Nina Wygant, 11, sits in front of a long table in a classroom that looks more like a trendy coffee shop than an elementary school classroom. Some of her fifth-grade classmates at Hopewell Memorial Junior High School sit on high-top chairs at counters. Others choose to sit in club chairs or soft bean bags in comfortable. "I like it because it gives us an environment we like or need to settle down and read a book that we would like to concentrate on instead of having desks and being all quiet," said Vivian Garcia, 10. “You can just space out and have your own little area. I find it very amazing that you can pick your own books instead of being told what to read.”
That’s the end goal, said teacher Heather Shadish. Reading has always been a passion for this English language arts and science teacher, a passion she instills （灌输） in her pupils. Back then, in her literature class in graduate school at Chatham University, a professor read aloud the first chapter of Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo, a Newbery Medalist. "That was the moment I knew I wanted to some day teach reading. There was a spark there. I just felt these are the kind of books I need to share with kids ---the books that are going to make them feel something and make them fall in love with reading instead of reading being a chore.”
But information in children's workbooks is limited, so they open tablets and connect to Epic - a digital library that's free to educators and librarians, but $7.99 a month for parents — giving kids unlimited access to approximately 35,000 books （both print and audio）, quizzes and videos to enhance learning.
“Epic gives students access to information not found in a textbook and presents it in a more interesting way," she said.
4. What does Vivian think of the reading experience?
A. She favors club chairs and free discussion.
B. She feels comfortable to be told what to read.
C. She enjoys the environment and reading choice.
D. She finds it easy to pick a book in a crowded area.
5. What does the underlined word “chore" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Task. B. Process.
C. Habit. D. Skill.
6. What can children get from Epic?
A. Free audio books.
B. Tasks on reading levels.
C. Advice from educators.
D. Useful learning resources.
7. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. A Teacher's New Reading Method
B. Pupils' love of Reading Room
C. Options of Teaching Reading
D. Easy Access to Digital Reading
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。讲述了一位小学老师开创新的阅读教学方法的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中 Vivian 说的“I like it because it gives us an environment we like or need to settle down and read a book that we would like to concentrate on instead of having desks and being all quiet(我喜欢它是因为它给了我们一个我们喜欢或需要静下心来读一本书的环境，而不是坐在桌子边上，保持安静)” 和“You can just space out and have your own little area. I find it very amazing that you can pick your own books instead of being told what to read.( 你可以腾出空间，有你自己的小区域。我发现你可以选择自己的书，而不是被告诉我该读什么是令人惊奇的)”可推断，Vivian享受这里的阅读氛围和阅读选择。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“the books that are going to make them feel something and make them fall in love with reading instead of reading being a chore(这些书会让他们感觉到一些东西，让他们爱上阅读而不是一件chore)”，可知,instead of表示“代替”，因此推断该老师希望学生们爱上阅读而不把阅读当作任务。故划线词与A项“任务”意思相近，故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“a digital library that's free to educators and librarians, but $7.99 a month for parents — giving kids unlimited access to approximately 35,000 books （both print and audio）, quizzes and videos to enhance learning(一个对教育工作者和图书馆员免费的数字图书馆，但家长每月使用费用是7.99美元——让孩子们可以无限制地阅读大约3.5万本书（包括印刷版和音频版）)”可知 Epic 可以给学生提供有用的学习资源。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的“That’s the end goal, said teacher Heather Shadish. Reading has always been a passion for this English language arts and science teacher, a passion she instills （灌输） in her pupils.(“这是最终的目标”，Heather Shadish老师说。阅读一直是这位英语语言艺术和科学老师的一种激情，她向学生们灌输了这种激情。)”以及全文内容可知，本文讲述了小学老师 Heather Shadish 开创新的阅读教学方法的故事。故选 A项。
C
Spain's tourism industry is looking to Chinese tourists for its high-end market, according to Rafael Cascales, president of the Spain-China Tourism Association (ATEC). “It is the kind of tourism that is not only interested in the sun, beach and the “all-included” culture. They enjoy culture, wine, history and nature, and the new Chinese tourists would also want to spend more money in Spain," said Cascales in a recent interview with Xinhua.
“They are younger, more women travel and they are more cosmopolitan (见多识广的).They also travel on their own or in couples or in smaller groups. The old-fashioned large groups of visitors have not disappeared, but this new form of traveling is becoming more important,55 he said.
Speaking of the consumption pattern of the new kind of Chinese tourists, Cascales said, “The money they spend is distributed better because they will book one flight with one airline, the hotel with another company and the restaurant with another.” In his eyes, “Chinese tourists are very important because they combine two things: there are a large number of them and they spend more money than anyone else — almost four times more than tourists from other countries." They not only travel abroad in the summer months when Spain has to compete with the sun and beaches in countries such as Turkey and Egypt, but also travel in the off-peak seasons of a year, according to Cascales.
In 2017, Spain is the second most popular tourist destination in the world, only after France. It attracted about 82 million visitors, 700,000 of them from China, a number which is estimated to rise to about 2.2 million by 2022.
“We are ready; we have the infrastructure (基础设施) at every level, especially in hotel capacity. Here those visitors can find what they are looking for, including the luxury items which distinguish them,” Cascales noted.
8. What are the features of the new Chinese tourists according to Cascales?
A. They are cautious about spending money in Spain.
B. They are likely to travel in smaller groups now.
C. They are only interested in the sun and beach.
D. They are mainly male visitors of middle age.
9. What can we learn about the consumption pattern of new Chinese tourists?
A. They will reserve flights and hotels with different companies.
B. They will spend less money than tourists from other countries.
C. They will travel abroad only during the off-peak seasons.
D. They will spend the money in different cities.
10. What is done to meet the demands of Chinese tourists?
A. Local cultures in Spain are promoted.
B. Well-furnished hotels are provided.
C. Best and expensive items are offered for free.
D. More shopping sites are constructed.
11. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce the tourism industry of Spain.
B. To show Spain's desire to attract Chinese tourists.
C. To describe the features of Chinese tourists.
D. To advertise Spain as a top tourist destination.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了西班牙为了吸引中国游客而做的一些准备工作。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They are younger, more women travel and they are more cosmopolitan (见多识广的). They also travel on their own or in couples or in smaller groups.(他们更年轻，更多的女性喜欢旅行，他们更国际化，也会独自旅行、结伴旅行或跟小团体旅行)”可知，中国游客会单独或结对或以小群体的方式出游。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The money they spend is distributed better because they will book one flight with one airline, the hotel with another company and the restaurant with another.(他们花的钱分配得更好，因为他们可以在一家航空公司订机票，在另一家公司订酒店，在另一家公司订餐厅)”可知，中国游客会在不同的公司预定航班，酒店和餐馆。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We are ready; we have the infrastructure (基础设施) at every level, especially in hotel capacity.(我们已经准备好了；我们在各个层面都有基础设施，特别是在酒店容量方面)”可知，良好的宾馆设施被提供给了中国游客，来满足他们的需求。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。 文章第一段开篇表明西班牙欢迎中国游客，第二、三段分析中国游客特点，以突出中国游客的优势，第四段用数据表明游客喜欢到西班牙旅行，最后一段表明西班牙做好各方面准备迎接游客。由此可知，本文的目的是展示西班牙吸引中国游客的愿望。故选B。

