听第10段材料，回答第18至20题。
18．How is the news being broadcast?
A．Over the Internet. B．Over the radio. C．On TV.
19．Which city is the weather report mainly about?
A．Hong Kong. B．Shanghai. C．Guangzhou.
20．When will the heavy rains move north?
A．In May. B．In July. C．In August.
【答案】18．A    19．C    20．B
【原文】 Good morning, this is Samantha from The Weather Service, your free Internet weather station with news around the world and around the clock. Your preferred city is Guangzhou. In Guangzhou this week, we expect more heavy rains, since we are only at the beginning of June. May was rather dry, but the storms should pick up again before the weekend. Hong Kong is expected to get hit hardest with this next cycle of rain, but everywhere south of Shanghai along the coast should see some amount of rainfall. Guangzhou will get around four centimeters over the next five days. Another band of rain can be seen on the radar, but it’s too far south over the sea right now. So it’s hard to say when it will hit Guangzhou.
This weather pattern should continue through June and into July, when the heavy rains will finally move to the north of China. This is the latest update for your Guangzhou weather. Remember, you can check back at The Weather Service anytime—day or night—to get updates on your local weather or the weather in your favorite city.

【江苏省海安市2022-2023学年高三上学期期初学业质量监测】
It was a reading class. While all her classmates were flying through the 2nd and 3rd books in the Harry Potter series, Skye Malik, only on page four of the first book, got impossibly stuck on the word “doughnut”.
Her unexpected difficulty with reading is called dyslexia. Skye got a professional diagnosis at the end of the 2nd grade. Knowing that other kids were going through the same thing made it easier on her somehow. What wasn’t easy, even after all the help she got from special tutors and reading programs, was fluent reading. What many people do without thinking—reading—she had to struggle with word by word, sometimes letter by letter. In class, she would hear the other kids flip through the pages on assignments and go on to the questions while she was still doing battle with the first paragraph.
She was as frustrated as she was discouraged. But she didn’t know of any other way until her 4th grade teacher, Miss Pollock, told her about something called Learning Ally.
Learning Ally is a non-profit organization that offers audio versions of books. A crew of volunteer readers has recorded 75,000 classic novels, children’s books, and school textbooks that help more than 300,000 students and adults with learning differences or who are blind. Now Skye could listen to the books with her ears and follow the words with her eyes on the page. Instead of having her mother read her textbooks to her, she could independently do her work. “With Learning Ally, I feel confident and capable and can easily keep up with my classmates,” Skye explains, “and I want other kids to feel empowered, just the way I did.”
So Skye, now aged 16, created The Paco Project which was named after her grandfather, whose nickname was “Paco”. The Paco Project is a fundraiser and educational initiative focusing on giving students with dyslexia access to the same Learning Ally technology that changed her life.
Skye has realized that she is one of the lucky kids who have been diagnosed. She knows that educating teachers about dyslexia and giving students with the leaning challenge the tools they need is a great first step in meeting dyslexia head on and helping them be confident, capable students.
“Right now they feel stuck ashamed, unsure and insecure about their school work. I hope I could help stop these students feeling this way, which would mean the world to me.”
24．According to the passage, what can we learn about Skye?
A．She felt annoyed at being teased by her classmates.
B．She found a way out with the help of Miss Pollock.
C．She preferred reading the first book of Harry Potter.
D．She was diagnosed with dyslexia in her fourth grade.
25．What’s the purpose of the Paco Project?
A．To be in honor of Skye’s grandfather.
B．To promote Learning Ally technology.
C．To empower those with reading difficulty.
D．To meet the growing demands of teachers.
26．Which of the following can best describe Skye’s character?
A．determined and social. B．independent and helpful.
C．empathetic and ambitious. D．considerate and confident.
27．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．What people with dyslexia are suffering?
B．What measures are needed to beat dyslexia.
C．How Learning Ally influenced people with dyslexia.
D．How Skye battled against dyslexia and helped others.
