dark,Jane
wanted
very
much
to
be
with
Tom
and
her
family.She
wanted
to
hold
him
and
tell
him
how
much
she
loved
him.
Jane
rose
at
the
break
of
day,hungry
and
thirsty.She
could
hear
water
trickling
(滴落)
somewhere
at
a
distance.Quickly
she
followed
the
sound
to
a
stream.To
her
great
joy,she
also
saw
some
berry
bushes.She
drank
and
ate
a
few
berries.Never
in
her
life
had
she
tasted
anything
better.Feeling
stronger
now,Jane
began
to
walk
along
the
stream
and
hoped
it
would
lead
her
to
the
lake.
As
she
picked
her
way
carefully
along
the
stream,Jane
heard
a
helicopter.Is
that
for
me?Unfortunately,the
trees
made
it
impossible
for
people
to
see
her
from
above.A
few
minutes
later,another
helicopter
flew
overhead.Jane
took
off
her
yellow
blouse,thinking
that
she
should
go
to
an
open
area
and
flag
them
if
they
came
back
again.

Butnomorehelicopterscameanditwasgettingdarkagain.Jane
had
to
stay
alone
in

for
another

night.At
that

she
wasn’t

reminded

constantly,“Tom

called
for
those

he
was
in

of
them

She
ate

then
walked
along

stream,hoping
to
find
a
suitable
place
to

the

walked
and
walked,exhausted
but
full
of
hope.Suddenly,she
spotted
a

managed
to
climb
onto
it
and
waited
with
patience.The

nearer

What
would
you
do
if
you
could
see
into
the
future?And
more
importantly,what
would
you
do
if
you
weren’t
happy
with
what
you
saw?These
are
the
questions
explored
in
Disney’s
movie,Tomorrowland.
Tomorrowland
tells
the
story
of
a
wide-eyed
dreamer
named
Casey
as
she
follows
her
curiosity
down
a
path
of
adventure
and
danger.When
a
strange
sign
shows
an
alternate(交替的)
reality,Casey
begins
a
magical
journey
into
another
world.As
she
struggles
to
make
sense
of
this
new
world,Casey
meets
a
scientist
named
Frank.Together
they
carry
out
a
task
to
uncover
the
mysteries
of
a
land
that
exists
between
time
and
space:Tomorrowland.?
According
to
Britt
Robertson,the
entire
movie
has
been
filled
with
secrecy.In
fact,she
had
to
audition(试镜)
many
times
for
the
part
of
Casey
before
she
was
even
allowed
to
read
the
script(剧本).Robertson
says
that
being
a
part
of
Tomorrowland
has
given
her
a
more
positive
outlook
on
the
future.“I
always
think
about
going
green
and
trying
to
help
the
world
with
things
I
can
do,”
she
told
TFK.“I
think
the
greatest
things
we
can
do
to
help
are
simple
things.The
small
stuff
counts.”
Robertson
auditioned
for
it
for
a
very
long
time
before
she
even
read
the
script.Once
she
read
the
script,she
just
loved
how
full
the
story
was.She
was
satisfied
with
it.She
felt
happy,like
she
had
just
been
on
an
adventurous
ride.She
was
also
sad,joyful,and
hopeful.She
felt
a
mix
of
emotions
after
reading
the
script
and
it
really
got
her
thinking
and
it
made
her
want
to
be
a
more
positive
person.She
was
very
happy
when
she
found
out
she
got
the
role.It
felt
like
all
her
hard
work
paid
off.

C
Attitudes
toward
new
technologies
often
fall
along
generational
lines.That
is,generally,younger
people
tend
to
outnumber
older
people
on
the
front
end
of
a
technological
shift.
It
is
not
always
the
case,though.When
you
look
at
attitudes
toward
driverless
cars,there
doesn’t
seem
to
be
a
clear
generational
divide.The
public
overall
is
split
on
whether
they’d
like
to
use
a
driverless
car.In
a
study
last
year,of
all
people
surveyed,48
percent
said
they
wanted
to
ride
in
one,while
50
percent
did
not.
The
fact
that
attitudes
toward
self-driving
cars
appear
to
be
so
steady
across
generations
suggests
how
varying
the
shift
to
driverless
cars
could
be.Not
everyone
wants
a
driverless
car
now—and
no
one
can
get
one
yet—but
among
those
who
are
open
to
them,every
age
group
is
similarly
involved.
Actually,this
isn’t
surprising.Whereas
older
generations
are
sometimes
reluctant
to
adopt
new
technologies,driverless
cars
promise
real
value
to
these
age
groups
in
particular.Older
adults,especially
those
with
limited
moving
or
difficulty
driving
on
their
own,are
one
of
the
classic
use-cases
for
driverless
cars.
This
is
especially
interesting
when
you
consider
that
younger
people
are
generally
more
interested
in
travel-related
technologies
than
older
ones.
When
it
comes
to
driverless
cars,differences
in
attitude
are
easily
noticeable
based
on
factors
not
related
to
age.College
graduates,for
example,are
particularly
interested
in
driverless
cars
compared
with
those
who
have
less
education.59
percent
of
college
graduates
said
they
would
like
to
use
a
driverless
car
compared
with
38
percent
of
those
with
a
high-school
diploma
or
less.
Where
a
person
lives
matters,too.More
people
who
live
in
cities
and
suburbs
said
they
wanted
to
try
driverless
cars
than
those
who
lived
in
rural
areas.
While
there’s
reason
to
believe
that
interest
in
self-driving
cars
is
going
up
across
the
board,a
person’s
age
will
have
little
to
do
with
how
self-driving
cars
can
become
mainstream.Once
driverless
cars
are
actually
available
for
sale,the
early
adopters
will
be
the
people
who
can
afford
to
buy
them.

