W: Of course.
M: Then I will have a few questions for you.

M: What did she do?
W: When she first arrived at university, she met new people each day, yet still felt a sense of loneliness and disconnected. So, she tried skipping small talk to make big talk, and immediately noticed she was making more meaningful connections with her peers. Encouraged by the reaction, she made a video, where she approached strangers and asked them the question: “What do you want to do before you die?”
M: I have to say you are really well-prepared for next class.

【答案】18. B 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Have you ever wanted to write a letter to someone whose address or name you don’t know? Or perhaps write to someone who has long left this world? The Missing Post Office on Awashima Island in Japan keeps such letters, and it’s open to anyone.
The Missing Post Office was originally part of a contemporary art festival in 2013. It was brought to life by the artist Saya Kubota. She came up with the idea as she walked along the island’s coast and noticed many things floating on the sea.
The Missing Post Office is meant to be the destination of all letters addressed to those unable to receive them. Once letters arrive at the post office, they are placed in one of several tin boxes that are hanging by a wire. They appear to float in the air. They were designed to make wave-like sounds, in keeping with the post office’s drifting theme. On the second and fourth Saturday of each month, visitors can read the various letters and post cards, write their own to leave behind and even bring one home if they feel certain that it’s addressed to them. Please note that posted letters cannot be returned to the sender.

Most of the action is centred on Ban Josip Jelacic Square, which has a history of more than 3 centuries, and European Square.

【23題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章“Zagreb, Croatia”部分的“The recommended hotel: President Pantovcak — Doubles: ￡200 (a parent and a kid with a 10% discount)(推薦酒店： President Pantovcak —— 雙人間：200英鎊（一位家長(zhǎng)和一個(gè)孩子享有10%的優(yōu)惠）)”可知，在President Pantovcak酒店一位家長(zhǎng)和一個(gè)孩子的費(fèi)用是200*(1-10%)=180英鎊；根據(jù)“Malaga, Spain”部分的“The recommended hotel: Room Mate Larios — Doubles: ￡250 (a parent and a kid with a 20% discount) (推薦酒店：Room Mate Larios —— 雙人間：250英鎊（一位家長(zhǎng)帶一個(gè)孩子享有20%的優(yōu)惠）)”可知在Room Mate Larios酒店一位家長(zhǎng)和一個(gè)孩子的費(fèi)用是250*(1-20%)=200英鎊；根據(jù)“Le Touquet, France”部分的“The recommended hotel: Hotel Bristol — Doubles: ￡180 (a parent and a kid with a 10% discount) (推薦酒店：Bristol酒店 —— 雙人間：180英鎊（一位家長(zhǎng)帶一個(gè)孩子享有10%的優(yōu)惠）)”可知在Brisol酒店一位家長(zhǎng)和一個(gè)孩子的費(fèi)用是180*(1-10%)=162英鎊；根據(jù)“Aarhus, Denmark”部分的“The recommended hotel: The Mayor Hotel — Doubles: ￡200 (a parent and a kid with a 20% discount) (推薦酒店：The Mayor —— 雙人間：200英鎊（一位家長(zhǎng)帶一個(gè)孩子優(yōu)惠20%）)”可知在The Mayor Hotel酒店一位家長(zhǎng)和一個(gè)孩子的費(fèi)用是200*(1-20%)=160英鎊。由此可知，Mayor酒店對(duì)一位家長(zhǎng)帶一個(gè)孩子來說費(fèi)用最低。故選D。

Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted, “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man looked to be in his 60s. He was heavyset, balding, and missing a few teeth. He laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral to go. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”
Few minutes later, the man, named Edward, took a seat on a red chair moved down from Steller’s car, and she trimmed his curly graying hair. He told her about growing up in Mississippi, about moving to Minnesota to be closer to his children, and how he still often phoned his mom. After Steller was done, Edward looked in a mirror. “Wow, I look good!” he grinned.
To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. She is keenly aware of the power of her cleanup job. “It’s more than a haircut,” she says.
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers. As a teen, she suffered from a severe bowel disease and her hair thinned drastically. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut.
“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon. Soon after finishing cosmetology (美容) school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets.
“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked,” she says. “I thought maybe I can’t fix their problems, but I can help them feel less alone sometimes.”
24. Which of the following best describes Edward?
A. He related everything to Steller.
B. He lived with his mom in Mississippi.
C. He was satisfied with his new haircut.
D He sat by the roadside asking for a haircut.
25. What do we know about the free haircuts?
A. They made people full of power.
B. They helped people solve their problems.
C. They conveyed care and love to people in need.
D. They made Steller’s salon obtain good reputation.
26. What inspired Stellar to start her Red Chair Project?
A. Her wish to talk to people.
B. Her personal experience in her teens.
C. Her mother’s encouragement.
D. Her ambition to start a unique salon.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Special Hair-dresser B. Edward’s Free Haircut
C. An Amazing Encounter D. More Than a Free Haircut
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】

“You can come in here at eight o’clock at night to pick up mail,says Trevor Braun, boasting about the post office inside Elmore Store in rural Vermont. A recent Monday saw a steady stream of locals pop in to pick up their post, send packages and buy groceries. The shop and its post office have been at the centre of the small community, since they opened in the early 1800s. But that may soon change.
After the shop’s longtime owner retired, the United States Postal Service(USPS) did not automatically renew the contract with the new owner. Although it does nearly everything a post office does? the USPS can shut it with little notice.
Without the post office? many of the 900 residents would be virtually cut off from the world. Much of the area has no mobile-phone coverage. The post office is where many get their news. Locals got the state’s officials to fight to keep their post office. Contract negotiations are now under way.
It is not just Elmore’s post office that is in jeopardy. The USPS has been in financial trouble for years. Shifts in the way people communicate and pay bills have meant fewer letters in the post. Banking is done electronically and people use social media to send cards, notes and photos. Newspapers increasingly arrive on mobile devices. True, package volume is up because of e-commerce. But the losses are on the opposite.
On February 8th the USPS announced a $ 1.3bn loss in its most recent quarterly results, compared with a $ 288m loss for the same period in 2021. And unlike other federal agencies? the USPS does not receive direct federal funding. It must rely on stamp sales and shipping income.
The USPS cannot afford to wait long for help. Nor can its customers, who include most small businesses and the Social Security Administration, which mails 350m notices a year. About 7m Medicare recipients get at least one medicine through the post. Over 43% of voters cast their votes by mail in 2021. Johnathan Hladik of the Centre for Rural Affairs puts it this way：“If you don’t have the basic equipment like the ability to get dependable mail, small towns like Elmore simply don’t stand a chance.”
28. According to Paragraph 1, what do we know about the post office inside Elmore Store?
A. It allows people to get mail at all times of the day.
B. It wins the praise of Trevor Braun due to its services.
C. It is located at the middle of rural Vermont.
D. It will be changed greatly soon by renovation.
29. What does the phrase “in jeopardy”(Line 1, Para. 4) probably mean?
A. In danger. B. In order. C. In place. D. In vain.
30. Why is the USPS different from other federal agencies ?
A. Because it has suffered the greatest loss in recent quarterly results.
B. Because its financial loss is in excess of $ 288m in 2022.

