阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Top Chinese Restaurants in the Greater Seattle Area
Dumpling Generation
As the name implies, baskets of steamed dumplings are the move here. The wrappers are hand-rolled—not too thin or thick—and the fillings are savory and juicy. Ifyou prefer a strong taste, get the dumplings that include Chinese chives (韭菜), which have large, flat leaves that aren’t afraid to announce their presence.
Xi’an Noodles
Biang biang noodles take their name from the satisfying sound you hear when chefs slap dough (面团) on the counter. The impact creates the specialty noodles of the northwest Chinese city of Xi’an. These chewy, hand-ripped noodles center in most dishes on the menu. Order them as a soup,or as a bowl tossed with spicy cumin (孜然) lamb or just some chili hot oil.
Friendship BBQ
The Northeastern-Chinese-style grilled baroque restaurant is actually the Seattle branch of a New York-based chain. Meats and seafood come coated in a cumin-forward seasoning with your choice of spice level. Don’t miss the side dishes, including the garlic eggplant, which is roasted until the flesh is covered with a garlic sauce. Despite its authentic taste, you’ll constantly be wowed by its cool new recipes. That’s probably what sets it apart in the Chinese food scene.
Imperial Garden
The dim sum menu contains all the favorites and any extras make great takeaway. But Imperial Garden’s star remains the Peking Roast Duck—shaved pieces of meat topped with long narrow pieces of shiny duck skin,served with steamed pancakes. While the restaurant uses white tablecloths and is spacious enough to accommodate large banquets, the vibe (氛围) isn’t formal.
1. What do Dumpling Generation and Xi’an Noodles have in common?
A. Steamed foods. B. Plain taste.
C. Handmade dishes. D. Northwestern origin.
2. How is Friendship BBQ different from other Chinese restaurants?
A. It’s not locally owned. B. It has innovative spirit.
C. It features roasted dishes. D. It has casual atmosphere.
3. If you plan to organize a grand family gathering, which is the most suitable place?
A. Imperial Garden. B. Dumpling Generation.
C. Friendship BBQ. D. Xi’an Noodles.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A
【解析】

【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Imperial Garden部分的“While the restaurant uses white tablecloths and is spacious enough to accommodate large banquets, the vibe (氛围) isn’t formal.(虽然餐厅使用白色桌布，空间足够大，可以容纳大型宴会，但气氛并不正式)”可知，如果你计划举办一个盛大的家庭聚会，Imperial Garden是最佳选择。故选A。
B
Located among the forests where eagles fly overhead, Jabal Sawda has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s best places for mountaineers. At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three meters shy of Jabal Ferwa.
For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.
Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a love for mountaineering. “If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”
The twins’ love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012, after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.