Studies
have
shown
most
people
fail
to
realise
how
much
time
they
spend
on
their
smartphones
each
day.
Frank
and
Amelia’s
family
were
put
to
a
test,using
a
free
app
called
“Moment-screen
Time
Tracker”.The
Vascellaros—Frank,Amelia,14-year-old
twins
Frankie
and
Joe,and
17-year-old
Sam—all
said
they
did
not
really
know
they
were
spending
so
much
time
on
their
phones
each
day.
“Honestly,I
don’t
feel
like
I’m
on
my
phone
a
lot,”
Amelia
Vascellaro
said.Amelia
was
on
her
phone
far
less
often
than
Frank,according
to
the
app.While
Amelia
spent
about
an
hour
per
day
on
the
phone,Frank
spent
close
to
four
hours
on
his
phone—which
came
as
a
shock
to
him.The
children’s
times
varied
but
they
often
spent
more
than
a
couple
of
hours
on
the
phone
as
well.
Minneapolis-based
Dr
Kirsten
Lind
Seal
sees
phone
usage
come
up
a
lot
among
families.Lind
Seal
said
many
family
members’
phone
use
has
become
problematic.
“If
we
hear
more
than
once,‘Do
you
have
to
be
on
your
phone
right
now?Can
you
please
put
your
phone
down?Did
you
hear
what
I
said?’
it
may
be
a
sign
that
it
is
negatively
influencing
our
family
relationships
and
our
daily
lives,”
she
said.
Lind
Seal
said
actually
paying
attention
to
how
much
time
one
spends
on
the
phone
is
a
good
first
step
in
deciding
when
to
put
it
down.
She
asks
parents
to
encourage
more
face-to-face
communication
for
teens
and
young
adults
as
they
continue
developing
their
social
and
emotional
skills.“What
we
find
is
that
we
are
really
losing
out
on
empathy—the
ability
to
understand
other
people’s
feelings
and
problems——when
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
our
smartphones
to
communicate
with
other
people,”she
said.

Futurologists
are
making
a
lot
of
predictions
about
our
future
life. 36 By
2050,some
futurologists
foresee
that
some
“talking”
buildings
will
appear
in
our
life.?
By
the
middle
of
the
century,it’s
believed
that
buildings
will
be
able
to
“talk”
to
people
through
various
sensors
when
the
heating
needs
to
be
turned
on. 37 Instead,a
lot
of
networks
will
appear,which
can
be
compared
to
a
human
nervous
system.In
the
next
30
years,buildings
will
be
made
from
concrete
plastics
and
shape-changing
materials.All
of
them
can
heal
themselves
at
that
time. 38 there
will
be
a
need
for
new
kinds
of
elevators,through
which
vehicles
could
even
travel
into
the
buildings.German
engineers
have
already
started
working
on
such
technology
called
Multi.?
By
mid-century,scientists
believe
that
buildings
will
be
miles
tall.Some
of
them
may
be
very
large
and
they
can
function
as
small
cities.By
comparison,at
present,the
world’s
tallest
building,the
Burj
Khalifa
in
Dubai,measures
829.8
metres
high. 39 their
windows
will
be
replaced
by
virtual
screens.In
this
way,people
can
choose
any
view
as
they
like.?
At
height
extremes,a
London
Spaceport
is
also
likely
to
come
into
being
by
2050
as
the
space
industry
develops
very
quickly.There
is
a
huge
cost
advantage
going
to
space
from
as
high
a
base
as
possible. 40 ?
A.As
cities
are
being
very
crowded,
B.As
a
result,there
will
be
no
switches.
C.As
the
future
building
can
rise
through
the
clouds,
D.As
architects
are
racing
to
develop
the
world’s
tallest
buildings,
E.They
are
predicting
how
we
will
travel,work
and
live
in
the
next
30
years.
F.Therefore,a
spaceport
is
very
likely
to
be
over
10km,using
carbon-based
materials.
G.What
is
more
likely,though,is
that
planes
will
become
smarter
and
may
even
become
autonomous.

