Bike-friendly cities around the world
Cycling is kind to the environment so it is an excellent way to take in the city. Here are 4bike-friendly cities having adopted this green mode of transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Montréal, Canada
Montréal has already established protected bike paths since the 1980s. BIXI is the city’s bike-sharing system with 9, 600 bikes and almost 800 stations. Cyclists can make their visit to the Tour de L’lle Montreal, a yearly bike ride where cyclists take to the streets for a day without any other vehicles being allowed on the roads.
Malm , Sweden
Cycling in Malm is enjoyable due to the relaxed and easy-going manner of most cyclists. The calming atmosphere makes it a great experience, even for nervous riders. A highly recommended bike route is from Ribersborg park to Limhamn Harbour, where riders can take a few good photos of the famous Oresund Bridge.
Beijing, China
In the 1970s, bicycles were the main mode of transportation for people in Beijing. However, dedicated (专用的) cycle paths for cyclists were limited. Only in May 2019, did the city launch its first specific cycle path. This achievement in cycling facility is worth a shout-out for a city with over 21 million people.
Bogota, Colombia
Bogota first introduced the concept of cycle path in 1974. The idea sees cars being banned from city roads every Sunday from 7 a.m.to 2 p.m., helping cyclists, runners and walkers exercise safely. Since then, the city has slowly but steadily expanded the program, including setting up dedicated cycle paths. As a result, Bogota now has 550km of bike paths and is the most bike-friendly city in Latin America.
1. What make(s)Montréal different from other cities

B. The oldest protected bike paths.
C. An annual bicycle event.
D. The most calming effect on cyclists.
2. Which city will attract cyclists interested in photography

3. What do Beijing and Bogota have in common
A. Improvement in cycling facility.
B. Shift in primary means of transportation.

B
Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,a distance of about eighty miles.It was late.Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left,and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open road,I came to a crossing with a traffic light.I was alone on the road by now,but as I drove near the light,it turned red and I made a stop.I looked left,right and behind me.Nothing.Not a car,no suggestion of car lamps,but there I sat,waiting for the light to change,the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught,because there was clearly no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night,the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me.I think I stopped because it's part of a contract we all have with each other.It's not only the law,but it's an agreement we have,and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination（倾向）.Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us.The whole construction of our society depends on mutual（相互的）trust,not distrust.We do what we say we'll do,we show up when we say we'll show up;and we pay when we say we'll pay.We trust each other in these matters,and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.
4. Why did the author get impatient while driving
A. He was lonely on the road. B. He was slowed down by a truck.
C. He got tired of driving too long. D. He came across too many traffic lights.
5. What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red
A. Stopping still. B. Driving through it.
C. Looking around for other cars. D. Cheeking out for traffic police.
6. The event made the author strongly believe that .
A. traffic rules may be unnecessary B. doubting others is human nature
C. patience is important to drivers D. a society needs mutual trust
7. Why was the author proud of himself
A. He kept his promise. B. He held back his anger.
C. He followed his inclination. D. He made a right decision.
C
During the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, there was a lot of talk about the environmental efforts taken. Athletes slept on beds made from recycled cardboard. The medals were produced out of old appliances such as smartphones and laptops. Over 90% of Japanese cities, towns and villages participated in the two-year effort to collect recycled materials to produce 5000 medals. Eighty tons of small electrical devices were collected to make this project successful.
With the 2024 Olympics Games underway in Paris, new environmental efforts are coming into play. Observers will sit on chairs made of plastic recycled from local bins. This decision was made due to a lack of unused raw materials to make new seats, so the eco-construction firm Le Pave turned to make the seats out of waste. Around 11,000 seats will be made from recycled materials.
The plastic collection for Paris 2024 has been carried out in the region’s schools, and over five million coloured bottle caps have been recovered. Moreover, 80% of the 100 tons of recycled plastic needed to make the seats come from the yellow bins collections. This is all part of the Paris 2024 “zero waste” strategy to limit single-use plastic usage and encourage a circular economy.
The Olympic Games organizers are planning to make the Paris 2024 Games the greenest Olympic Games yet. They intend to employ a carbon-neutral approach that will lessen the climate impact of the Games by predicting, avoiding, reducing and balancing emissions and encouraging others to get involved. The Summer Games have emitted 3.6 million tons of carbon emissions in previous years. The Paris 2024 Games has set a carbon budget of 1.5 million tons which includes the emissions from construction, transportation and operations of the Games.
These plans are ambitious but are achievable. If Paris 2024 successfully reduces emissions and promotes a circular economy, it might set the standard for future Olympic and Paralympic Games, regardless of where they are held.
8. What were the 2020 Olympics medals made from
A. Raw metal. B. Recycled cardboard.
C. Reused plastic. D. Used electronic devices.
9. What is the purpose of the Paris 2024 “zero waste” strategy
A. To stop carbon emissions. B. To make seats for athletes.
C. To collect coloured bottle caps. D. To restrict single-use plastic usage.
10. What do the underlined words “carbon neutral approach” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Limitation to single-use plastics. B. Reduction of carbon emissions.
C. Promotion of recycling in school. D. Encouragement of a circular economy.
11 What is the author’s attitude to the plans for the Paris 2024 Games
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
D
Science can’t explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people — half of them pet owners — while they performed 5minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松) around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall — mostly with their dogs — and found it worth doing.
12. What does the text mainly discuss
A. What pets bring to their owners
B. How pets help people calm down
C. People’s opinions of keeping pets.
D. Pet’s value in medical research.
13. We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if________.
A. he has a pet companion
B. he has less stress of work
C. he often does mental arithmetic
D. he is taken care of by his family
14. According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks
A. They have lower blood pressure.
B. They become more patient.
C. They are less nervous.
D. They are in higher spirits.
15. The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that______.
A. people with dogs did more exercise
B. dogs lost the same weight as people did
C. dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D. people without dogs found the program unhelpful

