Four Dog-Friendly Vacation Spots to Explore
Vacations mean family time and if you are a pet parent, there’s no reason why you can’t take your dog with you. There are four dog-friendly vacation destinations in the US.
Portland, Oregon
This city has pet-friendly trails (小径) and 34 dog parks and one of the most popular dog parks is located in Mt Tabor Park. After playing with the other dogs, you and your fur baby can walk to the top of an inactive volcano and appreciate the view of the city and afterwards, you can have a picnic at the nearby reservoir.
Bar Harbor, Maine
This island town may be small in size but is very close to Acadia National Park. There are trails for you and your dog to hike and you can drive the Scenic Park Loop Road to the top of Cadillac Mountain for a breathtaking view. Dogs are welcome on the park buses and also on buses in the town.
Austin, Texas
The city is open to pets as well as dozens of restaurants. The Austin Terrier serves dog-themed sandwiches and pizza. You and your dog can go on a hike or bike ride on the 10-mile trail at Lady Bird Lake or you can rent a kayak (皮划艇) if your dog doesn’t mind getting wet. Just outside the city, you can explore the woods at the Barton Creek Greenbelt Preserve.
Sedona, Arizona
In Sedona, you can visit Slide Rock State Park, a 43-acre space located just outside the city limits. Most of Sedona’s hiking trails allow dogs, so do campgrounds in the area. If you want to stay in the city, you can visit the dog park which has separate areas for small, large and senior dogs to play off leash (狗绳).
1. Where will you go if you want to walk to the top of an inactive volcano with your dog
A. Sedona Arizona. B. Austin, Texas.
C. Bar Harbor, Maine. D. Portland, Oregon.
2. What can your dog be allowed to do in Bar Harbor

Nehal is a student with a physical disability. In his free time, Nehal loves playing outdoors with his neighbourhood friends. He also attends Chol, one of the few mainstream schools in Suva, Fiji, which offers suitable learning for children with disabilities. The school has adapted some of its facilities since Nehal joined to create an accessible and more inclusive learning environment for students with disabilities.
This began with placing his classroom closer to the bathroom so that Nehal could more readily access the facility. As he and his classmates progress in their academic studies each year, their classroom doesn’t move like other classrooms to ensure Nehal consistently has a comfortable access to the facility every year.
Within the classroom, students typically sit on desks with benches. To adapt to Nehal’s physical impairment (障碍), he has a special and lower desk positioned against a wall that he can lean (倚靠) on for additional back support.
His teachers work closely with him on his literacy and numeracy (算术) skills while he has continued to stand out in languages—Hindi, English and Fijian.
Being in an inclusive learning environment is important to Nehal’s development. The support of his classmates both in and outside of the classroom has also been key to Nehal’s learning experience. From being a shoulder to lean on as he walks around the school to making sure he joins in class projects, his classmates are always on hand to ensure Nehal is included in the day-to-day activities at school.
At the end of the school day, Nehal is picked up by his mother and his sister. Once home, they are joined by Nitin, Nehal’s father. “He is like a gift God gives us,” his father speaks of Nehal.