【答案】24．B   25．C    26．C    27．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Skye Malik作为一名有阅读障碍的孩子，在老师 Miss Pollock的帮助下，使用了可提供有声读物的非盈利性组织Learning Ally帮助她顺利地听到了很多书。Skye长大后，创立了一个名为Paco的项目，给有阅读障碍的孩子们提供帮助，她希望更多的孩子可以因为她的帮助过上正常和美好的生活。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But she didn’t know of any other way until her 4th grade teacher, Miss Pollock, told her about something called Learning Ally.(但是她不知道其他的方法，直到她四年级的老师Pollock小姐告诉她一个叫做Learning Ally的东西。)”可知，Skye是通过Pollock老师知道了Learning Ally，所以是在Pollock小姐的帮助下找到了解决办法。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The Paco Project is a fundraiser and educational initiative focusing on giving students with dyslexia access to the same Learning Ally technology that changed her life.( Paco项目是一个资金筹集者和教育倡议，致力于让有诵读困难的学生使用改变她生活的“学习联盟”技术。)”可知，Paco项目和 Learning Ally一样，是致力于让有诵读困难的学生改变生活的项目。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第四段的““With Learning Ally, I feel confident and capable and can easily keep up with my classmates,” Skye explains, “and I want other kids to feel empowered, just the way I did.”(“有了Learning Ally，我感到自信和有能力，可以轻松地赶上我的同学，”斯凯解释说，“我希望其他孩子也能像我一样感受到力量。”)”可知，斯凯希望其他有阅读障碍的孩子也能感受到力量，由此推知她具有同理心。根据第五段“So Skye, now aged 16, created The Paco Project which was named after her grandfather, whose nickname was ‘Paco’.The Paco Project is a fundraiser and educational initiative focusing on giving students with dyslexia access to the same Learning Ally technology that changed her life.”( 因此，现年16岁的斯凯创建了“帕科计划”，以她祖父的名字命名，她的祖父的昵称是“帕科”。 Paco项目是一个资金筹集者和教育倡议，致力于让有诵读困难的学生使用改变她生活的“学习联盟”技术。)”可知，斯凯创建了“科帕计划”来帮助有阅读障碍的孩子，由此推知她是有抱负的。综上，故选C。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文以及第二段“Her unexpected difficulty with reading is called dyslexia. Skye got a professional diagnosis at the end of the 2nd grade. (她意想不到的阅读困难被称为失读症。斯凯在二年级结束时得到了专业诊断。)”和第五段“So Skye, now aged 16, created The Paco Project which was named after her grandfather, whose nickname was ‘Paco’.The Paco Project is a fundraiser and educational initiative focusing on giving students with dyslexia access to the same Learning Ally technology that changed her life.( 因此，现年16岁的斯凯创建了“帕科计划”，以她祖父的名字命名，她的祖父的昵称是“帕科”。 Paco项目是一个资金筹集者和教育倡议，致力于让有诵读困难的学生使用改变她生活的“学习联盟”技术。)”可知，Skye是一个阅读障碍患者，通过他人的帮助，对抗这个病症，并在长大后也开始帮助其他阅读障碍患者的故事。故选D。

Without doubt, Africa includes some of the most diverse and powerful wildlife in the world. It’s what keeps tourists coming back and environmentalists impassioned (充满激情的). Unfortunately, much of the wildlife that Africa is famous for has come under threat in recent years, as more and more African animals are at risk of dying out.
Rhinos (犀牛), the large yet gentle animals is currently considered greatly endangered in Africa. This is mostly due to poaching (偷猎) at large scale and habitat destruction according to Study.com, although there are many contributing factors. Shockingly, The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) states that there were 500,000 rhinos in Africa at the start of the 20th century. However, only 29,000 remain in the wild today.
The African mountain gorilla (大猩猩) has faced wars, civil unrest (内乱) and habitat destruction over the years. Today, there may be as few as 700 mountain gorillas left in the wild. In fact, according to WWF, the future for mountain gorillas was once thought to be so hopeless that many people thought the species would be entirely extinct by the end of the 20th century. Luckily, things have been looking up in recent years thanks to conservation efforts, as the population has shown a slow but steady increase.
Leopards (豹子) are a powerful creature. They have seen major population decrease in recent years, and can be found in many continents across the globe including Africa, Asia and Russia. Despite this, the leopard is currently considered rather endangered. According to the International Society for Endangered Cats (ISEC) Canada, nearly 37 percent of leopards have been wiped out of their African range.
Unfortunately, the list of endangered wildlife in Africa goes on. It seems that there is no animal free from the threat of extinction in Africa. With that said, there is so much you can do to help. For a full list of tips and tricks on how you can help endangered wildlife in your area and the world, head to WorldWildlife.org.