In a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.
The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).
But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.
How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,” “Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.
12. What is the result of the survey?
A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.
B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer.
C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.
D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework.
13. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?
A. They can entertain themselves.
B. They can take in fresh air.
C. They get a sense of achievement.
D. They can delay other things.
14. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?
A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish.
B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink.
C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals.
D. Most prefer cleaning their toilet to washing dishes by hand.
15. What column does the text belong to?
A. Feature Story.
B. Family Life.
C. Scientific Hotspot.
D. Finance Focus.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B

Adjusting to a new job can be a fearful challenge. You'll meet new people and do new work in the new place. Here are some steps to make the process smoother.

Don't be afraid to ask for advice.
___19___ Your employer would prefer that you ask. That's easier than having to fix a mistake. You won't be expected to know everything, and it's better to ask for help than to guess.
Try not to stress too much.
Think of your new job as the next exciting step in your career path. Don't expect to learn everything at once. It's all new to you, and it will take time. ___20___ Try to turn that into new energy and initiative that will make you stand out among your new colleagues.
A. Nobody likes a know-it-all.
B. Others have policies that forbid it.
C. Good relationship can help you relieve the nervousness.

【16题详解】
根据前文“Depending on your organization, you can ask the Human Resources representative or your supervisor any questions（根据你的组织，你可以向人力资源代表或者你的主管提问）”以及标题Get the facts可知，在新地方工作要先找人问清楚工作相关的情况。该句的ask和G项“如果不知道问谁，就问给你工作的人”里的ask语义一致，符合逻辑。故选G项。
【17题详解】
前文“Some companies don’ t care about employee’s posting on Facebook, Twitter, or other social media sites during working hours.（有些公司不关心员工在工作时间在 Facebook、 Twitter 或其他社交媒体网站上发布的信息。）”中的Some companies与B项“其他公司的政策禁止这种行为。”中的Others相互呼应，符合语境。故选B项。
【18题详解】