4. What’s Nehal’s classroom in Chol like
A. It has a bathroom. B. It moves every year.
C. It is on the top floor. D. It remains in one place.
5. Why does the school arrange a special desk for Nehal
A. To take care of his physical condition. B. To let him listen to the teachers carefully.
C. To prevent him talking with other students. D. To help him go out of the classroom more easily.
6. How do Nehal’s classmates treat him
A. They ignore him. B. They talk behind his back.
C. They offer him much help. D. They challenge him constantly.
7. Which word can best describe Nehal
A. Ambitious. B. Lucky. C. Selfish. D. Lazy.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Nehal是一名身体有残疾的学生，但是学校和同学都给予了他很多帮助。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As he and his classmates progress in their academic studies each year, their classroom doesn’t move like other classrooms to ensure Nehal consistently has a comfortable access to the facility every year.(随着他和他的同学们每年在学业上的进步，他们的教室不会像其他教室一样移动，以确保尼哈尔每年都能舒适地使用设施)”可知，为了便于Nehal行动，他的教室不进行轮换。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To adapt to Nehal’s physical impairment (障碍), he has a special and lower desk positioned against a wall that he can lean (倚靠) on for additional back support.(为了适应尼哈尔的身体缺陷，他在靠墙的地方放了一张特殊的、较低的桌子，他可以靠在上面，以获得额外的背部支撑)”可知，学校为Nehal安排特殊的桌子是为了照顾他的身体情况。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“From being a shoulder to lean on as he walks around the school to making sure he joins in class projects, his classmates are always on hand to ensure Nehal is included in the day-to-day activities at school.(从在学校走路时可以依靠的肩膀，到确保他参加课堂项目，他的同学们总是在身边，以确保尼哈尔参与学校的日常活动)”可推断，Nehal的同学们对他的帮助很大。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Being in an inclusive learning environment is important to Nehal’s development. The support of his classmates both in and outside of the classroom has also been key to Nehal’s learning experience. From being a shoulder to lean on as he walks around the school to making sure he joins in class projects, his classmates are always on hand to ensure Nehal is included in the day-to-day activities at school.(在一个包容的学习环境中学习对Nehal的发展非常重要。同学们在课堂内外的支持对Nehal的学习经历也很重要。从在学校走路时可以依靠的肩膀，到确保他参加课堂项目，他的同学们总是在身边，以确保尼哈尔参与学校的日常活动)”结合Nehal所在的学校为了照顾他把教室安排在离厕所近的地方。他的同学们给他提供了很大的帮助，老师们也很关注他的学习。此外他的父母认为他是上帝送给他们的礼物，故推测他是幸运的。故选B。
C
Contrary to “popular opinion”, the scientific pursuit for knowledge is not a predictable process. To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. This aspect is similar to art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to increase creative freedom.
“Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable. They both provide a perspective on reality,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers. “From the outside, the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy. But the scientific process can also unfold in an unpredictable way.”
“Scientists can learn a lot from artists,” says Weijers. “Association and creativity are central to art. Those aspects require more attention in science as the creative process is the key of science.”
“As a scientist, you use different methods, but it is equally about how you visualize your understandings of reality and the connections between them. This is sometimes just as visual as art,” says Weijers. One example is a recent special project in which Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel, professor of Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter, measured the forces that act on plant cells. A molecular (分子的) sensor was used to visualize the different forces. They showed the results in colorful images, each representing a different force.
What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society. There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science. Weijers says, “It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the process leading to discovery. As a scientist, you are doubted if you say something that is different a few years later. Then you are viewed as unreliable. But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science. What we scientists can achieve in the coming period is to provide more chances for people to focus on the process. Personally, I think that the connection with art can help to lead the focus on the process than the result.”
8. What does Dolf Weijers think of science process
A. It is always serious. B. It can’t be accidental.
C. It doesn’t allow failures. D. It can be unexpected.
9. What does the underlined sentence “This is sometimes just as visual as art” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Visualizing is a must for science.