28．What do the mentioned animals have in common?
A．They are all at the risk of extinction. B．They are well protected by the locals.
C．They all suffered from wars and killing. D．They can’t find enough food to eat.
29．Which of the following is true about leopards according to the text?
A．They are widely spread over the world. B．Half of them have been killed so far.
C．They are now driven out of Africa. D．37% of the animals live in Russia.
30．What is the author’s attitude towards the preservation of wildlife?
A．Doubtful. B．Indifferent. C．Hopeful. D．Worried.
31．Where is this text taken from?
A．A magazine. B．A newspaper. C．A report. D．A website.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了非洲野生动物面临灭绝危险的现状，呼吁我们采取行动保护野生动物。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Unfortunately, much of the wildlife that Africa is famous for has come under threat in recent years, as more and more African animals are at risk of dying out.”（不幸的是，近年来，随着越来越多的非洲动物面临灭绝的危险，许多非洲著名的野生动物都受到了威胁）可知，文章主要介绍的是面临灭绝危险的非洲著名的野生动物，下文列举了犀牛、大猩猩和豹子，它们都是面临灭绝危险的野生动物，由此可知，文中提到的动物的共同点是它们都有灭绝的危险。故选A项。
29．细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“They have seen major population decrease in recent years, and can be found in many continents across the globe including Africa, Asia and Russia.”（近年来，它们的数量大幅减少，在全球许多大陆，包括非洲、亚洲和俄罗斯，都可以找到它们）可知，在全球许多大陆都可以找到豹子，由此可知，豹子广泛分布在世界各地。故选A项。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“Luckily, things have been looking up in recent years thanks to conservation efforts, as the population has shown a slow but steady increase.”（幸运的是，由于保护努力，近年来情况有所好转，因为数量显示出缓慢但稳定的增长）和最后一段关键句“With that said, there is so much you can do to help.”（话虽如此，你能做的有所帮助的事太多了）可知，作者认为动物保护工作帮助大猩猩的数量缓慢但稳定的增长，我们可以做很多事来保护动物，由此可推断出，作者对保护野生动物的态度是充满希望的。故选C项。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“For a full list of tips and tricks on how you can help endangered wildlife in your area and the world, head to WorldWildlife.org.”（有关如何帮助你所在地区和世界上濒危野生动物的提示和技巧的完整列表，请访问worldwife.org。）可知，文章介绍了非洲野生动物面临灭绝危险的现状，并告知读者可以通过访问worldwife.org获得更多信息，由此可知，这篇文章可能出自一个网站。故选D项。

【2023届江苏省南京市第一中学高三第一次模拟】
You look up at the sky on a clear and dark night, you’ll see more stars than your eyes can count. Most of these stars have planets, similar to our own, orbiting them. With so many celestial bodies floating out in space, you can’t help but question whether other forms of life exist in the universe. And if that’s the case, is it possible to contact them?
Science is still somewhat divided on this issue. Currently, no evidence exists to suggest that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe. Yet with an estimated one trillion planets in our galaxy alone, it seems highly likely that Earthlings aren’t the only intelligent creatures out there. Some claim that life can only develop under perfect circumstances, and Earth is perhaps the only example of this. Other scientists object to this claim, and point out that even on Earth, life can find a way under the most extreme circumstances.
Some people believe that aliens have already visited our planet, but this information is being kept secret by governments. The most famous incident of this kind occurred in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. On that date, many residents reported seeing an unusual flying disc streak through the sky, before it crashed in a field. When the military heard about the crash, they quickly sealed off the area. A few hours later, the army base announced that it had recovered a flying disk. Shortly after, this statement was retracted and it was said that it was a weather balloon that crashed. However, years later one local mortician even claimed that the military had him secretly perform an autopsy on a dead alien body.
Others believe that there certainly are other life forms out there, but the distance between us is too great. Even if we could somehow create a spaceship that travels at the speed of light, it would still probably take several lifetimes to reach them. Then again, we might never have to do this if aliens reach us first.
32．Why do some scientists think there is life on other planets?
A．Because an unusual flying disc was ever witnessed.
B．Because life exists despite extreme conditions as those on the Earth do.
C．Because the government’s statement seemed suspicious.
D．Because there are a great number of planets in the universe.
33．What does the underlined word “retracted” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Examined again to guarantee the correctness. B．Emphasized again to persuade people.
