As the fifth of seven children, I went to the same public school as my three elder sisters and brother. Every year, my mother went to the same ceremony and had parent-child interviews with teachers. And every child participated in an old school tradition — the annual plant sale held in early May, just timely for Mother’s Day. What was different was the child.
Third grade was the first time I was allowed to join in the plant sale. Originally, I wanted to surprise my mother. For lack of enough money, I went to my eldest sister and shared my thought, after which she supported me financially. When arriving at the plant sale, I carefully made my selection, inspecting each plant for the best geranium (天竺葵) and taking it home in secret. When Mother’s Day arrived, I remember how proud and delighted my mother was to receive the special gift.
The year I was fifteen, my younger sister reached third grade. In early May, she came to me full of wonder and secrecy and told me that a plant sale was to be held at school. As my elder sister did for me, I gave her some money and off she went. She arrived home full of nervous excitement, the geranium hidden in a paper bag under her sweater. “I looked at every plant,” she explained, “and I know I got the best one!”
When she gave my mother the geranium, they were both bursting with pride and delight. My mother also noticed me and gave me a soft, secret smile. With a tug at my heart, I smiled back. I had been wondering how my mother could pretend to be surprised at this gift from her sixth child, but as I watched her eyes light up with delight as she was presented with that most precious gift, I knew she was not pretending.
4、What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Our siblings were from different schools.
B. Mother repeatedly went for similar interviews.
C. The annual plant sale was intended for recreation.
D. The old school tradition was held every other year.
5、Why did my mother give me a soft, secret smile?
A. Because she didn’t like the gift at all.
B. Because she was pretending to be happy.
C. Because she knew I gave money to my sister.
D. Because she didn’t want me to let out the secret.
6、Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Reliable. B. Considerate. C. Honest D. Frank.
7、What’s the suitable title for this passage?
A. Secret smile B. Mother’s Day
C. Geranium of love D. Annual plant sale
Campaigns to protect the natural world are getting increasingly ambitious. But although there is convincing evidence that protected areas prevent habitat loss, proof that they actually benefit wildlife is surprisingly scanty. Now, the first large study of its kind shows nature reserves can increase waterbird populations, but typically only if humans take an active role in their management.
To understand the impact of nature reserves, conservation scientist Hannah Wauchope decided to analyze populations of waterbird species. First, the team identified 1506 protected areas that had population data from both before and after they were created. Then, they paired each reserve with one or more control sites — a similar patch of nearby habitat — that was unprotected. This setup helped the researchers understand how the protected area influenced bird populations.
The researchers had hoped the analysis would clearly show protected areas benefit birds. However, only 27% of waterbird populations in protected areas increased after the creation of the reserve while 21% of populations were negatively impacted, compared with the control sites, after a reserve was established. A silver lining is that nearly half the studied groups neither grew nor shrank: At least those populations were stable.
To figure out what was responsible for the population gains and losses, the team analyzed multiple factors, of which the most important was whether the site was specifically managed for waterbirds. That could mean keeping rivers and lakes at the right levels for the protected species, removing invasive weeds, or installing fencing to keep out invasive predators.
“The modest success of these protected areas makes sense.” says Paul Ferraro, an environmental economist. In many policy contexts, he notes, most interventions work no better than the status quo. However, the new study’s mixed results are what good science actually looks like and we need more studies like this one.
8、What does the underlined word “scanty” probably mean in the first paragraph?
A. Believable. B. Solid. C. Insufficient. D. Conflicting.
9、What can we know about nature reserves from paragraph 3?
A. Nearly half of the waterbird populations are in a stable state.
B. A majority of the waterbird populations were negatively affected.
C Nature reserves increased the waterbird populations as expected.
D. Protected areas make much difference to the waterbird populations.
10、Which of the following is the leading cause of the failure of nature reserves?
A. Small size. B. Human activities.
C. Invasive weeds. D. Ineffective management.
11、Why are the environmental economist’s words quoted?