B. Science can be visualized like art.
C. Science should be understood by visualizing.
D. Visualizing is as easy in science as in art.
10. Why do common people mistrust science in Dolf Weijers’ opinion
A. Scientists usually draw unreliable conclusions.
B. Scientists don’t use visualizing to show the results.
C. The scientific process is unknown to them.
D. The scientific results are complex for the public.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Differences Between Science and Art
B. Similarities Between Science and Art
C. Scientists and Artists Contribute to the World
D. Science and Art Are Tools to Understand the World
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了艺术创作和科学研究之间的关系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段的“But the scientific process can also unfold in an unpredictable way.(但科学过程也可能以一种不可预测的方式展开)”可知，Dolf Weijers认为科学过程是不可预料的。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线句前“‘As a scientist, you use different methods, but it is equally about how you visualize your understandings of reality and the connections between them.’(作为一名科学家，你使用不同方法，但同样重要的是你如何将你对现实的理解以及它们之间的联系可视化)”可知，不管使用什么方法，重要的是要将科学家对现实的理解以及它们之间的联系可视化。由此猜测，画线句句意为“科学能够像艺术一样视觉化”。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the process leading to discovery.(它往往会造成错误的印象，因为只有科学研究的结果被呈现出来，而人们对导致发现的过程没有任何见解)”可知，Dolf Weijers认为普通大众不了解科学过程，所以他们通常不信任科学研究。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文，并结合第一段的“To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. This aspect is similar to art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to increase creative freedom.(为了做出新的发现，研究人员需要有创造性、失败和偶然学习的自由。这方面与艺术相似。这就是为什么瓦赫宁根的科学家们向艺术家寻求灵感，并就如何增加创作自由交换想法)”可知，本文主要论述了科学研究与艺术创作之间的相似之处。因此B项“科学和艺术的相似之处”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。
D
When fireworks are lit in celebration of the New Year, wild birds often experience lasting harmful effects. An international team of researchers tracked Arctic migratory(迁移的) geese as they traveled in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands over eight New Year periods to study the impacts of fireworks. Data from 347 geese showed that birds suddenly leave where they are sleeping on New Year’s Eve and fly farther away from where people are.
Geese’ lives were disturbed by the noise and flashes and these geese ended up resting two hours less and sometimes flying nonstop as far as 310 miles compared to the nights when there were no fireworks.
Geese spend their winter in Western Europe to escape extreme Arctic winters in their breeding grounds. Still, winters here are maybe not severely cold, but rather dark. As predators(食肉动物) are around in the dark, geese can only search for food in the light hours. During the night, they usually settle on small lakes to save energy and rest in relative safety. During New Year’s Eve, geese are heavily scared, as the fireworks sounds and flashing lights are unexpected to them and they view them as a threat to their life.
But their changed behavior didn’t end with the fireworks. The geese didn’t return to their original sleeping locations and spent more time searching for food to store energy for days after the celebrations ended.
The researchers hope that the findings will be used to improve fireworks management. They want to provide decision makers with real numbers to support their discussions. As already stated above, they suggest that some measures should be taken for geese to escape fireworks’ disturbance during New Year’s Eve—nationwide regulations regarding nature reserve areas and some centralization of fireworks displays, as well as lighting public fireworks in urban areas away from where the geese live.