C．Formally taken back what has been said. D．Seriously criticized due to poor evidence
34．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A．Are we alone in the universe? B．Is it possible to contact aliens?
C．Intelligent life in the universe. D．Planets floating out in space.
35．How does the author sound in the passage?
A．Objective. B．Humorous. C．Cautious. D．Anxious.
【答案】32．D33．C34．A35．A
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了太空中是否还存在其它形式的生命，论述了不同的人对此的不同看法。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Yet with an estimated one trillion planets in our galaxy alone, it seems highly likely that Earthlings aren’t the only intelligent creatures out there.(然而，据估计，仅在我们的星系中就有一万亿颗行星，地球人似乎很有可能不是唯一的智慧生物)”可知，有些科学家认为其他星球上有生命是因为宇宙中有大量的行星。故选D。
33．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“A few hours later, the army base announced that it had recovered a flying disk. Shortly after, this statement was”以及后文“it was said that it was a weather balloon that crashed(据说是一个气象气球坠毁)”可知，该军事基地宣布他们找到了一个飞碟。不久之后，这一声明被撤回，据说是一个气象气球坠毁。故画线词意思是“正式收回说过的话”，故选C。
34．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“With so many celestial bodies floating out in space, you can’t help but question whether other forms of life exist in the universe. And if that’s the case, is it possible to contact them?(太空中漂浮着这么多天体，你不禁要问宇宙中是否存在其他形式的生命。如果有的话，能联系上他们吗？)”结合文章主要论述了太空中是否还存在其它形式的生命，论述了不同的人对此的不同看法。可知，A选项“我们是宇宙中唯一的存在吗？”最符合文章标题。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Science is still somewhat divided on this issue.(科学界在这个问题上仍然存在分歧)”；第三段中“Some people believe that aliens have already visited our planet, but this information is being kept secret by governments.(有些人认为外星人已经访问过我们的星球，但这些信息被政府保密)”以及最后一段中“Others believe that there certainly are other life forms out there, but the distance between us is too great.(另一些人认为肯定有其他生命形式存在，但我们之间的距离太大了)”可推知，文中没有提到作者的观点，即作者是客观的语气。故选A。

【江苏省镇江市2022-2023学年高三上学期期初】
We are all social emotional beings and throughout our lives, we all continue to shape our behaviours and relationships. However, for lifelong well-being, the development of social emotional skills should be shaped wisely as a child opens its eyes to this world. Here are some strategic actions that will help you guide your child in improving their social emotional learning skills.
____36____ If they are crying, tell them ‌“You look sad” or ‌“It looks like you are mad right now.” This way you can reflect their emotions to them with words and help them understand and express their emotions too.
Approve your children’s feelings. Instead of saying ‌“Stop shouting and calm down, it’s not a big deal” try to say ‌“I know you are really angry right now but we can talk about it.” ____37____
Give your kid some space and let them experience uncomfortable feelings. Everyone feels alone or bored sometimes. ____38____ This will help them tolerate disturbing feelings and situations going forward.
Accept emotions & correct behaviors. It’s okay to feel angry sometimes. Eventually, we need to feel that anger in some specific situations. ____39____ Teach your children that the feeling is normal, but they shouldn’t be screaming loudly in a public area just because they are feeling an emotion as this may make other people uncomfortable.
Support other cognitive skills. ____40____ Scientific educational brain games apps developed by academicians like those at MentaIUP are reliable and beneficial sources to improve cognitive(认知的)skills.
Every parent should keep in mind that all kids can shape and develop their social and emotional skills differently. Trying to find ways that suit your kids’ needs, interests and according to learning styles is always a better solution than blaming yourself or the kids.
A．Cognitive skills can only be acquired from classroom learning.
B．Define and put into words your children’s emotions.
C．However, it is never acceptable to show aggressive behaviors.
D．Teach them how to handle those feelings instead of avoiding them.
E．This way you can show them that it’s sometimes okay to have big feelings.
F．Social emotional learning also improves students’ attitudes towards school.
G．Improving mathematical and problem-solving skills will also support children’s social emotional development.