4. What can we learn about Jabal Sawda?
A. It’s Saudi Arabia’s best scenic spot. B. It’s lower than Jabal Ferwa.
C. It’s Saudi Arabia’s highest peak. D. It’s better-known than Jabal Ferwa.
5. Why have the twins traveled to different countries in the past decade?
A. To write books about mountains. B. To rename the peaks of mountains.
C. To identify the highest mountains. D. To challenge other mountaineers.
6. What do Matthew’s words concerning their work imply in paragraph 3?
A. It satisfies their curiosity. B. It strengthens their motivation.
C. It attracts more mountaineers. D. It guarantees informed choices.
7. Which of the following best describes the twins?
A. Ambitious but impractical. B. Determined and adventurous.
C. Intelligent and unselfish. D. Peace-loving and eco-friendly.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了双胞胎兄弟Matthew和Matthew and Eric Gilbertson已经攀登了100多个国家的最高峰山峰，并且还要继续攀登下去。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three meters shy of Jabal Ferwa.(海拔2999米的Jabal Sawda一直被认为是沙特王国的最高峰，直到2018年，双胞胎登山者Matthew和Matthew and Eric Gilbertson登上它，发现它比Jabal Ferwa低约3米)”可知，Jabal Sawda比Jabal Ferwa低大约3米。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.(十多年来，这对双胞胎走遍了世界上一个又一个国家，改写了中东和西非地区的登山记录。到目前为止，他们已经到达了100多个国家的最高峰，最近在多哥、几内亚比绍和科特迪瓦发现了最高峰)”可知，十多年来，这对双胞胎在不同的国家旅行，重写山峰的记录。可推知，他们这么做的目的就是要确认最高的山峰。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.(我们认为，对未来的登山者来说，做一个准确的调查是有帮助的，这样他们就可以集中精力到达他们想要到达的山峰)”可知，他们的工作提供了准确的数据，登山者可以根据这些数据选择攀登哪一座山峰。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.(十多年来，这对双胞胎走遍了世界上一个又一个国家，改写了中东和西非地区的登山记录。到目前为止，他们已经到达了100多个国家的最高峰，最近在多哥、几内亚比绍和科特迪瓦发现了最高峰)”以及第三段““If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”(马修说：“如果我们要尽一切努力去访问一个国家，参观最高的山峰，我们希望确保我们确实参观了最高的山峰。我们认为，对未来的登山者进行准确的调查是有帮助的，这样他们就可以集中精力到达他们想要到达的山峰。”)”结合文章描述的双胞胎兄弟已经攀登了100多个国家的最高峰山峰，并且还要继续攀登下去。可推知这对双胞胎有决心且有冒险精神。故选B。
C
There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn’t treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair?
We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society—it’s largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.
I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to these verity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don’t create fairness, but people’s desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us—they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.
8. What is the primary purpose of the text?
A. To promote “efforts over complaint”.
B. To stress the importance of fairness.
C. To share an inspiring story of a friend.
D. To prove that fairness is a state of mind.
9. What does the underlined word “abound” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Change fully.
B. Remain the same.
C. Exist in numbers.
D. Disappear completely.
10. What opinion may the writer agree with?
A. Most of us can affect the results we achieve.
B. Our background determines our choices.
C People’s desire and determination create unfairness.
D. We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Fairness Is Justice
B. Life Is Not Fair—Deal with It
C. Fairness Comes First
D. Cry for Fairness
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者讨论了公平问题，阐述了人生没有绝对的公平，但要勇敢面对不公平的道理。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。 通读全文，尤其根据第三段中“Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.(不管他们面临怎样的挑战，他们都有选择贡献而不是抱怨。)”可知，文章的主要目的是要告诉人们要努力进取而不是抱怨。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。 划线词句前文“We have little choice early in life.(我们在生命的早期几乎没有选择。)”说明人生的初期没有选择，相对而言，人生的后期就有了选择，从而推知划线词所在句“But as we grow older, choices abound. (但随着年龄的增长，我们的选择abound)”中划线词应为“有了（选择），有更多（的选择）”的意思，和C选项“Exist in numbers.(大量存在)”，故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第二段中“I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain.(我一直相信，虽然我们无法控制生命的开始，但我们大多数人都有能力影响我们所获得的结果。)”可知，作者认为我们大多数人都能影响我们所取得的结果。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中“It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all.(无论你是出生在银汤匙、塑料汤匙还是根本没有勺子的家庭，这都无关紧要。)”以及“Stories such as this are all around us—they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.(这样的故事在我们身边随处可见——它们不是奇迹，也不是罕见的例外。然而，他们却确实证明了他们对公平思维模式的无视。)”等内容可知，本文用身边的事例阐述了人生中没有绝对的公平，但我们要勇敢面对不公平的道理，因此最好的题目是B选项“Life Is Not Fair—Deal with It(生活是不公平的——面对它)”，故选B。
D
The 2010s brought no shortage of miraculous technologies, from tablet computers to4G mobile internet. But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的) 1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand.
Generative AI, its developers say, will be different. Not since the invention of the internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination. The technology is consumer-friendly: within days of its release to the public, Chat GPT, the most famous AI chat bot, had millions of users. It is easy to see how this innovation could improve all types of work at all types of firms, from increasing the accuracy of doctors’ diagnoses to helping programmers write software code more efficiently.
With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time. Although the internet began to be used by some companies in the early 1990s, it was not until the late 2000s that two-thirds of American businesses had a website. About 70 world’s largest firms still show no interest in AI, according to our analysis. Some evidence even suggests that usage of Chat GPT and its competitors is falling — perhaps as people have tried it out, and then decided it is not for them.
Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old. Replacing outdated systems can be costly and complicated. Moreover, in the many industries either run or heavily regulated by the government, such as healthcare, education and construction, bosses and trade unions often resist the application of new technology, worried that it will lead to job losses. In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one.
12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. How productivity affects average wages.
B. Why the 2010s is a productive decade.
C. Whether economic growth follows new technologies.
D. What innovative companies care for.
13. What does the author want to indicate by mentioning Chat GPT in paragraph 2?
A. AI’s public imagination. B. Consumers’ enthusiasm.
C. AI’s healthy profits. D. AI’s huge potential.
14. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Big firms are less motivated to adopt new tech.
B. More efforts are needed to advocate AI.
C. Chat GPT is falling behind its competitors.
D. Websites were uncommon in the early 2000s.
15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards the future of AI?
A. Hopeful. B. Worried. C. Cautious. D. Pessimistic.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了经验表明，技术突破和平均生活水平的提高并不总是齐头并进的，介绍了人工智能的潜能以及存在的一些挑战。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The 2010s brought no shortage of miraculous technologies, from tablet computers to4G mobile internet. But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的)1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand.(2010年代不乏奇迹般的技术，从平板电脑到4G移动互联网。但令人惊讶的是，这些措施对经济的影响微乎其微。在那十年里，发达国家的生产率平均每年增长可怜的1%，压低了平均工资。创新的公司拥抱新技术，但许多不那么冒险的公司却不闻不问。经验表明，技术突破和平均生活水平的提高并不总是齐头并进的)”可知，第一段主要是谈论新技术的诞生是否一定会导致经济增长。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Generative AI, its developers say, will be different. Not since the invention of the internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination.(其开发人员表示，生成式人工智能将有所不同。自互联网发明以来，还没有一项新技术如此俘获了公众的想象力)”以及之后举例Chat GPT并列举其各种用途，证明其被采用的巨大潜力。由此推知，作者在第二段提到GPT是想说明人工智能的巨大潜力。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time. (话虽如此，人工智能要想真正在经济中普及开来，它需要在最具创新性的公司之外留下印记。而这需要时间)”可推知，推广人工智能还需要做出更多的努力。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old.(事实上，即使是最强大的技术也需要时间来被采用，因为公司倾向于使用软件和服务的混合，其中一些可能已经有几年甚至几十年的历史了)”以及“In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one.(假以时日，人工智能很可能会改变人们的生活和工作方式。但是，广泛使用的道路，以及由此带来的生产力繁荣，将是一条漫长的道路)”可推知，作者对人工智能的未来是谨慎的。故选C。
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. ___16___
___17___Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.
It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. ___18___It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus.
It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. ___19___
Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. ___20___Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.
A The only time you can make changes is right now.
B. With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.
C. You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training.
D. Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength.
E. You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.
F. Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.
G. Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. A 19. G 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何增强自己的精神力量。
【16题详解】
根据空前的“Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively.(增强精神力量与增强体力类似。每天只需几分钟，你就可以训练你的大脑以不同的方式思考，管理你的情绪，并表现得富有成效。)”可知，第一段总体是在讨论提高精神力量，空处为最后一句，应该总结本段并引出下段，后面都在讲提高精神力量的方法，因此B选项“With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.(有规律的练习可以增强你的精神力量。)”说明练习可以增强精神力量，引出下一段的方法，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