12. What may the author think of the situation of geese during the New Year
A. Worrying. B. Promising.
C. Touching. D. Amusing.
13. What can we know about geese from paragraph 3
A. They enjoy flying in the dark.
B. They spend the winter in the Arctic.
C. They are terrified of fireworks.
D. They usually search for food at night.
14. What is the researchers’ advice on protecting geese
A. Setting up goose parks in the city.
B. Banning fireworks during New Year’s Eve.
C. Persuading people into buying silent fireworks.
D. Setting off fireworks far from geese’ habitats.
15. In which section can this text be found in a newspaper
A. Travel. B. Nature. C. Culture. D. Education.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了除夕放烟花对大雁的影响，作者建议在除夕期间采取一些措施，让大雁避开烟花爆竹的干扰。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Data from 347 geese showed that birds suddenly leave where they are sleeping on New Year’s Eve and fly farther away from where people are.( 来自347只鹅的数据显示，鸟类在除夕夜突然离开它们睡觉的地方，飞得离人们所在的地方更远)”可推断，大雁的生活受到烟花的干扰，所以作者认为大雁在新年期间的状况令人担忧，故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“During New Year’s Eve, geese are heavily scared, as the fireworks sounds and flashing lights are unexpected to them and they view them as a threat to their life.( 在除夕夜，鹅非常害怕，因为烟花的声音和闪烁的灯光是它们意想不到的，它们认为这是对生命的威胁)”可知，大雁害怕烟花，故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“ As already stated above, they suggest that some measures should be taken for geese to escape fireworks’ disturbance during New Year’s Eve—nationwide regulations regarding nature reserve areas and some centralization of fireworks displays, as well as lighting public fireworks in urban areas away from where the geese live.( 如上所述，他们建议在除夕期间采取一些措施，让鹅避开烟花爆竹的干扰——全国有关自然保护区的规定和一些集中的烟花表演，以及在远离鹅生活的城市地区燃放公共烟花。)”可知，研究者建议在远离大雁栖息地的地方燃放烟花，故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Data from 347 geese showed that birds suddenly leave where they are sleeping on New Year’s Eve and fly farther away from where people are.( 来自347只鹅的数据显示，鸟类在除夕夜突然离开它们睡觉的地方，飞得离人们所在的地方更远)”、第三段“During New Year’s Eve, geese are heavily scared, as the fireworks sounds and flashing lights are unexpected to them and they view them as a threat to their life.( 在除夕夜，鹅非常害怕，因为烟花的声音和闪烁的灯光是它们意想不到的，它们认为这是对生命的威胁)”以及最后一段“The researchers hope that the findings will be used to improve fireworks management(研究人员希望这些发现将用于改进烟花爆竹的管理)”可知，本文主要介绍了除夕放烟花对大雁的影响，属于自然范畴，因此这篇文章有可能被刊登在报纸的“自然”版面，故选B项。

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。
The dramatic incident occurred during an afternoon hike. Four friends and teammates from Northwest College in Cody , Wyoming, had been hiking in the Montana national forest. As they hiked, a bear suddenly attacked the closest hiker Brady Lowry. “It shook me around and I didn't know what to do,” Brady recalled the terrifying attack. The bear shook him by the arm and then threw him away.
Brady's friend, Kendall Cummings, reacted quickly to try to scare the bear away. He yelled and kicked at the bear and pulled on the bear's fur. “I didn't want to lose my friend,” said Kendall.“I could have run and potentially lost a friend but I didn't do that. I thought I would get him off and save him.”
The bear turned its attention to Kendall and knocked him to the ground. In protecting his friend, Kendall became the target of the bear's forceful attack. Eventually, the other teammates scared the bear enough so that it soon withdrew and ran off.
After the attack, Kendall was badly injured, but he managed to pull himself up. The teammates then helped Kendall off the mountain by supporting his weight and carrying him part of the way. Once the boys reached a location with cell service, they dialed 911 for help.
After half an hour, some rescuers arrived at the scene. They examined Kendall and Brady and they were sent to Billings Clinic Hospital in a rush for their injuries. Brady broke his arm and suffered serious wounds in the initial attack. Kendall underwent surgery for more serious injuries on his face and arm. Both boys were on the road to recovery. Their wrestling coach, Jim Zeigler, arrived at the hospital along with the rest of the team to offer support.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

Brady's parents came to the hospital and thanked Kendall for saving their son's life.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jim Zeigler sang high praise for his team, especially Kendall. He said that he was proud of his team, just the way they protected each other. He said although he didn't experience the incident personally, he could imagine the terrible scene and the danger that they faced. Kendall could have escaped without saving Brady but he chose to fight against the bear. Other teammates did what they should do and helped each other to survive. He said they were his pride.
Brady's parents came to the hospital and thanked Kendall for saving their son's life. The father said to Kendell, “You are a hero because any normal person would have turned and run, but you didn't. I think these bonds that you build in college athletics will last forever. ”Brady said their surviving the danger took a true team effort, with Kendall striking the bear and his other teammates' help. He said,“We love each other and we're going to be best friends forever.

Four Dog-Friendly Vacation Spots to Explore
Vacations mean family time and if you are a pet parent, there’s no reason why you can’t take your dog with you. There are four dog-friendly vacation destinations in the US.