【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。介紹了埃爾莫爾商店內(nèi)的郵局的現(xiàn)狀。
【28題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“You can come in here at eight o’clock at night to pick up mail, (你可以在晚上八點(diǎn)來到這里取郵件，)”和“boasting about the post office (對(duì)郵局大加贊賞)”可知，埃爾莫爾商店內(nèi)的郵局贏得了特雷弗·布勞恩的贊譽(yù)。B答案中的“wins the praise”與原文意思匹配。故選B。
【29題詳解】
詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第四段中“The USPS has been in financial trouble for years. (美國(guó)郵政局多年來一直陷入財(cái)務(wù)困境。)”可知，美國(guó)郵政局多年來一直陷入財(cái)務(wù)困境。in financial trouble與A答案中的“in danger”表意一致。故選A。
【30題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“And unlike other federal agencies? the USPS does not receive direct federal funding. It must rely on stamp sales and shipping income. (與其他聯(lián)邦機(jī)構(gòu)不同？美國(guó)郵政服務(wù)局不接受聯(lián)邦直接資助。它必須依靠郵票銷售和運(yùn)輸收入。)”可知，與其他聯(lián)邦機(jī)構(gòu)不同，美國(guó)郵政服務(wù)局不能直接獲取聯(lián)邦資金，它必須依賴郵票銷售和航運(yùn)收入。所以美國(guó)郵政服務(wù)局利潤(rùn)有限。C項(xiàng)“Because it does not have any access to federal funding.”說法太絕對(duì)，“does not have any access to federal funding”與文中“does not receive direct federal funding”說法不相符。故選D。
【31題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“The USPS cannot afford to wait long for help. Nor can its customers, who include most small businesses and the Social Security Administration, which mails 350m notices a year. About 7m Medicare recipients get at least one medicine through the post. Over 43% of voters cast their votes by mail in 2021. (美國(guó)郵政局不能等待太久來獲得幫助。它的客戶也不能，包括大多數(shù)小企業(yè)和社會(huì)保障局，該局每年發(fā)送3.5億份通知。大約700萬醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)受助人通過該職位獲得至少一種藥物。)”可知，該段強(qiáng)調(diào)美國(guó)郵政服務(wù)局對(duì)于其客戶的重要性。并引用人物話語“If you don’t have the basic equipment like the ability to get dependable mail, small towns like Elmore simply don’t stand a chance. (如果你沒有獲得可靠郵件的能力這樣的基本設(shè)備，像埃爾莫爾這樣的小鎮(zhèn)根本就沒有機(jī)會(huì)。)”以說明埃爾莫爾請(qǐng)求保留郵局的原因。故選A。
D
Earthquakes cannot be forecast, but engineers can prepare for them. Seismic-isolation (減震) systems built into the bases of certain buildings in high-risk areas use complex structures of concrete, rubber and metal to reduce quake damage by absorbing the ground’s horizontal movement.
But such adaptations are expensive. Engineer Jian Zhang of the University of California says adding seismic isolation can increase construction costs by up to 20 percent. While these systems might save more than they cost over time, builders in some earthquake-prone (地震多發(fā)的) regions may not have the budget for them in advance.
A new seismic-isolation method uses the physics of rolling to create a simpler, lower-cost alternative with readily available materials: recycled tennis balls.
Zurich seismic engineer Michalis Vassiliou, team based its method on an early form of seismic isolation that rolls a shaking building to a stop the way a skater in a half-pipe eventually comes to rest. By separating a building from the ground with a layer of spheres (球體) in a certain shape, rolling isolation transforms horizontal shaking into a gentle rocking motion and uses friction to further restrain the movement. This method was used in 5,000-year-old Peruvian pyramids, but today builders favor expensive, standardized isolation systems.
For their modern rolling seismic isolation, the researchers injected cement-like mixes into hundreds of balls that had lost their bounce. They built an inexpensive model consisting of four filled tennis balls sandwiched between two concrete layers, and they found it supported eight kilonewtons of force per ball-about twice what isolation systems might experience under one-story houses.
Zhang says the work is worthwhile and that such technology might serve an unmet need. But she notes that the results are primary, which Vassiliou agrees; next steps will mean creating and testing a larger model with hundreds of tennis balls at a research center in earthquake-prone Cuba, where such systems could make isolation practicable in ordinary construction.
Vassiliou says he has received funding to field-test the system and partner with scientists on the ground to improve the invention. “For this to actually be implemented,” he adds, “you need to develop it with engineers from low-income countries so that it actually addresses their needs.”
32. According to Paragraphs 1 and 2, which of the following is TRUE of seismic-isolation systems?
A. They can help prevent earthquakes.
B. They absorb vertical movement in the earthquake.
C. They can benefit people and society in a long term.
D. The installation of them is the initial consideration of the builders.
33. For what reason are the 5,000-year-old Peruvian pyramids mentioned?
A. To show the simplicity of early seismic isolation.
B. To show the practicability of early seismic isolation.
C. To show the long history in reducing earthquake damage.
D. To show the inconvenience of old-fashioned seismic-isolation approach.
34. What is the unique feature of the modern rolling seismic isolation compared with the old one?
A. It can stand up to earthquake shaking.
B. It is built and tested in scientific libraries.
C. It has cement-like mixes injected into tennis balls.
D. It uses balls to divide buildings from the ground.
35. What does Vassiliou think of the modern method of rolling seismic isolation?
A. He thinks it still needs a huge amount of money.
B. He thinks it requires cooperation across borders.
C. He thinks it has made much progress in actual use.
D. He thinks it is well worth inventing to meet the need.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. B