One fall,my wife Elli and I had a single goal:to photograph polar bears.We were staying at a research camp outside"the polar bear capital of the world”－the town of Churchill in Manitoba, Canada.
Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous.Polar bears-like all wild animals－should be photographed from a safe distance.When I'm face to face with a polar bear,I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens.But sometimes,that is easier said than done.This was one of those times.
As Elli and I cooked dinner,a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed, and smelled our garlic bread.
The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp,which was surrounded by a high wire fence.He pulled and bit the wire.He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.
Terrified,Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew.We yelled at the bear,hit pots hard, and fired blank shotgun shells into the air Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off.Not this polar bear though-he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子）
I radioed the camp manager for help.He told me a helicopter was on its way,but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived.Making the best of this close encounter(相遇），I took some pictures or the bear.
Eilt and I feared the fence wouldn't last through 30 more minutes of the bear's punishment.The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray.The spray burns the bears' eyes,but doesn't hurt them. So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and.through the fence,sprayed him in the face.With an angry roar(吼叫），the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes.
Para 1.
A few minutes later,the bear headed back to our camp.
Para 2.
At that very momentthe helicopter arrived.资中二中高2025级英语12月月考

Montréal has already established protected bike paths since the 1980s. BIXI is the city’s bike-sharing system with 9, 600 bikes and almost 800 stations. Cyclists can make their visit to the Tour de L’lle Montreal, a yearly bike ride where cyclists take to the streets for a day without any other vehicles being allowed on the roads.