A. To emphasize the value of the study.
B. To show the drawbacks of intervention.
C. To indicate the difficulty of more studies.
D. To express satisfaction about the status quo.
Welcome to the anti-climax, the often-experienced but seldom-discussed downside of achieving life’s milestones. In psychology, the belief that achieving our goal will bring us a lasting feeling of happiness is called “arrival fallacy”, which plays a big part in the feelings of emptiness that follow it.
It’s a feeling that’s all too familiar for Katie Ford, a veterinary surgeon. To gain an extra qualification, she put in countless hours of study and made lots of sacrifices along the way, but now instead of celebration and pride, she feels emptiness and confusion, which have the potential to develop symptoms of depression and low mood.
If you find yourself in a similar situation or you suspect working towards your milestones may be a letdown when you reach the finish line, there are steps to help get rid of anti-climax. First, instead of rushing for it to be done, slow down to enjoy the doing, and remember that lots of things in our lives are never truly done, but constantly evolve just like we do. Another vital step is acknowledging the small wins. We have lots of stepping stones to a big goal to pause on, so celebrate how far you’ve come from the first one, and look forward to the many stones in front. Third, anticipating anti-climaxes in the lead up to big milestones can also lessen their impact. Anti-climaxes are just as common as post-holiday blues, so we’d better normalize them.
Rather than downplaying your milestones or moving straight to the next, mindfully cherish the moment, recognize your progress and reward yourself positively. That way, you won’t fall into the fallacy of having “made it”. Instead, you’ll see that you are happily “making it” along the journey that is an entire lifetime.
12、What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. The belief. B. Achieving our goal.
C. Arrival fallacy. D. A feeling of happiness.
13、Why does the author cite the example of Katie Ford?
A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To draw a conclusion. D. To make a prediction.
14、What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Whether you fall victim to anti-climax.
B. Whether you empathize with Katie Ford.
C. How you can protect yourself from anti-climax.
D. How you can identify the symptoms of anti-climax.
15、What’s the purpose of this article?
A. To help us how to deal with anti-climax.
B. To set readers thinking about anti-climax.
C. To remind us of the danger of anti-climax.
D. To discuss the necessity of preventing anti-climax.
二、七选五
16、When heading to bed, people often do some things to promote sleep, such as drinking a cup of warm milk. ①______ The answer is varied.
"One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger," said psychologist Michael. ②______
On the molecular level, the tryptophan (色氨酸) in milk has properties which can promote sleeping. ③______ Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep.
④______ That's because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality, it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy. Even if a person drinks that much milk, it's unclear whether the high amount of tryptophan would be enough to make him or her feel sleepy. Milk, after all, contains many other materials that compete to enter our brain through the blood. Thus, the sleep-promoting effect of milk is limited.
As for the temperature of the milk, there aren't any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in. ⑤______ It can in turn help to relax the body.
A. The calming association may help to lower pre-sleep anxiety.
B. In theory, taking food rich in tryptophan can make us feel sleepy.
C. The body needs the tryptophan in the milk to calm ourselves down.
D. Can the temperature of the milk accelerate the speed of our sleeping?
E. The body cannot produce tryptophan, so people must get it from the diet.
F. But the warmth of the milk may help raise our internal body temperatures.
G. But is there any scientific evidence that drinking warm milk will make you sleepy?
三、完形填空（15空）

34、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 always remember the quote, “when you are facing a challenge, no matter how hard it is, just bite the bullet, and you will get it over”, which was passed down from my great grandmother in my family.
During my first year of middle school, I left my parents to live with my grandparents who were in another city. I can still remember the day when my mother's eyes turned red when I was about to enter the airport. Father tried to hug me but I refused, because I wanted them to know that I was mature enough to handle this myself. Soon, I regretted my decision.
Although it was early in the morning, the airport seemed to be already filled with people. After I settled down, I still had some time left. I tried to read a book that I thought was interesting; however, no matter how hard I tried, I could not focus my attention on the book. As I looked around, there were children about my age with their parents. I seemed to be the only kid sitting on the chair alone. It was only 40 minutes before I entered the plane, but I felt I had sat there alone for years when I heard the flight attendant announced that we could board the plane. I had several experiences of taking a plane before, and I thought I could get it over with ease. But I was wrong.