【答案】36．B    37．E   38．D    39．C   40．G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本篇主要介绍了几种可以帮助孩子提高社交情绪学习的方法。
36．由该题为段落小标题，可知为概括该段内容。该段下文“If they are crying, tell them “You look sad” or “It looks like you are mad right now.” This way you can reflect their emotions to them with words and help them understand and express their emotions too.”（如果他们在哭，告诉他们“你看起来很伤心”或“你现在看起来很生气。”这样你就可以用语言向他们反映他们的情绪，帮助他们理解和表达他们的情绪。）可知，主要讲的是用语言向他们反映他们的情绪，结合选项B项Define and put into words your children’s emotions.（定义孩子的情绪，并用语言表达出来。）意思一致，为总结该段内容。故选B项。
37．由该题位于此段句尾，可知为总结该段内容或者与上文内容相关。上文“Approve your children's feelings. Instead of saying “Stop shouting and calm down, it's not a big deal” try to say “I know you are really angry right now but we can talk about it.””（认可孩子的感受。不要说“别吼了，冷静下来，这没什么大不了的”，试着说“我知道你现在真的很生气，但我们可以谈谈。）结合选项E项This way you can show them that it’s sometimes okay to have big feelings.（这样你就可以告诉他们，有时候有强烈的感情是可以接受的。）同样是表达承认孩子情绪的意思，符合语义。故选E项。
38．上文“Give your kid some space and let them experience uncomfortable feelings. Everyone feels alone or bored sometimes.”（给你的孩子一些空间，让他们体验不舒服的感觉。每个人都有感到孤独或无聊的时候。）说明每个人都有困境的时候。下文“This will help them tolerate disturbing feelings and situations going forward.”（这将帮助他们容忍令人不安的感觉和情况。）说明解决的结果。故可推断，空格处内容为如何去处理这些不好的情绪。结合选项D项Teach them how to handle those feelings instead of avoiding them.（教他们如何处理这些情绪，而不是逃避它们。）符合此推断，下文是空格处内容的递进，语意连贯。故选D项。
39．下文“Teach your children that the feeling is normal, but they shouldn’t be screaming loudly in a public area just because they are feeling an emotion as this may make other people uncomfortable.”（告诉你的孩子这种感觉是正常的，但他们不应该仅仅因为他们有某种情绪就在公共场所大声尖叫，因为这可能会让其他人感到不舒服。）可知，主要讲要教孩子认识这种感情是很正常的，但不应该在公共场合大声喊叫，让别人感觉不舒服，所以设空处应该表达不能通过过激举动表达情绪。结合选项C项However, it is never acceptable to show aggressive behaviors.（然而，表现出攻击性的行为是绝对不能接受的。）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
40．上文小标题“Support other cognitive skills.”（支持其他认知技能。）可知，该段主要讲的是和认知技能相关。下文“Scientific educational brain games apps developed by academicians like those at MentaIUP are reliable and beneficial sources to improve cognitive skills.”（由像MentaIUP这样的学者开发的科学益智游戏应用程序是提高认知技能的可靠和有益的来源。）具体说明获得认知技能的来源。结合选项G项Improving mathematical and problem-solving skills will also support children's social emotional development.（提高数学和解决问题的能力也将支持孩子的社会情感发展。）可知，G句中的“mathematic and problem-solving skills”可以对应设空处前句中的“cognitive skills”，下文具体说明获得认知技能的来源，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。

【答案】
56．celebrated    57．mainly    58．stories    59．comes    60．were added    61．that    62．a    63．to sing    64．have been held    65．as
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了传统节日上巳节的情况。
56．考查过去分词。句意：上巳节是中国古代的一个节日，在农历三月初三庆祝。句中谓语是is，空格处用非谓语动词，festival和celebrate之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填celebrated。
57．考查副词。句意：这是中国少数民族的节日，主要是为了驱除邪灵和自然灾害。空格处用副词mainly修饰动词observed，mainly意为“主要”，故填mainly。
58．考查名词的复数。句意：关于这个节日的真正起源有很多故事。many后跟名词的复数，故填stories。
59．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：另一些人说，它来自于在河里洗澡以摆脱邪恶的习俗。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填comes。
60．考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：为后人在江畔设宴祈福是汉代增加的。设宴祈福是被增加，句子用被动语态，且由“in the Han Dynasty”可知，句子时态用一般过去时，因此空格处是一般过去时的被动语态，主语“The feast and praying”是复数，因此空格处是were added，故填were added。
61．考查强调句。句意：魏晋以后，这一事件发展成为三月三。由“It was”和句意可知，句子是强调句，结构是“it is/was+被强调的部分+that/who+其他部分”，被强调的是“after the Wei and Jin dynasties”，是时间，因此空格处是that，故填that。
62．考查冠词。句意：明清以后，春游发展为徒步旅行和听唱诗班音乐等活动。outing是可数名词，且表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，spring是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
63．考查不定式。句意：对壮族来说，3月3日是年轻人唱歌寻找真爱的节日。it is a festival for sb. to do意为“是某人做某事的节日”，因此空格处是不定式，故填to sing。
64．考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：自1983年起，广西各地每年都在这一天举行歌唱活动。由“Since 1983”可知，句子时态用现在完成时，且节日活动是被举行，因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态，主语festivals是复数，因此空格处是have been held，故填have been held。
65．考查介词。句意：壮族人认为大米有益健康，彩绘鸡蛋被视为爱情的象征。sth. be seen as是固定短语，意为“某物被认为是……”，因此空格处用介词as，表示“作为”，故填as。

第二节(满分25分)【江苏省百校联考2022-2023学年高三上学期第一次考试】
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。
I’m from the fishing town of Kinsale, in Ireland. Life is pretty good there, but Dubai caught my attention when I was 18. I moved there myself 10 years ago as a 30-year-old film-maker. It’s been a wild ride, full of chaos and wonder.