【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个采用绿色交通方式来减少温室气体排放的自行车友好型城市。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Montréal, Canada中的“Cyclists can make their visit to the Tour de L’lle Montreal, a yearly bike ride where cyclists take to the streets for a day without any other vehicles being allowed on the roads. (骑自行车的人可以去参加环蒙特利尔自行车赛，这是一年一度的自行车比赛，骑自行车的人在街上骑行一天，其他车辆都不允许上路。)”可知蒙特利尔有一年一度的自行车活动，而其他城市没有提到这样的骑自行车活动。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Malm , Sweden中的“A highly recommended bike route is from Ribersborg park to Limhamn Harbour, where riders can take a few good photos of the famous Oresund Bridge. (强烈推荐从里伯斯堡公园到利哈姆港的自行车路线，在那里骑车者可以拍几张著名的厄勒海峡大桥的好照片。)”可知Malm 会吸引对摄影感兴趣的骑行者，故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Beijing, China中的“Only in May 2019, did the city launch its first specific cycle path. This achievement in cycling facility is worth a shout-out for a city with over 21 million people. (直到2019年5月，该市才推出了第一条专门的自行车道。对于一个拥有2100多万人口的城市来说，自行车设施的成就值得欢呼。)”和根据Bogota, Colombia中的“Bogota first introduced the concept of cycle path in 1974. The idea sees cars being banned from city roads every Sunday from 7 a.m.to 2 p.m., helping cyclists, runners and walkers exercise safely. Since then, the city has slowly but steadily expanded the program, including setting up dedicated cycle paths. (波哥大于1974年首次引入了自行车道的概念。根据这一想法，每周日早上7点到下午2点，城市道路上禁止汽车行驶，以帮助骑自行车、跑步和步行的人安全锻炼。从那时起，该市缓慢但稳步地扩大了这一计划，包括建立专用的自行车道。)”可知北京和波哥大都进行了自行车设施的改善。故选A。
B
Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,a distance of about eighty miles.It was late.Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left,and I became increasingly impatient.
At one point along an open roadI came to a crossing with a traffic light.I was alone on the road by now,but as I drove near the light,it turned red and I made a stop.I looked left,right and behind me.Nothing.Not a car,no suggestion of car lamps,but there I sat,waiting for the light to change,the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught,because there was clearly no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night,the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me.I think I stopped because it's part of a contract we all have with each other.It's not only the law,but it's an agreement we have,and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.
Trust is our first inclination（倾向）.Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us.The whole construction of our society depends on mutual（相互的）trust,not distrust.We do what we say we'll do,we show up when we say we'll show up;and we pay when we say we'll pay.We trust each other in these matters,and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

During the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, there was a lot of talk about the environmental efforts taken. Athletes slept on beds made from recycled cardboard. The medals were produced out of old appliances such as smartphones and laptops. Over 90% of Japanese cities, towns and villages participated in the two-year effort to collect recycled materials to produce 5000 medals. Eighty tons of small electrical devices were collected to make this project successful.
With the 2024 Olympics Games underway in Paris, new environmental efforts are coming into play. Observers will sit on chairs made of plastic recycled from local bins. This decision was made due to a lack of unused raw materials to make new seats, so the eco-construction firm Le Pave turned to make the seats out of waste. Around 11,000 seats will be made from recycled materials.
The plastic collection for Paris 2024 has been carried out in the region’s schools, and over five million coloured bottle caps have been recovered. Moreover, 80% of the 100 tons of recycled plastic needed to make the seats come from the yellow bins collections. This is all part of the Paris 2024 “zero waste” strategy to limit single-use plastic usage and encourage a circular economy.
The Olympic Games organizers are planning to make the Paris 2024 Games the greenest Olympic Games yet. They intend to employ a carbon-neutral approach that will lessen the climate impact of the Games by predicting, avoiding, reducing and balancing emissions and encouraging others to get involved. The Summer Games have emitted 3.6 million tons of carbon emissions in previous years. The Paris 2024 Games has set a carbon budget of 1.5 million tons which includes the emissions from construction, transportation and operations of the Games.
These plans are ambitious but are achievable. If Paris 2024 successfully reduces emissions and promotes a circular economy it might set the standard for future Olympic and Paralympic Games, regardless of where they are held.
8. What were the 2020 Olympics medals made from
A. Raw metal. B. Recycled cardboard.
C. Reused plastic. D. Used electronic devices.
9. What is the purpose of the Paris 2024 “zero waste” strategy
A. To stop carbon emissions. B. To make seats for athletes.
C. To collect coloured bottle caps. D. To restrict single-use plastic usage.
10. What do the underlined words “carbon neutral approach” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Limitation to single-use plastics. B. Reduction of carbon emissions.
C. Promotion of recycling in school. D. Encouragement of a circular economy.
11. What is the author’s attitude to the plans for the Paris 2024 Games
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.