Today
all
kinds
of
interesting
interactions
occurred.First,at
a
soup
kitchen
(赈济处),one
of
the
gentlemen
gave
me
several
candies!That’s
the
first
time
that
I
have
ever
41
it!It
was
so
sweet
and
I
am
happy
to
42
his
kindness.?
Another
one
is
that
a
lady
needed
me
to 43
her
and
asked
me
to
pray
for
her
husband.I
hugged
her
and
said
of
course
I
would.I
always
love
hearing
their
44
if
they
want
to
45 .So,so
much
love
in
just
dissolving
any
barrier
between
“you”
and
“me”
and
seeing
all
of
us
as
family.?
Afterwards
I
went
to
a
cafe
to
do
some
paper
work
and
had
a
sandwich 46
heading
off
to
one
of
my
friends’
party.I
noticed
there
was
an
elderly
lady
who
was
looking
for
a(n)
47
table.Since
there
were
no
empty
tables,I
pushed
my
papers
aside
and
48
to
her.She
understood,and
then
came
to
sit
across
from
me.That
then
led
me
to
get
to
listen
to
her
49
World
War
Two
survivor’s
life
story(
She
is
84
years
old
!).It
was
such
a
gift
to
share
lunch
with
her! 50
I
had
to
leave
after
a
while,but
it
was
so
lovely
to
have
lunch
with
a
51
and
feel
connected
to
her.As
she
said,“The
only
things
that
52
in
life
are
health,family
and
53 ”.?
As
I
was 54
to
a
friend’s
party,I
couldn’t
help
but
reflect
on
the
beauty
of
the
day
in
all
of
the
interactions
I
had,and
then
I
was
just
shocked
by
this
full
rainbow
that
I
could
see
right
next
to
my
car...like
the
universe
saying
“Yeah,you
got
it!”
I
will
smile
to
myself
for
the
rest
of
my
life.So
much
55
in
each
day.?

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One
weekend
in
July,Jane
and
her
husband,Tom,had
driven
three
hours
to
camp
overnight
by
a
lake
in
the
forest.Unfortunately,on
the
way
an
unpleasant
subject
came
up
and
they
started
to
quarrel.By
the
time
they
reached
the
lake,Jane
was
so
angry
that
she
said
to
Tom,“I’m
going
to
find
a
better
spot
for
us
to
camp”
and
walked
away.
With
no
path
to
follow,Jane
just
walked
on
for
quite
a
long
time.After
she
had
climbed
to
a
high
place,she
turned
around,hoping
to
see
the
lake.To
her
surprise,she
saw
nothing
but
forest
and,far
beyond,a
snowcapped
mountain
top.She
suddenly
realised
that
she
was
lost.
“Tom!”she
cried.“Help!”
No
reply.If
only
she
had
not
left
her
mobile
phone
in
that
bag
with
Tom.Jane
kept
moving,but
the
farther
she
walked,the
more
confused
she
became.As
night
was
beginning
to
fall,Jane
was
so
tired
that
she
had
to
stop
for
the
night.Lying
awake
in
the
dark,Jane
wanted
very
much
to
be
with
Tom
and
her
family.She
wanted
to
hold
him
and
tell
him
how
much
she
loved
him.
Jane
rose
at
the
break
of
day,hungry
and
thirsty.She
could
hear
water
trickling
(滴落)
somewhere
at
a
distance.Quickly
she
followed
the
sound
to
a
stream.To
her
great
joy,she
also
saw
some
berry
bushes.She
drank
and
ate
a
few
berries.Never
in
her
life
had
she
tasted
anything
better.Feeling
stronger
now,Jane
began
to
walk
along
the
stream
and
hoped
it
would
lead
her
to
the
lake.
As
she
picked
her
way
carefully
along
the
stream,Jane
heard
a
helicopter.Is
that
for
me?Unfortunately,the
trees
made
it
impossible
for
people
to
see
her
from
above.A
few
minutes
later,another
helicopter
flew
overhead.Jane
took
off
her
yellow
blouse,thinking
that
she
should
go
to
an
open
area
and
flag
them
if
they
came
back
again.