Sitting beside me was a middle-aged man, who looked like a businessman. After the plane took off, looking at the clouds outside the window, I started to think about the things that happened in the morning, my dad’s voice, my mom's red eyes. I felt my eyes stinging, and when I rubbed them, a warm liquid washed my fingers-tears.
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。
Then came a clear and gentle voice, “First time travelling alone?”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Encouraged and relieved, I decided to enjoy the rest of the journey.

参考答案
1、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段"It previously was held in the fall, but due to regional wildfires, the festival has been moved to the spring this year and will begin on Thursday, April 21—in time to celebrate Earth Day on Friday, April 22—and run through April 30."(之前的庆祝活动是在秋天举行的，但由于当地的森林大火，今年的庆祝活动被推迟到了春季，并将于4月21日(星期四)开始，以及庆祝4月22日(星期五)的地球日，一直持续到4月30日。)可知，科学节从4月21日开始，一直持续到4月30日。所以4月22日适合人们参加科学节。故选C。
2、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据Virtual Tour of Recology部分"What happens to the items you place in your roadside bins? This virtual event will help you learn about the history of Recology, what it takes to recycle all that stuff, and what you can do to create change that has impact."(你放在路边垃圾桶里的东西怎么办？这个虚拟活动将帮助你了解再生学的历史，回收所有这些东西需要什么，以及你可以做什么来创造有影响力的改变。)可知，对循环再造家居废物有兴趣的人，可以参加这个活动。故选B。
3、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段"Here are a few recommendations related to environmental science."(这里有一些与环境科学有关的推荐。)可知，这4个活动的共同特点是他们的主题都是环境科学。故选D。
4、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Every year, my mother went to the same ceremony and had parent-child interviews with teachers.(每年我妈妈都会去参加同一个仪式，和老师进行亲子访谈)”可知，每年妈妈都会去参加相似的亲子访谈。故选B。
5、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“When she gave my mother the geranium, they were both bursting with pride and delight. My mother also noticed me and gave me a soft, secret smile.(当她把天竺葵送给母亲时，她们俩都洋溢着骄傲和喜悦。我的母亲也注意到了我，给了我一个温柔的、秘密的微笑)”可推断，作者的妈妈希望作者保守秘密，让作者的妹妹觉得自己选的礼物是独一无二的。故选D。
6、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“Third grade was the first time I was allowed to join in the plant sale. Originally, I wanted to surprise my mother.(三年级是我第一次被允许参加工厂销售。本来，我想给我妈妈一个惊喜)”以及最后一段“I had been wondering how my mother could pretend to be surprised at this gift from her sixth child, but as I watched her eyes light up with delight as she was presented with that most precious gift, I knew she was not pretending.(我一直在想，我的母亲如何能假装对她第六个孩子送给她的礼物感到惊讶，但当我看到她得到这份最珍贵的礼物时，她的眼睛里闪烁着喜悦的光芒，我知道她不是在假装)”可推断，作者是一个很体贴、善解人意的孩子。故选B。
7、答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者和妹妹不约而同准备了天竺葵送给妈妈作为母亲节礼物的暖心故事。整篇文章，天竺葵贯穿前后，代表了作者和妹妹对妈妈的爱，也寓意了妈妈对子女的爱护。由此可知，“Geranium of love(爱的天竺葵)”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
8、答案：C
解析：词句猜测题。根据第一段“But although there is convincing evidence that protected areas prevent habitat loss, proof that they actually benefit wildlife is surprisingly scanty.”(但是，尽管有令人信服的证据表明，保护区可以防止栖息地的丧失，但是能证明保护区实际上有益于野生动物的证据却惊人地scanty。)可知，scanty是形容词。分析句子结构和意思可知，2个小分句之间是转折的关系，上文提到“有令人信服的证据”，下文就应该是“能证明保护区实际上有益于野生动物的证据是不足的”，这样上下文才能构成对比和转折，所以scanty的意思应该是“不足的”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。