空格处是本段主题句，由空后的“Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.(想想你生命中感恩的三件事。它可以像你喝的干净的水一样简单。写一本感恩日记，在晚餐时列出你感激的事情，或者养成在睡觉前找到你感激的事情的习惯。久而久之，感恩就成了你的第二天性。)”可知，本段主题为通过把感恩变成一种习惯来改变思维方式，E选项“You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.(你可以通过养成感恩的习惯来改变你的大脑。)”说明可以通过养成感恩的习惯来改变你的大脑，概括了本段内容，可作为主题句。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据空前句“It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow.(当你想到上周发生的事情或明天会发生的可怕的事情时，你不可能保持坚强。)”以及空后句“It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present.(因此，能够专注于当下是非常重要的。)”可知，这里在说明当下的重要性，唯一可以做出改变的时刻只有当下，A选项“The only time you can make changes is right now.(你唯一能做出改变的时间就是现在。)”说明现在就要做出改变，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据空处前一句“So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better.(所以当你难过的时候，把你的肩膀向后仰，微笑，你会感觉好一些。)”可知，要主动地寻求改变才会让自己感觉更好，G选项“Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.(永远记住，自信的感觉不会凭空而来。)”说明自信的感觉不会凭空出现（需要自己做出改变），因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据空处后一句“Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.(自怨自艾，第一次失败就放弃，这些坏习惯会阻碍你建立自己的精神力量。)”可知，需要关注那些使你失去精神力量的坏习惯，F选项“Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.(注意那些让你失去精神力量的坏习惯。)”说明了要注意那些让你失去精神力量的坏习惯，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选F。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了夸父逐日的神话故事。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：很久以前，在辽阔的荒野中有一座山，名叫“成都载天”。mountain和name构成逻辑上的被动关系，所以要用过去分词作后置定语。故填named。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这座山是夸父部落家园，他们的成员都像巨人一样高大威武。分析句子结构可知非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the Kua Fu tribe，在从句中作定语，应用whose。故填whose。
【38题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：看到日出和日落，夸父突然有了一个主意，他想和太阳赛跑，看谁跑得更快！idea后面接同位语从句，从句不缺少成分，且句意完整，应用that。故填that。
【39题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：第二天，太阳一出来，他就迈了一大步，全速向太阳跑去。短语at full speed表示“全速前进”。故填at。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，太阳并不是静止的，它稳步地从地平线上升起，到达最高点，然后向西落下。此处修饰谓语动词rose应用副词steadily。故填steadily。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：夸父一刻也停不下来，他像风一样一路狂奔，奋力追赶。短语for an instant表示“一刻，一会儿”。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：夸父一刻也停不下来，他像风一样一路狂奔，奋力追赶。struggle和he之间构成逻辑上的主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故填struggling。
【43题详解】
考查谓语动词的时态和语态。句意：大半天过去了，夸父终于要在禺谷赶上太阳了，而禺谷正是太阳落山的地方！根据上文Kua Fu was可知为一般过去时，且suppose与sun之间构成逻辑上的被动关系，为一般过去时的被动语态，谓语用单数。故填was supposed。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：夸父用尽最后一点力气，把手杖扔了出去，那里变成了一片桃林，果实丰富，是人们乘凉休息的地方，也是他们继续赶路前吃桃子的地方。作介词of的宾语，应用名词strength，表抽象概念，不可数。故填strength。
【45题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：夸父用尽最后一点力气，把手杖扔了出去，那里变成了一片桃林，果实丰富，是人们乘凉休息的地方，也是他们继续赶路前吃桃子的地方。引导时间状语从句，表示“在……之前”应用before。故填before。

Li Hua
【答案】Dear readers,
Homes lost and schools ruined, those students who are suffering from flood are in desperate need of help. Therefore, I feel it an obligation to donate books to them.
Firstly, books are the aspect that is of primary urgency! While food and clean water supply can be restored at a steady pace, having books to resume their study without delay is the best way to get their normal life back. Second, this donation does enhance our social responsibility and hopefully can help relieve the mental suffering of the less fortunate.
Just as the saying goes: “The rose in her hand, the fragrance in mine.” We’ll be rewarded by a sense of delight gained through a hand.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’m from the fishing town of Kinsale, in Ireland. Life is pretty good there, but Dubai caught my attention when I was 18. I moved there myself 10 years ago as a 30-year-old film-maker. It’s been a wild ride, full of chaos and wonder.
My wife, Christine, lives here with me; when her sister Angela came to visit in April this year, the three of us set off in my pickup truck. It was a cloudless day, touching 40 ℃. The heat and humidity were violent, so we had to sightsee from the car.
We took the scenic route between Dubai and Ras al-Khaimah, a charming city in the north. A year earlier, while off-roading with a friend, I got stuck at a water crossing there, at the only inlet on the coast, where the sea flows into a swampy lagoon (咸水湖). I had to be rescued, and learned how quickly the tide (潮水) could come in.
Christine spotted what looked like the Loch Ness monster stuck in the sand. We decided to investigate and drove up to where the sand met the lagoon. It was a camel, not moving.