Portland, Oregon
This city has pet-friendly trails (小径) and 34 dog parks and one of the most popular dog parks is located in Mt Tabor Park. After playing with the other dogs, you and your fur baby can walk to the top of an inactive volcano and appreciate the view of the city and afterwards, you can have a picnic at the nearby reservoir.
Bar Harbor, Maine
This island town may be small in size but is very close to Acadia National Park. There are trails for you and your dog to hike and you can drive the Scenic Park Loop Road to the top of Cadillac Mountain for a breathtaking view. Dogs are welcome on the park buses and also on buses in the town.
Austin, Texas
The city is open to pets as well as dozens of restaurants. The Austin Terrier serves dog-themed sandwiches and pizza. You and your dog can go on a hike or bike ride on the 10-mile trail at Lady Bird Lake or you can rent a kayak (皮划艇) if your dog doesn’t mind getting wet. Just outside the city, you can explore the woods at the Barton Creek Greenbelt Preserve.
Sedona, Arizona
In Sedona, you can visit Slide Rock State Park, a 43-acre space located just outside the city limits. Most of Sedona’s hiking trails allow dogs, so do campgrounds in the area. If you want to stay in the city, you can visit the dog park which has separate areas for small, large and senior dogs to play off leash (狗绳).

Nehal is a student with a physical disability. In his free time, Nehal loves playing outdoors with his neighbourhood friends. He also attends Chol, one of the few mainstream schools in Suva, Fiji, which offers suitable learning for children with disabilities. The school has adapted some of its facilities since Nehal joined to create an accessible and more inclusive learning environment for students with disabilities.
This began with placing his classroom closer to the bathroom so that Nehal could more readily access the facility. As he and his classmates progress in their academic studies each year, their classroom doesn’t move like other classrooms to ensure Nehal consistently has a comfortable access to the facility every year.
Within the classroom, students typically sit on desks with benches. To adapt to Nehal’s physical impairment (障碍), he has a special and lower desk positioned against a wall that he can lean (倚靠) on for additional back support.
His teachers work closely with him on his literacy and numeracy (算术) skills while he has continued to stand out in languages—Hindi, English and Fijian.
Being in an inclusive learning environment is important to Nehal’s development. The support of his classmates both in and outside of the classroom has also been key to Nehal’s learning experience. From being a shoulder to lean on as he walks around the school to making sure he joins in class projects, his classmates are always on hand to ensure Nehal is included in the day-to-day activities at school.
At the end of the school day, Nehal is picked up by his mother and his sister. Once home, they are joined by Nitin, Nehal’s father. “He is like a gift God gives us,” his father speaks of Nehal.
4. What’s Nehal’s classroom in Chol like
A. It has a bathroom. B. It moves every year.
C. It is on the top floor. D. It remains in one place.
5. Why does the school arrange a special desk for Nehal
A. To take care of his physical condition. B. To let him listen to the teachers carefully.
C. To prevent him talking with other students. D. To help him go out of the classroom more easily.
6. How do Nehal’s classmates treat him
A. They ignore him. B. They talk behind his back.
C. They offer him much help. D. They challenge him constantly.
7. Which word can best describe Nehal
A. Ambitious. B. Lucky. C. Selfish. D. Lazy.
C
Contrary to “popular opinion”, the scientific pursuit for knowledge is not a predictable process. To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. This aspect is similar to art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to increase creative freedom.
“Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable. They both provide a perspective on reality,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers. “From the outside, the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy. But the scientific process can also unfold in an unpredictable way.”
“Scientists can learn a lot from artists,” says Weijers. “Association and creativity are central to art. Those aspects require more attention in science as the creative process is the key of science.”
“As a scientist, you use different methods, but it is equally about how you visualize your understandings of reality and the connections between them. This is sometimes just as visual as art,” says Weijers. One example is a recent special project in which Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel, professor of Physical Chemistry and Soft Matter, measured the forces that act on plant cells. A molecular (分子的) sensor was used to visualize the different forces. They showed the results in colorful images, each representing a different force.