9、答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“A silver lining is that nearly half the studied groups neither grew nor shrank: At least those populations were stable.”(值得庆幸的是，几乎一半的研究群体既没有增长也没有减少：至少这些群体是稳定的。)可知，几乎一半的水鸟数量是处于稳定状态的。故选A。
10、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“To figure out what was responsible for the population gains and losses, the team analyzed multiple factors, of which the most important was whether the site was specifically managed for waterbirds.”(为了弄清楚是什么导致了这些鸟的数量的增加和减少，研究小组分析了多种因素，其中最重要的是这个地方是否是专门为水鸟管理的。)可知，管理是决定鸟类数量的最重要因素，所以如果一个自然保护区失败了，那么，最重要的原因应该是管理不善。故选D。
11、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段““The modest success of these protected areas makes sense.” says Paul Ferraro, an environmental economist.”(“这些保护区的适度成功是有意义的。”环境经济学家保罗·费拉罗说。)可知，作者引用环境经济学家保罗·费拉罗的话，是为了强调研究的价值。故选A。
12、答案：B
解析：词句猜测题。根据第一段“In psychology, the belief that achieving our goal will bring us a lasting feeling of happiness is called “arrival fallacy”, which plays a big part in the feelings of emptiness that follow it.”(在心理学中，相信实现目标会带给我们持久的幸福感，这种信念被称为“到达谬误”，它在随之而来的空虚感中扮演了重要角色。)分析可知，it指代上文提到的“实现目标”。which plays a big part in the feelings of emptiness that follow it.引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是arrival fallacy，that引导定语从句修饰the feelings,可以翻译为：到达谬误在跟随实现目标而来的空虚感中扮演了重要角色。故选B。
13、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s a feeling that’s all too familiar for Katie Ford, a veterinary surgeon. To gain an extra qualification, she put in countless hours of study and made lots of sacrifices along the way, but now instead of celebration and pride, she feels emptiness and confusion, which have the potential to develop symptoms of depression and low mood.”(这种感觉对 Katie Ford 来说再熟悉不过了，她是个兽医。为了获得一个额外的资格证书，她投入了无数个小时的学习，一路上做出了很多牺牲，但现在，她感到的不是庆祝和骄傲，而是空虚和困惑，这有可能导致抑郁和反高潮的症状。)可知，这一段以Katie Ford为例，是为了进一步阐明第一段提到的“到达谬误”这一概念。故选B。
14、答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。根据第三段“If you find yourself in a similar situation or you suspect working towards your milestones may be a letdown when you reach the finish line, there are steps to help get rid of anti-climax. First, instead of rushing for it to be done, slow down to enjoy the doing, and remember that lots of things in our lives are never truly done, but constantly evolve just like we do. Another vital step is acknowledging the small wins. We have lots of stepping stones to a big goal to pause on, so celebrate how far you’ve come from the first one, and look forward to the many stones in front. Third, anticipating anti-climaxes in the lead up to big milestones can also lessen their impact. Anti-climaxes are just as common as post-holiday blues, so we’d better normalize them.”(如果你发现自己处于类似的情况，或者你怀疑朝着里程碑前进的过程可能会让你在到达终点时感到失望，这里有一些步骤可以帮助你摆脱反高潮。首先，与其急着去做，不如慢下来享受做这件事的过程。记住，我们生活中的很多事情从来没有真正完成过，而是像我们一样不断进化。另一个重要的步骤是承认小的胜利。我们有很多通向大目标的垫脚石，可以停下来，所以庆祝你从第一个目标走了多远，并期待前面的许多垫脚石。第三，在重要的里程碑之前预估反高潮也可以减少它们的影响。反高潮和节后抑郁一样普遍，所以我们最好把它们常态化)可知，这一段主要介绍如何保护自己免受反高潮的影响。故选C。