Science can’t explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people — half of them pet owners — while they performed 5minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松) around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall — mostly with their dogs — and found it worth doing.
12. What does the text mainly discuss
A. What pets bring to their owners
B. How pets help people calm down
C. People’s opinions of keeping pets.
D. Pet’s value in medical research.
13. We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if________.
A. he has a pet companion
B. he has less stress of work
C. he often does mental arithmetic
D. he is taken care of by his family
14. According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks
A. They have lower blood pressure.
B. They become more patient.
C. They are less nervous.
D. They are in higher spirits.
15. The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that______.
A. people with dogs did more exercise
B. dogs lost the same weight as people did
C. dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D. people without dogs found the program unhelpful
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. A

Highly successful people don’t become successful overnight, and if they do, chances are that they don’t stay at the top without good daily habits to keep them on track. You may ask what those daily habits are. ____16____
Make a daily to-do list.
Successful people are busy. Just how do they keep track of what needs doing in their personal and business life ____17____ You may stress about the small things, while you actually need to be focusing on the bigger responsibilities. So to help set you up for success, make a to-do list every day.
____18____
You may live a highly sedentary(久坐不动的) lifestyle, and this isn’t good for your health. When you are in pain or sick, going after success becomes even more challenging than when you are healthy and able. Successful people know that a healthy body is equal to a healthy mind. So get moving. Choose the stairs, park further away and walk to the grocery store, or make sure you work out at least once a day.
Work toward small milestones(里程碑).
It’s the small milestones that set you up to reach your goal or achieve success. So while you should keep the big picture in mind, keep working toward the smaller goals, too. ____19____ If you want to write a novel, ensure you write 100—300 words a day.
Spend quality time with those who matter.
____20____ They have people in their inner circle who matter to them. Quality time with your loved ones such as family and friends helps fill your cup and feed your soul, which gives you the strength to keep going and go after your dreams of success.