【19题详解】
根据小标题“Don’t be afraid to ask for advice.（不要害怕去寻求建议。）”可知，此段主要讨论要寻求建议。F项“在你刚开始工作时，没有什么愚蠢的问题。”则说明问问题很正常，并且a question和标题中的ask以及最后一句it’s better to ask for help than to guess 中的ask有逻辑联系。故选F项。
【20题详解】
后文“Try to turn that into new energy, new, and initiative.( 试着把它转化成新的能量，新的和主动性。)”与D项“是的，你是新来的，但你也带来了新的视角”中的new, 及a fresh perspective有逻辑联系，并且有同词复现。故选D项。

【36题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：枇杷的叶子与中国古代乐器琵琶有相似之处。leaf为可数名词，此处表示数量大于一应用复数形式。故填leaves。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：枇杷的叶子与中国古代乐器琵琶有相似之处。instrument为可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且ancient是发音以元音音素开头的单词，应用an。故填an。

【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：由于种植枇杷的技术要求高，劳动力成本高，很少有年轻人愿意接手。修饰动词短语take over，应用副词willingly，作状语。故填willingly。

The Littlest Hero
Angela Shymanski was in a hurry to hit the road. It was 8.30 am, the kids were fed and the car was packed with all the necessities for a road trip: a pop-up tent, toys and snacks for five-year-old Lexi, and, for ten-week-old Peter, a pink blanket and seven days' worth of clothes, all of which had been worn. No matter, thought Angela. It was 26 ℃ in central Alberta, the hottest June 8 on record, so her baby would be fine for the eight hours home to Prince George in nappies (纸尿裤)only.
The 28-year-old Canadian had driven these nearly 800 kilometers alone before to visit friends and family. Her husband of eight years, Travis, a worker at an oil factory, couldn't come on the week-long holiday, but Angela, a swimming and first-aid instructor, was eager to show off Peter to her friends.
It was an important trip for Lexi, too. The morning they had left Prince George on June 1, 2015 marked the beginning of the 100-day countdown (倒计时)to kindergarten.
Exactly one year earlier, Lexi received the most important lesson of her young life, preparing for a future emergency. Lexi absorbed every instruction. She knew how to react in an unexpected accident.
As she was driving along the Icefields Parkway, Angela missed her first turnoff (岔道)， but decided to continue west on a slightly longer, more scenic route. The lost time would have been insignificant had it not been for a 30-minute stretch of road construction. The stops and starts had begun to bother Peter, who was now screaming in the back-facing car seat next to Lexi's. This calls for a nursery rhyme, Angela thought. She inserted a CD and hoped for the best.
“Zoom, zoom, zoom. We're going to the moon. Zoom, zoom, zoom. We're going to the moon.”
In no time, both children were napping in their car seats. Once out of the construction zone, Angela sped to just below the 100 km/h speed limit along the evergreen-lined road. The warmth of the sun, combined with the calming music, soon began to have a relaxing effect and made her sleepy, so Angela opened the window, hoping the breath of wind would keep her alert. She began searching for a rest stop.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, in front of her appeared a sharp turn.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lexi finally climbed to the highway her mother had driven off and spotted Jim.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly，in front of her appeared a sharp turn. She hit the brake hard, attempting to slow the car, only to cause the front wheels to slip. Spinning and rocking, the car crashed into a large evergreen. Lexi was the first to regain consciousness, her neck hurting. She stretched for the door handle, but the door was stuck. Turning on her side, Lexi kicked at the door until it burst open. Then she spotted her mother in the front seat, motionless and Peter crying. “Wake up, Mum!” Angela didn’t respond. Lexi sprang into action for seeking help.
Lexi finally climbed to the highway her mother had driven off and spotted Jim. “Help!” Jumping up and down and waving her arms at him, the barefoot girl seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Without hesitation, Jim pulled over and rushed to the crushed SUV, finding Angela in poor condition, with her face scraped and swollen. The car was on the edge of explosion. Instantly, Jim wasted no second to wrap Peter and then carefully support Angela out of the car. An hour later, an ambulance came. Thanks to the quick judgement and reaction of Lexi, they got rescued.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Angela带孩子们自驾去旅行，路上遭遇了很严重的车祸，大女儿Lexi临危不惧，设法逃出严重受损的车去路上求救。幸亏遇到了Jim，勇敢机智的小英雄Jim救了母子几人。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“突然，在她面前出现了一个急转弯。”可知，第一段可描写Angela和孩子们遇险。
②由第二段首句内容“Lexi终于爬上了母亲开车离开的高速公路，看到了Jim。”可知，第二段可描写Jim营救Angela和孩子们的过程。
2.续写线索：遭遇车祸——苏醒——寻求帮助——救援——获救
3.词汇激活
行为类
①尽力做某事：attempt to do/ try to do
②.苏醒：regain consciousness / come back to life
③.毫不犹豫：without hesitation /without a second thought