【32題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Earthquakes cannot be forecast, but engineers can prepare for them. Seismic-isolation (減震) systems built into the bases of certain buildings in high-risk areas use complex structures of concrete, rubber and metal to reduce quake damage by absorbing the ground’s horizontal movement.(地震無法預(yù)測(cè)，但工程師可以做好準(zhǔn)備。在高風(fēng)險(xiǎn)地區(qū)的某些建筑物基礎(chǔ)上建造的減震系統(tǒng)使用混凝土、橡膠和金屬的復(fù)雜結(jié)構(gòu)，通過吸收地面的水平運(yùn)動(dòng)來減少地震破壞。)”和第二段最后一句中的“While these systems might save more than they cost over time(隨著時(shí)間的推移，這些系統(tǒng)節(jié)省的費(fèi)用可能遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過成本)”可推知，減震系統(tǒng)是長(zhǎng)效的，可以長(zhǎng)期造福人民和社會(huì)。故選C。
【33題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段倒中“By separating a building from the ground with a layer of spheres (球體) in a certain shape, rolling isolation transforms horizontal shaking into a gentle rocking motion and uses friction to further restrain the movement. This method was used in 5,000-year-old Peruvian pyramids,(通過用一層特定形狀球體將建筑物與地面隔開，滾動(dòng)隔震將水平震動(dòng)轉(zhuǎn)化為溫和的搖晃運(yùn)動(dòng)，并利用摩擦進(jìn)一步抑制運(yùn)動(dòng)。這種方法被用于5000年前的秘魯金字塔)”可推知，第四段最后一句中提到有5000年歷史的秘魯金字塔是為了證明早期地震隔離的實(shí)用性。故選B。
【34題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“For their modern rolling seismic isolation, the researchers injected cement-like mixes into hundreds of balls that had lost their bounce. They built an inexpensive model consisting of four filled tennis balls sandwiched between two concrete layers, and they found it supported eight kilonewtons of force per ball-about twice what isolation systems might experience under one-story houses.(為了實(shí)現(xiàn)現(xiàn)代滾動(dòng)隔震，研究人員將水泥狀混合物注入數(shù)百個(gè)失去彈性的球中。他們建造了一個(gè)廉價(jià)的模型，由四個(gè)填充網(wǎng)球夾在兩個(gè)混凝土層之間組成，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)每個(gè)球所承受的力為8千牛頓，大約是一層房屋下隔離系統(tǒng)的兩倍。)”可知，與舊的滾動(dòng)隔震相比，現(xiàn)代滾動(dòng)隔震的獨(dú)特之處在于它將水泥狀混合物注入網(wǎng)球中。故選C。
【35題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中Vassiliou的話“you need to develop it with engineers from low-income countries so that it actually addresses their needs(你需要與低收入國(guó)家的工程師一起開發(fā)它，這樣它才能真正滿足他們的需求)”可知，瓦西里歐認(rèn)為，滾動(dòng)隔震的現(xiàn)代方法需要跨國(guó)合作。故選B。