C. Highly successful people don’t just work.

【解析】

【17题详解】
上一句“Just how do they keep track of what needs doing in their personal and business life (他们是如何了解个人生活和工作中需要做什么呢 )”是一个问句，故设空会给出相应的回答，选项B“The answer is quite simple: a to-do list.(答案很简单：一张待办事项清单。)”符合分析，且句中“to-do list”呼应小标题“Make a daily to-do list.(列一个每天待办事项清单。)”。故选B项。
【18题详解】
设空句为该段的小标题，应是中心主旨句。根据下文内容“When you are in pain or sick, going after success becomes even more challenging than when you are healthy and able. Successful people know that a healthy body is equal to a healthy mind.(当你痛苦或生病时，追求成功比你健康和有能力时更具挑战性。成功人士知道健康的身体等于健康的思想。)”可知，本段提到成功人士很注重健康，因为这是获得成功的必要条件，由此可推知，本段主要建议读者要摈弃久坐不动的生活方式，要动起来。选项A“Get active.(变得活跃，动起来。)”可以概括本段内容。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据本段的小标题“Work toward small milestones.(朝着小的里程碑努力。)”可知，该段强调“小进步，小目标”的重要性。选项E“Your daily habit is to spend time on these small goals.(你的日常习惯是把时间花在这些小目标上。)”中“these small goals”呼应主题，且与上文“So while you should keep the big picture in mind, keep working toward the smaller goals, too.(所以，当你在脑海中保持大的画面时，也要朝着小的目标努力。)”在句意上衔接紧密。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据本段小标题“Spend quality time with those who matter.(花时间和重要的人在一起。)”可知，本段强调的是成功人士的时间分配，因此，设空应该对标题句进行进一步的解释，即，成功人士除工作时间外，还有与重要的人的共度时间，选项C“Highly successful people don’t just work.(成功人士不只是工作。)”在句意是对标题的解释，且句中“Highly successful people”与下文“They have people in their inner circle who matter to them.(他们的核心圈子里有对他们很重要的人。)”主语“They”相呼应。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了从消极的情况中看到积极的一面事实上是有用的，一项研究表明幽默地看待挑战可能有助于防止抑郁的人感到悲伤，也有利于培养控制负面情绪的能力。
【36题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：“看到光明的一面”是人们总是认为鼓舞人心但不那么有用的建议之一。分析句子可知，空处被those修饰，作介词of的宾语，因此应用suggest的名词形式suggestion，意为“建议”，且此处表示“那些建议”，suggestion应用复数形式。故填suggestions。
【37题详解】
考查固定句型。句意：然而，新的研究表明，在糟糕的情况下找到一些有趣的事情会让人们更容易停止抱怨。根据空前的“makes”和空后的“easy for people to stop complaining”可推知，此处用固定句型“make it+形容词+for sb. to do sth.”，意为“让做某事对于某人来说……”，空处应用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式短语。故填it。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：此外，幽默地看待挑战是一个很好的方法，这甚至可能有助于防止焦虑的人感到悲伤。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，对先行词looking at a challenge with humor a good method进行补充说明，先行词指前面的句子，从句中缺少主语，因此应用关系代词which作引导词。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：此外，幽默地看待挑战是一个很好的方法，这甚至可能有助于防止焦虑的人感到悲伤。根据空前的“preventing anxious people”和空后的“feeling sad”可知，此处用固定短语prevent sb. from doing sth.，意为“防止某人做某事”，因此空处应用from构成该短语。故填from。
【40题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意：在早前发表的一项研究中，研究人员给了参与者一些表现消极情况的照片。空前的“much”常用于修饰比较级，此处表示相对于当前更早的时间，因此空处应用early的比较级形式。故填earlier。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：然后他们根据研究者的要求对这些照片进行描述。结合语境可知，空处表示特指，指来自实验中研究者的特定要求，因此空处应用定冠词the。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：研究发现，与直接描述照片的人相比，那些用幽默语言描述照片的人负面情绪更少，更有可能度过生活中的艰难时期。分析句子可知，空处作句子的谓语，此处在叙述过去发生的事情，时态应用一般过去时，find“发现”和主语Those之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，且主语是复数概念，be动词应用were。故填were found。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：研究发现，与直接描述照片的人相比，那些用幽默语言描述照片的人负面情绪更少，更有可能度过生活中的艰难时期。分析句子可知，空处修饰动词described，direct的副词形式directly符合题意，意为“直接地”。故填directly。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这项研究的结论是，对于那些焦虑风险较高的人来说，幽默可以培养他们控制负面情绪的能力。名词ability后通常跟不定式作后置定语，表示“……的能力”，因此空处应用control的不定式形式。故填to control。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：更重要的是，让你周围的人微笑也是幽默的一个额外好处。分析句子可知，空处和空后的others around you smile搭配，作句子的主语，是非谓语动词，且此处介绍的是一件已知的经验，因此应用make的动名词形式。故填making。

【答案】Saving the Wildlife
In the last few years, the population of many wild animals has dropped sharply, putting them at the risk of extinction, which triggers great concern in society.
Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the wildlife is endangered. In many places where the wildlife can be found, people are destroying their natural habitats, leaving them nowhere to live. Additionally, illegal hunting and trading are to blame for their significant drop/decrease in number.
To save the wildlife, it is high time that we took effective measures. For one thing, we’d better plant more trees so as to restore their sweet home. For another, the government is supposed to get tough with the poachers, forbidding/ prohibiting any activity that threatens wild animals.
In a shared world with a shared future, saving the wildlife is saving ourselves. Let’s contribute every effort to saving them before it is too late!

