Mr.Proctor，who has two artificial hips (臀部) and a false knee，jumped more than 13，000 feet to successfully complete his first ever free－fall jump.He said，“I’ve spent a lot of my life up in the air but this was a completely different experience.It was a nightmare trying to open up the hatches (舱口) and jump out of the plane back then，but，am so glad I have managed to complete the jump and I would love to do it again in the near future.”
Mr.Proctor joined the RAF in 1942 and he was stationed in Durban，South Africa，to do his training before being sent to Zimbabwe where he earned his wings.He went on to become a fighter pilot in Egypt，India and went on a jungle self－preservation course before being sent to Burma in 1945.He ended his career in the armed forces in 1946 to return to his job as a store keeper in a shoe factory and went on to become a lorry driver for 33 years.
His wife，Olive，passed away eight years ago，but Mr.Proctor has been determined to continue traveling around the world.He said，“Olive died eight years ago and it was absolutely upsetting.But I’ve had great support from my family and friends who always encourage me to enjoy life.”

Researchers believe they have accurately estimated Antarctica’s Weddell seal population for the first time—using images from space and the eyes of citizen scientists.
Previous estimates of their population were “more back－of－the－envelope type calculations”，said Dr.Michelle LaRue，a professor of New Zealand’s University of Canterbury.“The previous research was done by traditional surveyors，but you can’t physically get to the entire Antarctic continent all at one time，” she said.
The results were “inaccurate”，so in 2016 LaRue created the first estimate of the seals’ baseline population，using satellite imagery and the keen eyes of 330，000 curious volunteers.“We combined the imagery with a web platform to conduct a citizen science campaign to find out where seals are present，their abundance，and the environmental factors that influence their habitat preferences，” LaRue said.
They discovered that，at the time the satellite images were taken in 2021，the global population was actually just 40% of the 800，000 animals previously estimated.The study，published in late 2021，estimated that there were about 202，000 sub－adult and adult female Weddell seals in Antarctica.Male seals were generally not captured in the satellite images because they were typically under the ice，guarding their territories，LaRue added.
The study also found that Weddell seals lived on about 1% of the ice and were picky about where they settled.The project relied heavily on volunteers to search the satellite images for signs of seals.Participants were given images of an area in Antarctica to scour and asked to tick a box saying if they believed they could see a seal or not.The more people to click yes，the more efficient the narrowing down of habitats became.
“The method is now being employed by other scientists to help determine the population of walrus(海象) in the Arctic，” LaRue said，“Looking at broader ecosystems and the relationships between animals and their environment was important in the long run，but to do that，it was helpful to have population guides for single species.” Once scientists have that information，they “can start adding it all together and putting together the puzzle a little bit better”.
28.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A.Limitation of previous studies.
B.Significance of previous estimates.
C.Inspiration for LaRue’s research.
D.Difficulty in exploring the Antarctica.
29.What does the underlined word “scour” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Record. B.Appreciate.
C.Examine. D.Post.
30.Walrus are mentioned in the last Paragraph to present ________.
A.a suggestion for follow－up studies.
B.supporting evidence for the research results.
C.an application of the research method.
D.further explanations of the research methods.
31.What is the purpose of the text
A.To call for more research on counting seals.
B.To introduce a breakthrough in seal research.
C.To appeal to people to protect Weddell seals.
D.To discuss the involvement of citizen scientists.
D
Astronauts floating around Earth might soon be able to make their own delicious，creamy breakfast.This is thanks to Australian high school students.They want to see if the astronauts can make yogurt in space!
Six students from Haileybury，a high school in Melbourne are participating in a program led by some scientists.They placed the bacteria producing yogurt in a culture (培养菌) and packed 36 containers with frozen milk and the bacteria.Then，they sent the containers to the International Space Station (ISS)，where the astronauts defrosted the frozen ingredients.These students are working with the scientists to study how bacteria react to microgravity，which is only a small part of the gravity we experience on Earth.
But how exactly do bacteria make yogurt It all starts with the bacteria that live in milk.These bacteria eat some of the sugar in milk and create a kind of acid，which makes the milk thick and creamy.This process is fermentation (发酵).
The astronauts will study these containers to see how yogurts change depending on the type of milk—either full cream cow’s milk or soy milk.They will also test different fermentation time—either 24，48 or 72 hours.
When the yogurts come back to Earth，the students will analyze their nutrients.One Haileybury student，Chiara Sgroi said one goal of the experiment is to figure out which yogurt is the most nutritious.“We can even get to taste them，which is pretty exciting，” said Sgroi.
One day，we might be able to send astronauts with some frozen bacteria and milk.We hope that they can easily make healthful yogurt in space.
32.What will the students study in the program
A.What bacteria need to survive.
B.How bacteria react to microgravity.
C.Whether microgravity exists in space.
D.Why astronauts can’t make yogurts in space.
33.What do the astronauts need to make yogurt
A.Bacteria and cream. B.Milk and acid.
C.Cream and sugar. D.Bacteria and milk.
34.What may make Sgroi excited a lot
A.Tasting the yogurts made in the ISS.
B.Making the most nutritious space yogurts.
C.Testing the yogurts in different tempera－tures.
D.Studying the nutrients of the yogurts in the ISS.
35.What might be the best title for the text
A.Students Observe the Change of Yogurt in Space
B.Students Send Bacteria into Space to Make Yogurt
C.Students Find a New Way to Make Healthy Yogurt
D.Students Make Good Yogurt for Astronauts in Space