How to stop glasses fogging up with a face mask
Wearing a mask keeps you safe during the pandemic, but it comes with its own set of challenges. And, one of the biggest drawbacks of wearing a mask is how much your glasses fog up and affect your vision. Taking off your glasses to wipe them clean each time they fog up is not only frustrating, but it can also increase the risk of infection. ____36____Here are some tricks to stop it.
Twist your mask strings.
From the side, once you twist it, the strings will look like the figure eight. This is great for stopping fogging because it redirects your breath by putting slight downward pressure on the top part of the mask. ____37____. This may leave you infected by virus.
Wash your glasses with soap.
If you wash your glasses with soap, this creates a thin film on your lenses which limits fogging. Use a fragrance-free soap and mix it with warm water. ____38____ , and let them air dry. When you wear your glasses next, soap molecules on your lenses should block fogging.
Use tissues.
You can put a tissue under the top part of the mask. ____39____To do this DIY trick properly, you should fold a tissue in half and place the straight edge along the bridge of your nose.
Change the position of your masks and glasses.
____40____ But if you do this there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, you need to make sure that your mask still covers your chin (下巴) after you pull it up. And, if your prescription (解決方案) is stronger, this trick could impact your vision and cause increased blurriness (模糊強(qiáng)度).
A. Put your glasses in it
B. Wash your glasses with a soap
C. It will help catch air and damp, keeping your glasses free of fog
D. So the key is to prevent or minimize fogging due to face masks
E. Cover your chin with masks to prevent the need for re-positioning when talking
F. Though, it’s worth noting that it does create a slight gap between the mask and your face
G. Pull up your mask and draw your glasses down, blocking your breath from rising upwards
【答案】36. D 37. F 38. A 39. C 40. G

【56題詳解】
考查一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)和主謂一致。句意：根據(jù)一些學(xué)術(shù)研究，糖畫可以追溯到明朝，當(dāng)時(shí)在宗教儀式中，作為祭品的一部分，糖畫動(dòng)物和人物用模具制作。此處描述客觀事實(shí)，所以應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。主語sugar painting為第三人稱單數(shù)。故填dates。
【57題詳解】
考查一般過去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)。句意：生產(chǎn)技術(shù)得到了升級(jí)，圖案變得更加多樣，其中大多數(shù)代表著好運(yùn)，如魚、龍和猴。根據(jù)“the patterns became more various”可知，此處應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí)。動(dòng)詞upgrade意為“升級(jí)”，和主語構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系。主語techniques為復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填were upgraded。
【58題詳解】
考查定語從句。句意：生產(chǎn)技術(shù)得到了升級(jí)，圖案變得更加多樣，其中大多數(shù)代表著好運(yùn)，如魚、龍和猴。在非限制性定語從句中缺少介詞of的賓語，且先行詞為patterns，所以應(yīng)用關(guān)系代詞which。故填which。
【59題詳解】
考查過去分詞。句意：后來，四川的民間藝術(shù)家通過增加中國(guó)皮影和中國(guó)剪紙的技術(shù)發(fā)展了這門藝術(shù)，用小青銅勺代替了模具。動(dòng)詞replace意為“代替”，和謂語之間沒有連詞，和邏輯主語moulds構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系，且動(dòng)作已完成，所以應(yīng)用過去分詞形式。故填replaced。
【60題詳解】
考查副詞。句意：隨著時(shí)間的推移，當(dāng)代糖畫形式逐漸演變。pass by意為“（時(shí)間）推移”，為固定搭配，所以此處應(yīng)用介詞by表示“經(jīng)過”。故填by。
【61題詳解】
考查副詞。句意：盡管糖畫師的數(shù)量顯著減少，但由于其獨(dú)特的魅力，一定數(shù)量的藝術(shù)家正在努力通過舉辦課程、舉辦糖畫比賽等相關(guān)活動(dòng)并申請(qǐng)加入國(guó)家非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄來保護(hù)糖畫。修飾動(dòng)詞decreased應(yīng)用副詞remarkably表示“顯著地”作狀語，故填remarkably。
【62題詳解】
考查冠詞。句意：盡管糖畫師的數(shù)量顯著減少，但由于其獨(dú)特的魅力，一定數(shù)量的藝術(shù)家正在努力通過舉辦課程、舉辦糖畫比賽等相關(guān)活動(dòng)并申請(qǐng)加入國(guó)家非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄來保護(hù)糖畫。根據(jù)系動(dòng)詞are可知，此處是指一定數(shù)量的藝術(shù)家，a number of意為“大量的”，為固定搭配，所以此處應(yīng)用冠詞a。故填a。
【63題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞不定式。句意：盡管糖畫師的數(shù)量顯著減少，但由于其獨(dú)特的魅力，一定數(shù)量的藝術(shù)家正在努力通過舉辦課程、舉辦糖畫比賽等相關(guān)活動(dòng)并申請(qǐng)加入國(guó)家非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄來保護(hù)糖畫。做出努力的目的是保護(hù)糖畫，所以應(yīng)用to do不定式作目的狀語。故填to preserve。
【64題詳解】
考查可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)。句意：盡管糖畫師的數(shù)量顯著減少，但由于其獨(dú)特的魅力，一定數(shù)量的藝術(shù)家正在努力通過舉辦課程、舉辦糖畫比賽等相關(guān)活動(dòng)并申請(qǐng)加入國(guó)家非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)名錄來保護(hù)糖畫。根據(jù)“such as sugar painting contests”可知，此處是指很多活動(dòng)，activity意為“活動(dòng)”，為可數(shù)名詞，所以應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填activities。
【65題詳解】
考查名詞。句意：此外，糖畫藝術(shù)家獲得了越來越多的認(rèn)可。此處應(yīng)用名詞recognition表示“認(rèn)可”作賓語。故填recognition。