15、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rather than downplaying your milestones or moving straight to the next, mindfully cherish the moment, recognize your progress and reward yourself positively. That way, you won’t fall into the fallacy of having “made it”. Instead, you’ll see that you are happily “making it” along the journey that is an entire lifetime.”(与其淡化你的里程碑或者直接进入下一个阶段，不如谨慎地珍惜当下，认识到你的进步并且积极地奖励自己。这样，你就不会陷入“成功”的谬论。相反，你会看到自己在一生的旅程中快乐地“成功”。)可知，作者写这篇文章是为了帮助我们如何解决反高潮。故选A。
16、答案：①-⑤GAEBF
解析：①根据后文“The answer is varied.(这个答案是多种多样的。)”以及““One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger," said psychologist Michael.(心理学家迈克尔说:“热牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是，它会让你想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人。”)”和“On the molecular level, the tryptophan（色氨酸）in milk has properties which can promote sleeping.(在分子水平上，色氨酸具有促进睡眠的特性。)”可知，后文是对选项所提出的一个问题进行回答，该问题跟后文所提到的内容相关，故选项应为一个疑问句。选项G中的“scientific evidence”对应后文中的“On the molecular level”，而选项中的make you sleepy在后文又被提到，两者互相照应。故选G项。
②根据前文“'One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,' said psychologist Michael.(心理学家迈克尔说:“热牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是，它会让你想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人。”)”可知，热牛奶让人想起曾经给自己温暖的人，使人内心感动，这种联系能减缓睡前焦虑。选项A中的“The calming association”对应前文的提到的“想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人”，这会产生令人镇静的作用，因此推断A项“这种镇静的联系可能有助于降低睡前焦虑。”符合语境。故选A项。
③根据后文“Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep.(我们身体利用食物中的色氨酸和其他物质来产生大脑化学物质血清素。血清素被转化为褪黑激素，这种激素有助于睡眠。) ”可知，色氨酸是从食物以及其他物质中获取的，我们身体本身不具有色氨酸。故E选项中的“get it from the diet”对应“use the tryptophan from food, along with other things”。因此推断E项“人体不能产生色氨酸，所以人们必须从饮食中获取色氨酸。”符合语境。故选E项。
④根据后文“That's because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality, it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy.(这是因为身体将其转化为增强睡眠的激素。但事实上，需要大量的色氨酸才能让人感到困倦。)”可知，本段从理论和实际两个方面去论述到底色氨酸是否具有助眠的作用。选项B中的“In theory”与后文的“But in reality”相对应。因此推断B项“从理论上讲，食用富含色氨酸的食物会让我们感到困倦。”符合语境。故选B项。
⑤根据前文“As for the temperature of the milk, there aren't any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in.( 至于牛奶的温度，没有任何研究表明牛奶必须是热的才能发挥其心理或生理作用。)”以及后文“It can in turn help to relax the body.(这反过来有助于放松身体。)”可知，本段讲述的是牛奶的温度可能也是一个影响助眠效果的因素。选项F中的“the warmth of the milk”对应前文的“the temperature of the milk”以及选项中的“raise our internal body temperatures”对应后文的“it”，故选项F“但牛奶的温度可能有助于提高我们体内的温度。”符合语境，具有承上启下的作用。故选F项。
17、答案：C
解析：考查动词词义辨析。句意：十二岁时，我开始参加冲浪比赛，在太平洋冲浪系列赛中名列第一。A. attaining实现；B. gaining获得；C. ranking排列；D. defeating打败。根据“When I was twelve, I began to compete in surfing,”可知，作者在冲浪比赛中排名第一。固定搭配“rank number one”意为“位列第一”。故选C。
18、答案：B
解析：考查副词词义辨析。句意：从那以后，命运就一直非常地眷顾着我。A. concisely简明地；B. incredibly非常地；C. solely单独地；D. randomly随便地。根据“ever since.”可知，从作者拿第一名之后，命运就非常地眷顾着作者。故选B。
19、答案：A
解析：考查定语从句。句意：直到有一天，我的生活改变了。A. when什么时候；B. which哪一个；C. after后来；D. since自......以后。分析句子结构可知，本句为定语从句，先行词为the day，在定语从句中作时间状语，所以用关系副词when引导。故选A。
20、答案：D