B
Nina Wygant, 11, sits in front of a long table in a classroom that looks more like a trendy coffee shop than an elementary school classroom. Some of her fifth-grade classmates at Hopewell Memorial Junior High School sit on high-top chairs at counters. Others choose to sit in club chairs or soft bean bags in comfortable. "I like it because it gives us an environment we like or need to settle down and read a book that we would like to concentrate on instead of having desks and being all quiet," said Vivian Garcia, 10. “You can just space out and have your own little area. I find it very amazing that you can pick your own books instead of being told what to read.”
That’s the end goal, said teacher Heather Shadish. Reading has always been a passion for this English language arts and science teacher, a passion she instills （灌输） in her pupils. Back then, in her literature class in graduate school at Chatham University, a professor read aloud the first chapter of Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo, a Newbery Medalist. "That was the moment I knew I wanted to some day teach reading. There was a spark there. I just felt these are the kind of books I need to share with kids ---the books that are going to make them feel something and make them fall in love with reading instead of reading being a chore.”
But information in children's workbooks is limited, so they open tablets and connect to Epic - a digital library that's free to educators and librarians, but $7.99 a month for parents — giving kids unlimited access to approximately 35,000 books （both print and audio）, quizzes and videos to enhance learning.
“Epic gives students access to information not found in a textbook and presents it in a more interesting way," she said.
4. What does Vivian think of the reading experience?
A. She favors club chairs and free discussion.
B. She feels comfortable to be told what to read.
C. She enjoys the environment and reading choice.
D. She finds it easy to pick a book in a crowded area.
5. What does the underlined word “chore" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Task. B. Process.
C. Habit. D. Skill.
6. What can children get from Epic?
A. Free audio books.
B. Tasks on reading levels.
C. Advice from educators.
D. Useful learning resources.
7. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. A Teacher's New Reading Method
B. Pupils' love of Reading Room
C. Options of Teaching Reading
D. Easy Access to Digital Reading
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。讲述了一位小学老师开创新的阅读教学方法的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中 Vivian 说的“I like it because it gives us an environment we like or need to settle down and read a book that we would like to concentrate on instead of having desks and being all quiet(我喜欢它是因为它给了我们一个我们喜欢或需要静下心来读一本书的环境，而不是坐在桌子边上，保持安静)” 和“You can just space out and have your own little area. I find it very amazing that you can pick your own books instead of being told what to read.( 你可以腾出空间，有你自己的小区域。我发现你可以选择自己的书，而不是被告诉我该读什么是令人惊奇的)”可推断，Vivian享受这里的阅读氛围和阅读选择。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“the books that are going to make them feel something and make them fall in love with reading instead of reading being a chore(这些书会让他们感觉到一些东西，让他们爱上阅读而不是一件chore)”，可知,instead of表示“代替”，因此推断该老师希望学生们爱上阅读而不把阅读当作任务。故划线词与A项“任务”意思相近，故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“a digital library that's free to educators and librarians, but $7.99 a month for parents — giving kids unlimited access to approximately 35,000 books （both print and audio）, quizzes and videos to enhance learning(一个对教育工作者和图书馆员免费的数字图书馆，但家长每月使用费用是7.99美元——让孩子们可以无限制地阅读大约3.5万本书（包括印刷版和音频版）)”可知 Epic 可以给学生提供有用的学习资源。故选D项。