67. 閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的故事。
When I was about six years old, my family and I went to Disneyland one weekend and had a wonderful day full of excitement. Little did I know that the real excitement wasn’t to begin until that night.
While we watched the fireworks, I began to get an urge to go to the restroom, but I didn’t want to miss the show. I overheard my sister Isabel talking to my mom, and I got closer to them to hear what they were talking about.
“Mom, I’m going to the bathroom with Lizette, okay?” said Isabel.
“Okay,” my mom replied, “but stay together. I don’t want any of you getting lost. ”
The second I saw my sisters leaving, I didn’t think twice before running after them—without telling my parents. As I followed them through the huge crowd of people, I started to lose sight of them. I began to panic as I scanned the crowd for them. Crazy thoughts ran through my head like “What if I never see my family again?”
I gave up trying to find my sisters and tried to get back to my family, but I was completely mixed up. After searching for what seemed like forever, I couldn’t hold back my tears, and I started crying like I had never cried before.
“Mommy!” I cried out. But everyone around me was too caught up by the fireworks to pay any attention to me.
I tried to stop the scary thoughts that were going through my head and started running as fast as I could...anywhere...everywhere. I was going crazy. I’m only six, and I’ve gotten lost. “What have I done? How could I have been so dumb to run off without telling anyone?” I thought.
With my face wet from tears, I kept running, pulling at people’s pants and crying, “Mommy!” I was hoping, wishing, that one of these adults would be one of my parents.
注意：
1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2. 請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Luckily, I felt a pat on my shoulder and a gentle voice came, “Are you lost?”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, through the crowd of people, I recognized a face.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Luckily, I felt a pat on my shoulder and a gentle voice came, “Are you lost”? “Yeeesss!” I cried. It was a lady working at Disney. She picked me up and carried me through the crowd as she kept asking me where my parents had been standing. As I began to feel safe in the lady’s arms, I calmed down and thought for a few minutes. I remembered we had been leaning against a wooden fence. She carried me around the wooden fence, asking random people, “Is this your child?” “No. Sorry,” everyone kept saying. You’re sorry? Look at me. I’m looking for my mommy, I thought.
Finally, through the crowd of people, I recognized a face. I was so happy. “Mommy!” I shouted as I pointed toward her so the lady could carry me to her. When the lady put me down, I ran to my mom and gave her a huge hug. I couldn’t let go of her. I didn’t want to lose her again. As I cried in my mother’s arms, my family thanked the nice lady for everything she had done for me. For the rest of the evening and the entire next day, I was more concerned with making sure that my parents were within my sight at all times than I was with seeing the sights at Disneyland. I look back at these memories and laugh at myself, but to this day, I always make sure to tell someone where I am going before I run off.