32、答案：①dating②used③Typically④are dipped⑤expansion⑥to mark⑦for⑧which⑨more⑩a
解析：①考查非谓语动词。句意：它们的根源可以追溯到几千年前，它们不仅仅是一个独特的图案。分析句子结构可知，动词date和被修饰的名词roots是逻辑上的主谓关系，所以用现在分词，表示主动，作宾补。故填dating。
②考查非谓语动词。句意：中国印章是用于标记重要文件或其他需要签名的物品的印章或邮票。分析句子结构可知，动词use和被修饰的名词短语a seal or stamp是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词，表示被动，做后置定语。故填used。
③考查副词。句意：典型的来说，印章是石头做的，但它们也可以用木材，竹子等。分析句子结构可知，这里需要副词做状语，修饰整个句子。故填Typically。
④考查动词语态。句意：当印章被使用时，他们会被浸在红墨水或朱砂糊里。分析句子结构和意思可知，主语they和谓语动词dip是被动关系，这里考查一般现在时的被动结构，主语是they，be动词用are。故填are dipped。
⑤考查名词。句意：直到明清时期，由于艺术的发展，印章才被广泛使用。分析句子结构可知，这里考查名词，作宾语。故填expansion。
⑥考查非谓语动词。句意：艺术家用风格化的印章雕刻他们的名字来标记他们作品的所有权。分析句子结构可知，这里考查动词不定式短语做目的状语。故填to mark。
⑦考查介词。句意：个人也因为重要文件使用个性化的印章。分析句子结构可知，这里考查介词，表示“为了”的意思。故填for。
⑧考查定语从句。句意：印面雕刻可以遵循多种书法风格，雕刻大师不遗余力地发展这些风格。分析句子结构可知，___8___ master engravers spared no effort to develop是非限制性定语从句，先行词calligraphy styles在从句中作宾语，指物。故填which。
⑨考查形容词比较级。句意：印章通常附有手写签名，作为一种比单一类型更安全的识别形式。分析句子结构可知，后面有than just one type，是比较对象，所以这里考查形容词的比较级。故填more。
⑩考查冠词。句意：如今，篆刻和书法、绘画、蜡印一样，被认为是中国的传统艺术。分析句子结构可知，art是可数名词单数，前面需要限定词修饰，表示泛指，“一”的意思，所以用不定冠词，空格后的traditional第一个音素是辅音音素，所以用a。故填a。
33、答案：
Dear fellow students,
As we are growing into teenagers, we should take the family responsibilities. Some students take it for granted that our parents should take care of us. But we should know that we are part of our family, so we also should be responsible for the whole family. We should take care of our parents as they do it for us. We can do some cleaning, wash the clothes, or make some food. Only after we do these things can we realize the hardship and love from our parents.
Boys and girls, take action to share the family responsibilities! We teenagers should learn to do it.
The Students Union

34、答案：
Then came a clear and gentle voice, “First time travelling alone?” I looked up, trying not to let my voice break, “Yes, sir”. The businessman leaned towards me, patted me gently on my shoulder and patiently shared his first travelling experience with me. Teenager as he was, confused and alarmed just like me, he managed it eventually. His warm smile flooded my heart, making me somehow forget about the unpleasant feeling.
Encouraged and relieved, I decided to enjoy the rest of the journey. So we kept talking happily throughout the whole flight until our conversation was interrupted by the announcement of the flight attendant, which reminded us that the plane was about to land. On going out of the plane, I was welcomed by my grandparents’ warm smiles and high praise. I suddenly realized the meaning of the quote passed down in my family and this precious quote always jumps into my head every time I have a new challenge.
解析：本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者第一次乘坐飞机的经历，多亏了陌生人的陪伴和鼓励，作者才成功做到了，也最终明白了“当你面临挑战的时候，不管有多困难，只要咬紧牙关，你就会克服它”。
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“这时传来一个清晰而温柔的声音：第一次独自旅行?”以及第二段首句“受到鼓舞和宽慰后，我决定享受余下的旅程。”可知，第一段可描写陌生人是如何鼓舞和给作者带来宽慰。
②由第二段首句“受到鼓舞和宽慰后，我决定享受余下的旅程。”可知，第二段可描写作者如何度过接下来的时光并回到本文第一段的主题“当你面临挑战的时候，不管有多困难，只要咬紧牙关，你就会克服它”。
2.续写线索：决定一个人坐飞机——情绪低落——遇到陌生人——陌生人鼓励作者——开始享受旅程