Capturing a dramatic sky with a camera is more difficult than it seems.With the sky lighter than the land，the camera will typically over－expose the sky，turning a brilliant blue into an unexciting gray.__36__
◆Time is right.
Landscape photography may not require the timing that’s necessary for capturing a baby’s smile.__37__The sky that’s gray one day，could be bright blue the next.When planning out a landscape photo，consider how the timing will impact the sky.
◆__38__
Photography rules are sometimes meant to be broken.Sometimes，using the wrong white balance setting creates a more dramatic sky.This is especially true when shooting towards the beginning or end of the day.
◆Compose for the sky.
__39__If you are shooting a photo with an average－looking sky，try placing the horizon on the upper third of the image，so more of the land is included in the photo.But if the sky is really dramatic，take advantage of that and include more of it in the frame by placing the horizon on the lower third.
◆Use a filter(滤镜).
__40__ It limits the light coming in for bright scenes or long exposures.Every landscape photographer should have a filter in their camera bag in order to capture more dramatic skies.
A.A filter is like sunglasses.
B.Try the wrong white balance.
C.You can ignore any other factors.
D.Wait for a sunny day to take your photo.
E.Pay attention to where you place the horizon.
F.But timing is a big part to shoot a perfect sky.

One of my favorite family photographs was taken last year at Disneyland.We were at the __41__ of a ride called “Splash Mountain” and the picture was taken just as we were starting to __42__ down.Disneyland cleverly designed an automatic camera，__43__ at the most frightening part of the ride to take photos of the riders.These __44__ pictures are then displayed at the exit of Splash Mountain and are available to __45__.They are not expensive.
I love this photograph because it’s so real.Usually，when you are going to take pictures，you tidy your hair and __46__ a pretty smile，wanting to look best.This picture is natural，showing a perfect mixture of __47__ and terror on our faces.My husband’s mouth is open in a scream as he hangs on to me.My son is __48__ his baseball cap backwards so it won’t fly off.
Every time I look at that photograph，I feel __49__.Through this picture，I sense that life should be an adventure and that we should have courage and enjoy new __50__ all the time.However，most of the time we draw back __51__ fear.Fear is a kind of sick feeling that can __52__ us from experiencing new interesting things in life.In fact，just as Franklin D.Roosevelt __53__ it，the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
So，when you feel like you’re at the top of a roller coaster with a huge，alarming drop，don’t retreat(撤退).That is the time to __54__.That’s the time to put a big smile on your face，scream if you need to，hug those you __55__ and move forward towards the new adventures ahead.

Wrinkles of confusion rippled across Holly’s forehead as she unwrapped the gift from her best friend，Susan.“I...I thought you could use it for something.” Susan’s stammered (结巴的) explanation did nothing to help us understand why a twelve－by－eighteen－inch dark blue carpet rag was being presented as a birthday gift.
My heart went out to my daughter.The murmured “thanks” was barely hearable and she laid the piece of carpet on the kitchen counter，and the two girls headed outside to play with the family dogs.
The next morning，I carried a bag of kitchen rubbish outside.My heart hurt as I lifted the lid of the trash can and saw Susan’s carpet lying among the other discarded items.Hesitating only a moment，I reached in and took it from amid the junk.After a light brushing，I brought it into the house and put it in the hall closet.
Without mentioning Susan’s name for nearly three weeks，Holly came home with an invitation of Susan’s birthday.Although her voice carried a so－what attitude，I sensed she was pleased by the invitation.The following day，I drove Holly to Susan’s home.At the end of the road，we saw a tall woman wearing a shapeless sweater over navy blue pants standing in the doorway to greet us as we approached the small farmhouse.It must be Susan’s mom.“ Excuse the mess，” she apologized，holding the door open while we threaded our way through stuff that seemed to be everywhere.Then，Susan’s mom waved a hand toward the kitchen counter，which was barely visible through the mix of medicines.“This is my medicine cabinet，” she explained.
Susan led us through the house.It seemed to be alive with four－legged fur kittens roaming underfoot and sprawling across the backs of the dirty sofa and chairs.She proudly showed us her room，which was decorated with used furnishings.After eating a simple home－made birthday cake，we offered our thanks for the visit and said goodbye.
注意：续写词数应为 150 左右。
Holly sat quietly in the car on the way home.
After pulling the car into the garage，I went inside and headed for the hall closet.

2.续写线索：回家路上一言不发—垃圾桶里寻找地毯—妈妈归还地毯—霍莉流下泪水—认识到礼物的珍贵

Holly__sat__quietly__in__the__car__on__the__way__home. Stealing a glance，I noticed her back was straight.Her head and shoulders were thrust forward as if willing the car to move faster.No sooner had we come to a stop in the driveway than she pushed open the car door and walked purposefully toward the side gate.Curious，I shifted into park and followed.A lump caught in my throat as I observed my daughter standing next to the trash can peering inside.Her shoulders sank as she replaced the lid and dragged herself into the house.
After__pulling__the__car__into__the__garage，I__went__inside__and__headed__for__the__hall__closet. By this time，Holly was sitting at the kitchen table staring out the window as if her heart were stolen.“Is this what you were looking for？” I placed the piece of carpet on the table in front of her.She jumped from the chair with astonishment.“Thanks，Mom.” A tear or two slipped from her eyes and splashed onto the dark blue rag that，as if by magic，had become the most precious birthday present in the whole world.