Since relocating here, I have always kept a shovel, rope, torches and knives in my car—getting stuck in the desert can be debilitating (耗费体力的).
I got out my shovel and approached the camel. It was a female; we nicknamed her Stucky. It looked as if she had been trapped for hours—she was in quite deep. I’ve been around camels a lot in Dubai; they are massive. They can be friendly, but they can also be fierce. I approached Stucky slowly and started to gently dig away the sand around her. I kept patting her. I knew if she swung her head around quickly, she could injure herself, or me.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Christine filmed my rescue attempt and posted photos on social media.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Luckily, at that point, a pickup arrived carrying 7 guys with all sorts of apparatus(装备).
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Christine filmed my rescue attempt and posted photos on social media. Angela gave Stucky water. I focused on digging out her back legs. When I tried to wipe the sweat from my eyes, I would get sand in them. An hour later, we still weren’t making much progress—whenever we nearly freed a leg, which took about 20 minutes, she would get sucked back into the sand. And the more she struggled to get free, the more stuck she became. We were worried it would get dark and the tide would come in.
Luckily, at that point, a pickup arrived carrying 7 guys with all sorts of apparatus (装备). Someone saw posted photos of the camel rescue on social media. Word then quickly spread to the small farms a few kilometres away. They joined in and worked super-hard. Everyone was working on all four of the camel’s legs at the same time, using different techniques. When we finally got her out, Stucky’s legs were effectively dead. Then the guys massaged her legs to get the blood flowing. It took about 20 minutes for her to stand. Then she turned, stretched and gave us a wink goodbye.

A
Top Chinese Restaurants in the Greater Seattle Area
Dumpling Generation
As the name implies, baskets of steamed dumplings are the move here. The wrappers are hand-rolled—not too thin or thick—and the fillings are savory and juicy. Ifyou prefer a strong taste, get the dumplings that include Chinese chives (韭菜), which have large, flat leaves that aren’t afraid to announce their presence.
Xi’an Noodles
Biang biang noodles take their name from the satisfying sound you hear when chefs slap dough (面团) on the counter. The impact creates the specialty noodles of the northwest Chinese city of Xi’an. These chewy, hand-ripped noodles center in most dishes on the menu. Order them as a soup,or as a bowl tossed with spicy cumin (孜然) lamb or just some chili hot oil.
Friendship BBQ
The Northeastern-Chinese-style grilled baroque restaurant is actually the Seattle branch of a New York-based chain. Meats and seafood come coated in a cumin-forward seasoning with your choice of spice level. Don’t miss the side dishes, including the garlic eggplant, which is roasted until the flesh is covered with a garlic sauce. Despite its authentic taste, you’ll constantly be wowed by its cool new recipes. That’s probably what sets it apart in the Chinese food scene.
Imperial Garden
The dim sum menu contains all the favorites and any extras make great takeaway. But Imperial Garden’s star remains the Peking Roast Duck—shaved pieces of meat topped with long narrow pieces of shiny duck skin,served with steamed pancakes. While the restaurant uses white tablecloths and is spacious enough to accommodate large banquets, the vibe (氛围) isn’t formal.
1. What do Dumpling Generation and Xi’an Noodles have in common?
A. Steamed foods. B. Plain taste.
C. Handmade dishes. D. Northwestern origin.
2. How is Friendship BBQ different from other Chinese restaurants?
A. It’s not locally owned. B. It has innovative spirit.
C. It features roasted dishes. D. It has casual atmosphere.
3. If you plan to organize a grand family gathering, which is the most suitable place?
A. Imperial Garden. B. Dumpling Generation.
C. Friendship BBQ. D. Xi’an Noodles.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A

Located among the forests where eagles fly overhead, Jabal Sawda has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s best places for mountaineers. At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three meters shy of Jabal Ferwa.
For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.
Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a love for mountaineering. “If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”
The twins’ love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012, after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.