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。续写的词数应为 150词左右。
One fall,my wife Elli and I had a single goal:to photograph polar bears.We were staying at a research camp outside"the polar bear capital of the world”－the town of Churchill in Manitoba, Canada.
Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous.Polar bears-like all wild animals－should be photographed from a safe distance.When I'm face to face with a polar bear,I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens.But sometimes,that is easier said than done.This was one of those times.
As Elli and I cooked dinner,a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed, and smelled our garlic bread.
The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp,which was surrounded by a high wire fence.He pulled and bit the wire.He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.
Terrified,Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew.We yelled at the bear,hit pots hard, and fired blank shotgun shells into the air Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off.Not this polar bear though-he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子）
I radioed the camp manager for help.He told me a helicopter was on its way,but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived.Making the best of this close encounter(相遇），I took some pictures or the bear.
Eilt and I feared the fence wouldn't last through 30 more minutes of the bear's punishment.The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray.The spray burns the bears' eyes,but doesn't hurt them. So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and.through the fence,sprayed him in the face.With an angry roar(吼叫），the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes.
Para 1.
A few minutes later,the bear headed back to our camp.
Para 2.
At that very moment,the helicopter arrived.
【答案】A few minutes later, the bear headed back to our camp. Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness. The noises turned Elli and I pale with horror. I feared that the giant would destroy our whole fence. He roared repeatedly, shattering what was left of the silence. Elli seized this opportunity to take somepictures of the bear. The animal’s noises echoed all around us. We betrayed our feelings by huddling together, shivering with fear. After thoroughly scrutinizing the area, he trotted forward a few steps.
At that very moment, the helicopter arrived. My heart leaped with joy as I knew we were likely to be saved. Elli used pepper spray again to buy us enough time. But this time the bear became more alert. He regarded us with the merciless necessity of hunger, so we throw all the food we have. He then turned away and started devouring. As we were climbing the rope ladder, Elli prayed like thousand times to show thankfulness of being safe and sound.
【解析】
【分析】本文主要讲述了人与熊对抗，之后成功脱险的故事。
【详解】主人公的感情线变化为：兴奋渴望→惊恐→放松。剧情线以主人公如何与北极熊周旋并成功摆脱它展开。具体思路如下：
由第一段的段首提示句可知：几分钟后，熊又回到营地。接下来可通过场景渲染，描写当时令人颤栗惊恐的画面，例如“Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness.”这不仅合理地描写了熊的反应，也描绘出让人战栗的场景。要注意与第二段首句的衔接。
由第二段的段首提示句可知：此时，直升机到了。如果想要进行续写两段的合理衔接，第一段的结尾可描写成“After thoroughly scrutinizing the area, the bear trotted forward a few steps.”这样可以营造出危急的场景。“我们”看到直升机的到来，感到绝处逢生的喜悦，可以以人物心理描写作为第二段的开头，重点描写喜极而泣的状态，例如“My heart leaped with joy as I knew we were likely to be saved.”最后，结尾部分需要迅速收束，并说明成功逃脱的结局。
【点睛】本文续写内容与原文高度契合，使用了高级词汇和句子，尤其突出的是，场景和心理描写传神到位，如：Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness.，又如He roared repeatedly, shattering what was left of the silence.，这不仅合理地描写了熊的动作，也渲染出让人战栗的场景，让读者有极强的代入感；再如As we were climbing the rope ladder, Elli prayed like thousand times to show thankfulness of being safe and sound.传神地描绘出了Elli对于绝处逢生感到难以言表的喜悦和对救援的感激之情，等等。