Spain's tourism industry is looking to Chinese tourists for its high-end market, according to Rafael Cascales, president of the Spain-China Tourism Association (ATEC). “It is the kind of tourism that is not only interested in the sun, beach and the “all-included” culture. They enjoy culture, wine, history and nature, and the new Chinese tourists would also want to spend more money in Spain," said Cascales in a recent interview with Xinhua.
“They are younger, more women travel and they are more cosmopolitan (见多识广的).They also travel on their own or in couples or in smaller groups. The old-fashioned large groups of visitors have not disappeared, but this new form of traveling is becoming more important,55 he said.
Speaking of the consumption pattern of the new kind of Chinese tourists, Cascales said, “The money they spend is distributed better because they will book one flight with one airline, the hotel with another company and the restaurant with another.” In his eyes, “Chinese tourists are very important because they combine two things: there are a large number of them and they spend more money than anyone else — almost four times more than tourists from other countries." They not only travel abroad in the summer months when Spain has to compete with the sun and beaches in countries such as Turkey and Egypt, but also travel in the off-peak seasons of a year, according to Cascales.
In 2017, Spain is the second most popular tourist destination in the world, only after France. It attracted about 82 million visitors, 700,000 of them from China, a number which is estimated to rise to about 2.2 million by 2022.
“We are ready; we have the infrastructure (基础设施) at every level, especially in hotel capacity. Here those visitors can find what they are looking for, including the luxury items which distinguish them,” Cascales noted.
8. What are the features of the new Chinese tourists according to Cascales?
A. They are cautious about spending money in Spain.
B. They are likely to travel in smaller groups now.
C. They are only interested in the sun and beach.
D. They are mainly male visitors of middle age.
9. What can we learn about the consumption pattern of new Chinese tourists?
A. They will reserve flights and hotels with different companies.
B. They will spend less money than tourists from other countries.
C. They will travel abroad only during the off-peak seasons.
D. They will spend the money in different cities.
10. What is done to meet the demands of Chinese tourists?
A. Local cultures in Spain are promoted.
B. Well-furnished hotels are provided.
C. Best and expensive items are offered for free.
D. More shopping sites are constructed.
11. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce the tourism industry of Spain.

In a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.
The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).
But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.
How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,” “Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.
12. What is the result of the survey?
A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.
B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer.
C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.
D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework.
13. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?
A. They can entertain themselves.
B. They can take in fresh air.
C. They get a sense of achievement.
D. They can delay other things.
14. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?
A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish.
B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink.
C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals.
D. Most prefer cleaning their toilet to washing dishes by hand.
15. What column does the text belong to?
A. Feature Story.
B. Family Life.
C. Scientific Hotspot.
D. Finance Focus.

The Littlest Hero
Angela Shymanski was in a hurry to hit the road. It was 8.30 am, the kids were fed and the car was packed with all the necessities for a road trip: a pop-up tent, toys and snacks for five-year-old Lexi, and, for ten-week-old Peter, a pink blanket and seven days' worth of clothes, all of which had been worn. No matter, thought Angela. It was 26 ℃ in central Alberta, the hottest June 8 on record, so her baby would be fine for the eight hours home to Prince George in nappies (纸尿裤)only.
The 28-year-old Canadian had driven these nearly 800 kilometers alone before to visit friends and family. Her husband of eight years, Travis, a worker at an oil factory, couldn't come on the week-long holiday, but Angela, a swimming and first-aid instructor, was eager to show off Peter to her friends.
It was an important trip for Lexi, too. The morning they had left Prince George on June 1, 2015 marked the beginning of the 100-day countdown (倒计时)to kindergarten.
Exactly one year earlier, Lexi received the most important lesson of her young life, preparing for a future emergency. Lexi absorbed every instruction. She knew how to react in an unexpected accident.
As she was driving along the Icefields Parkway, Angela missed her first turnoff (岔道)， but decided to continue west on a slightly longer, more scenic route. The lost time would have been insignificant had it not been for a 30-minute stretch of road construction. The stops and starts had begun to bother Peter, who was now screaming in the back-facing car seat next to Lexi's. This calls for a nursery rhyme, Angela thought. She inserted a CD and hoped for the best.
“Zoom, zoom, zoom. We're going to the moon. Zoom, zoom, zoom. We're going to the moon.”
In no time, both children were napping in their car seats. Once out of the construction zone, Angela sped to just below the 100 km/h speed limit along the evergreen-lined road. The warmth of the sun, combined with the calming music, soon began to have a relaxing effect and made her sleepy, so Angela opened the window, hoping the breath of wind would keep her alert. She began searching for a rest stop.

【答案】Suddenly，in front of her appeared a sharp turn. She hit the brake hard, attempting to slow the car, only to cause the front wheels to slip. Spinning and rocking, the car crashed into a large evergreen. Lexi was the first to regain consciousness, her neck hurting. She stretched for the door handle, but the door was stuck. Turning on her side, Lexi kicked at the door until it burst open. Then she spotted her mother in the front seat, motionless and Peter crying. “Wake up, Mum!” Angela didn’t respond. Lexi sprang into action for seeking help.
Lexi finally climbed to the highway her mother had driven off and spotted Jim. “Help!” Jumping up and down and waving her arms at him, the barefoot girl seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Without hesitation, Jim pulled over and rushed to the crushed SUV, finding Angela in poor condition, with her face scraped and swollen. The car was on the edge of explosion. Instantly, Jim wasted no second to wrap Peter and then carefully support Angela out of the car. An hour later, an ambulance came. Thanks to the quick judgement and reaction of Lexi, they got rescued.