4. What can we learn about Jabal Sawda?
A. It’s Saudi Arabia’s best scenic spot. B. It’s lower than Jabal Ferwa.
C. It’s Saudi Arabia’s highest peak. D. It’s better-known than Jabal Ferwa.
5. Why have the twins traveled to different countries in the past decade?
A. To write books about mountains. B. To rename the peaks of mountains.
C. To identify the highest mountains. D. To challenge other mountaineers.
6. What do Matthew’s words concerning their work imply in paragraph 3?
A. It satisfies their curiosity. B. It strengthens their motivation.
C. It attracts more mountaineers. D. It guarantees informed choices.
7. Which of the following best describes the twins?
A. Ambitious but impractical. B. Determined and adventurous.
C. Intelligent and unselfish. D. Peace-loving and eco-friendly.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】

There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn’t treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair?
We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society—it’s largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.
I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to these verity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don’t create fairness, but people’s desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us—they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.
8. What is the primary purpose of the text?
A. To promote “efforts over complaint”.
B. To stress the importance of fairness.
C. To share an inspiring story of a friend.
D. To prove that fairness is a state of mind.
9. What does the underlined word “abound” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Change fully.
B. Remain the same.
C. Exist in numbers.
D. Disappear completely.
10. What opinion may the writer agree with?
A. Most of us can affect the results we achieve.
B. Our background determines our choices.
C People’s desire and determination create unfairness.
D. We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Fairness Is Justice
B. Life Is Not Fair—Deal with It
C. Fairness Comes First
D. Cry for Fairness
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者讨论了公平问题，阐述了人生没有绝对的公平，但要勇敢面对不公平的道理。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。 通读全文，尤其根据第三段中“Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.(不管他们面临怎样的挑战，他们都有选择贡献而不是抱怨。)”可知，文章的主要目的是要告诉人们要努力进取而不是抱怨。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。 划线词句前文“We have little choice early in life.(我们在生命的早期几乎没有选择。)”说明人生的初期没有选择，相对而言，人生的后期就有了选择，从而推知划线词所在句“But as we grow older, choices abound. (但随着年龄的增长，我们的选择abound)”中划线词应为“有了（选择），有更多（的选择）”的意思，和C选项“Exist in numbers.(大量存在)”，故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第二段中“I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain.(我一直相信，虽然我们无法控制生命的开始，但我们大多数人都有能力影响我们所获得的结果。)”可知，作者认为我们大多数人都能影响我们所取得的结果。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中“It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all.(无论你是出生在银汤匙、塑料汤匙还是根本没有勺子的家庭，这都无关紧要。)”以及“Stories such as this are all around us—they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.(这样的故事在我们身边随处可见——它们不是奇迹，也不是罕见的例外。然而，他们却确实证明了他们对公平思维模式的无视。)”等内容可知，本文用身边的事例阐述了人生中没有绝对的公平，但我们要勇敢面对不公平的道理，因此最好的题目是B选项“Life Is Not Fair—Deal with It(生活是不公平的——面对它)”，故选B。
D
The 2010s brought no shortage of miraculous technologies, from tablet computers to4G mobile internet. But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的) 1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand.
Generative AI, its developers say, will be different. Not since the invention of the internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination. The technology is consumer-friendly: within days of its release to the public, Chat GPT, the most famous AI chat bot, had millions of users. It is easy to see how this innovation could improve all types of work at all types of firms, from increasing the accuracy of doctors’ diagnoses to helping programmers write software code more efficiently.
With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time. Although the internet began to be used by some companies in the early 1990s, it was not until the late 2000s that two-thirds of American businesses had a website. About 70 world’s largest firms still show no interest in AI, according to our analysis. Some evidence even suggests that usage of Chat GPT and its competitors is falling — perhaps as people have tried it out, and then decided it is not for them.
Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old. Replacing outdated systems can be costly and complicated. Moreover, in the many industries either run or heavily regulated by the government, such as healthcare, education and construction, bosses and trade unions often resist the application of new technology, worried that it will lead to job losses. In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one.
12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. How productivity affects average wages.
B. Why the 2010s is a productive decade.
C. Whether economic growth follows new technologies.
D. What innovative companies care for.
13. What does the author want to indicate by mentioning Chat GPT in paragraph 2?
A. AI’s public imagination. B. Consumers’ enthusiasm.
C. AI’s healthy profits. D. AI’s huge potential.
14. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Big firms are less motivated to adopt new tech.