My wife, Christine, lives here with me; when her sister Angela came to visit in April this year, the three of us set off in my pickup truck. It was a cloudless day, touching 40 ℃. The heat and humidity were violent, so we had to sightsee from the car.
We took the scenic route between Dubai and Ras al-Khaimah, a charming city in the north. A year earlier, while off-roading with a friend, I got stuck at a water crossing there, at the only inlet on the coast, where the sea flows into a swampy lagoon (咸水湖). I had to be rescued, and learned how quickly the tide (潮水) could come in.
Christine spotted what looked like the Loch Ness monster stuck in the sand. We decided to investigate and drove up to where the sand met the lagoon. It was a camel, not moving.
Since relocating here, I have always kept a shovel, rope, torches and knives in my car—getting stuck in the desert can be debilitating (耗费体力的).
I got out my shovel and approached the camel. It was a female; we nicknamed her Stucky. It looked as if she had been trapped for hours—she was in quite deep. I’ve been around camels a lot in Dubai; they are massive. They can be friendly, but they can also be fierce. I approached Stucky slowly and started to gently dig away the sand around her. I kept patting her. I knew if she swung her head around quickly, she could injure herself, or me.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Christine filmed my rescue attempt and posted photos on social media.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Luckily, at that point, a pickup arrived carrying 7 guys with all sorts of apparatus(装备).
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Christine filmed my rescue attempt and posted photos on social media. Angela gave Stucky water. I focused on digging out her back legs. When I tried to wipe the sweat from my eyes, I would get sand in them. An hour later, we still weren’t making much progress—whenever we nearly freed a leg, which took about 20 minutes, she would get sucked back into the sand. And the more she struggled to get free, the more stuck she became. We were worried it would get dark and the tide would come in.
Luckily, at that point, a pickup arrived carrying 7 guys with all sorts of apparatus (装备). Someone saw posted photos of the camel rescue on social media. Word then quickly spread to the small farms a few kilometres away. They joined in and worked super-hard. Everyone was working on all four of the camel’s legs at the same time, using different techniques. When we finally got her out, Stucky’s legs were effectively dead. Then the guys massaged her legs to get the blood flowing. It took about 20 minutes for her to stand. Then she turned, stretched and gave us a wink goodbye.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和妻子以及妻子的姐姐一起在迪拜旅行，旅行途中遇到一只骆驼被困在沙滩中，作者奋力救助这只骆驼，但由于骆驼太大，作者耗费了很长时间也没能救出骆驼，作者的妻子把这件事发布到社交媒体上，引来几公里外小农场里的人来帮忙，最终救出被困的骆驼。
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“克里斯汀拍下了我的营救过程并在社交媒体上发布了照片。”可知，第一段可描写作者营救骆驼的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“幸运的是，就在这时，一辆皮卡来了，载着7个人和各种各样的设备。”可知，第二段可描写来人帮忙，和作者共同营救骆驼，最终成功救出骆驼。
2.续写线索：发布在社交媒体上——作者费力营救——没能成功——来人帮忙——成功救出骆驼