B. More efforts are needed to advocate AI.
C. Chat GPT is falling behind its competitors.
D. Websites were uncommon in the early 2000s.
15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards the future of AI?
A. Hopeful. B. Worried. C. Cautious. D. Pessimistic.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了经验表明，技术突破和平均生活水平的提高并不总是齐头并进的，介绍了人工智能的潜能以及存在的一些挑战。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The 2010s brought no shortage of miraculous technologies, from tablet computers to4G mobile internet. But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的)1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand.(2010年代不乏奇迹般的技术，从平板电脑到4G移动互联网。但令人惊讶的是，这些措施对经济的影响微乎其微。在那十年里，发达国家的生产率平均每年增长可怜的1%，压低了平均工资。创新的公司拥抱新技术，但许多不那么冒险的公司却不闻不问。经验表明，技术突破和平均生活水平的提高并不总是齐头并进的)”可知，第一段主要是谈论新技术的诞生是否一定会导致经济增长。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Generative AI, its developers say, will be different. Not since the invention of the internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination.(其开发人员表示，生成式人工智能将有所不同。自互联网发明以来，还没有一项新技术如此俘获了公众的想象力)”以及之后举例Chat GPT并列举其各种用途，证明其被采用的巨大潜力。由此推知，作者在第二段提到GPT是想说明人工智能的巨大潜力。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time. (话虽如此，人工智能要想真正在经济中普及开来，它需要在最具创新性的公司之外留下印记。而这需要时间)”可推知，推广人工智能还需要做出更多的努力。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old.(事实上，即使是最强大的技术也需要时间来被采用，因为公司倾向于使用软件和服务的混合，其中一些可能已经有几年甚至几十年的历史了)”以及“In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one.(假以时日，人工智能很可能会改变人们的生活和工作方式。但是，广泛使用的道路，以及由此带来的生产力繁荣，将是一条漫长的道路)”可推知，作者对人工智能的未来是谨慎的。故选C。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. ___16___
___17___Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.
It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. ___18___It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus.
It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. ___19___
Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. ___20___Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.
A The only time you can make changes is right now.
B. With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.
C. You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training.
D. Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength.
E. You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.
F. Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.
G. Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. A 19. G 20. F

【16题详解】
根据空前的“Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively.(增强精神力量与增强体力类似。每天只需几分钟，你就可以训练你的大脑以不同的方式思考，管理你的情绪，并表现得富有成效。)”可知，第一段总体是在讨论提高精神力量，空处为最后一句，应该总结本段并引出下段，后面都在讲提高精神力量的方法，因此B选项“With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.(有规律的练习可以增强你的精神力量。)”说明练习可以增强精神力量，引出下一段的方法，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
空格处是本段主题句，由空后的“Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.(想想你生命中感恩的三件事。它可以像你喝的干净的水一样简单。写一本感恩日记，在晚餐时列出你感激的事情，或者养成在睡觉前找到你感激的事情的习惯。久而久之，感恩就成了你的第二天性。)”可知，本段主题为通过把感恩变成一种习惯来改变思维方式，E选项“You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.(你可以通过养成感恩的习惯来改变你的大脑。)”说明可以通过养成感恩的习惯来改变你的大脑，概括了本段内容，可作为主题句。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据空前句“It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow.(当你想到上周发生的事情或明天会发生的可怕的事情时，你不可能保持坚强。)”以及空后句“It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present.(因此，能够专注于当下是非常重要的。)”可知，这里在说明当下的重要性，唯一可以做出改变的时刻只有当下，A选项“The only time you can make changes is right now.(你唯一能做出改变的时间就是现在。)”说明现在就要做出改变，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据空处前一句“So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better.(所以当你难过的时候，把你的肩膀向后仰，微笑，你会感觉好一些。)”可知，要主动地寻求改变才会让自己感觉更好，G选项“Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.(永远记住，自信的感觉不会凭空而来。)”说明自信的感觉不会凭空出现（需要自己做出改变），因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据空处后一句“Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.(自怨自艾，第一次失败就放弃，这些坏习惯会阻碍你建立自己的精神力量。)”可知，需要关注那些使你失去精神力量的坏习惯，F选项“Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.(注意那些让你失去精神力量的坏习惯。)”说明了要注意那些让你失去精神力量的坏习惯，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选F。

考查非谓语动词。句意：夸父一刻也停不下来，他像风一样一路狂奔，奋力追赶。struggle和he之间构成逻辑上的主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故填struggling。
【43题详解】
考查谓语动词的时态和语态。句意：大半天过去了，夸父终于要在禺谷赶上太阳了，而禺谷正是太阳落山的地方！根据上文Kua Fu was可知为一般过去时，且suppose与sun之间构成逻辑上的被动关系，为一般过去时的被动语态，谓语用单数。故填was supposed。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：夸父用尽最后一点力气，把手杖扔了出去，那里变成了一片桃林，果实丰富，是人们乘凉休息的地方，也是他们继续赶路前吃桃子的地方。作介词of的宾语，应用名词strength，表抽象概念，不可数。故填strength。
【45题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：夸父用尽最后一点力气，把手杖扔了出去，那里变成了一片桃林，果实丰富，是人们乘凉休息的地方，也是他们继续赶路前吃桃子的地方。引导时间状语从句，表示“在……之前”应用before。故填before。

【答案】Dear readers,
Homes lost and schools ruined, those students who are suffering from flood are in desperate need of help. Therefore, I feel it an obligation to donate books to them.
Firstly, books are the aspect that is of primary urgency! While food and clean water supply can be restored at a steady pace, having books to resume their study without delay is the best way to get their normal life back. Second, this donation does enhance our social responsibility and hopefully can help relieve the mental suffering of the less fortunate.
Just as the saying goes: “The rose in her hand, the fragrance in mine.” We’ll be rewarded by a sense of delight gained through a hand.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’m from the fishing town of Kinsale, in Ireland. Life is pretty good there, but Dubai caught my attention when I was 18. I moved there myself 10 years ago as a 30-year-old film-maker. It’s been a wild ride, full of chaos and wonder.
My wife, Christine, lives here with me; when her sister Angela came to visit in April this year, the three of us set off in my pickup truck. It was a cloudless day, touching 40 ℃. The heat and humidity were violent, so we had to sightsee from the car.
We took the scenic route between Dubai and Ras al-Khaimah, a charming city in the north. A year earlier, while off-roading with a friend, I got stuck at a water crossing there, at the only inlet on the coast, where the sea flows into a swampy lagoon (咸水湖). I had to be rescued, and learned how quickly the tide (潮水) could come in.
Christine spotted what looked like the Loch Ness monster stuck in the sand. We decided to investigate and drove up to where the sand met the lagoon. It was a camel, not moving.
Since relocating here, I have always kept a shovel, rope, torches and knives in my car—getting stuck in the desert can be debilitating (耗费体力的).
I got out my shovel and approached the camel. It was a female; we nicknamed her Stucky. It looked as if she had been trapped for hours—she was in quite deep. I’ve been around camels a lot in Dubai; they are massive. They can be friendly, but they can also be fierce. I approached Stucky slowly and started to gently dig away the sand around her. I kept patting her. I knew if she swung her head around quickly, she could injure herself, or me.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Christine filmed my rescue attempt and posted photos on social media.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Luckily, at that point, a pickup arrived carrying 7 guys with all sorts of apparatus(装备).
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Christine filmed my rescue attempt and posted photos on social media. Angela gave Stucky water. I focused on digging out her back legs. When I tried to wipe the sweat from my eyes, I would get sand in them. An hour later, we still weren’t making much progress—whenever we nearly freed a leg, which took about 20 minutes, she would get sucked back into the sand. And the more she struggled to get free, the more stuck she became. We were worried it would get dark and the tide would come in.
Luckily, at that point, a pickup arrived carrying 7 guys with all sorts of apparatus (装备). Someone saw posted photos of the camel rescue on social media. Word then quickly spread to the small farms a few kilometres away. They joined in and worked super-hard. Everyone was working on all four of the camel’s legs at the same time, using different techniques. When we finally got her out, Stucky’s legs were effectively dead. Then the guys massaged her legs to get the blood flowing. It took about 20 minutes for her to stand. Then she turned, stretched and gave us a wink goodbye.