What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society. There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science. Weijers says, “It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the process leading to discovery. As a scientist, you are doubted if you say something that is different a few years later. Then you are viewed as unreliable. But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science. What we scientists can achieve in the coming period is to provide more chances for people to focus on the process. Personally, I think that the connection with art can help to lead the focus on the process than the result.”
8. What does Dolf Weijers think of science process
A. It is always serious. B. It can’t be accidental.
C. It doesn’t allow failures. D. It can be unexpected.
9. What does the underlined sentence “This is sometimes just as visual as art” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Visualizing is a must for science.
B. Science can be visualized like art.
C. Science should be understood by visualizing.
D. Visualizing is as easy in science as in art.
10. Why do common people mistrust science in Dolf Weijers’ opinion
A. Scientists usually draw unreliable conclusions.
B Scientists don’t use visualizing to show the results.
C. The scientific process is unknown to them.
D. The scientific results are complex for the public.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Differences Between Science and Art
B Similarities Between Science and Art
C. Scientists and Artists Contribute to the World
D. Science and Art Are Tools to Understand the World

When fireworks are lit in celebration of the New Year, wild birds often experience lasting harmful effects. An international team of researchers tracked Arctic migratory(迁移的) geese as they traveled in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands over eight New Year periods to study the impacts of fireworks. Data from 347 geese showed that birds suddenly leave where they are sleeping on New Year’s Eve and fly farther away from where people are.
Geese’ lives were disturbed by the noise and flashes and these geese ended up resting two hours less and sometimes flying nonstop as far as 310 miles compared to the nights when there were no fireworks.
Geese spend their winter in Western Europe to escape extreme Arctic winters in their breeding grounds. Still, winters here are maybe not severely cold, but rather dark. As predators(食肉动物) are around in the dark, geese can only search for food in the light hours. During the night, they usually settle on small lakes to save energy and rest in relative safety. During New Year’s Eve, geese are heavily scared, as the fireworks sounds and flashing lights are unexpected to them and they view them as a threat to their life.
But their changed behavior didn’t end with the fireworks. The geese didn’t return to their original sleeping locations and spent more time searching for food to store energy for days after the celebrations ended.
The researchers hope that the findings will be used to improve fireworks management. They want to provide decision makers with real numbers to support their discussions. As already stated above, they suggest that some measures should be taken for geese to escape fireworks’ disturbance during New Year’s Eve—nationwide regulations regarding nature reserve areas and some centralization of fireworks displays, as well as lighting public fireworks in urban areas away from where the geese live.
12. What may the author think of the situation of geese during the New Year
A. Worrying. B. Promising.
C. Touching. D. Amusing.
13. What can we know about geese from paragraph 3
A. They enjoy flying in the dark.
B. They spend the winter in the Arctic.
C. They are terrified of fireworks.
D. They usually search for food at night.
14. What is the researchers’ advice on protecting geese
A. Setting up goose parks in the city.

____16____
One of the main ways to eat healthier and save money is to cook at home. Instead of going out to buy pre-made healthy food from stores, get the ingredients and make them by yourself. If making entire meals is not your thing, or you don’t have the time, you can make a simple salad.
Shop at your local farmers’ market
____17____. Shopping produce that is in season is a lot cheaper than buying produce that isn’t, and the best place to know what’s in season is at a farmers’ market.

Prepare meals in advance
Sometimes the last thing you want to do after a long day is cook. To avoid reaching for the takeout menu in these situations, set aside one day a week to meal preparing. ____19____. To keep it simple and healthy, experts suggest having one source of protein in each meal, at least one vegetable and a whole-grain. Making healthy meals in this way saves you time and money, and makes it easy to eat healthy.

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。
The dramatic incident occurred during an afternoon hike. Four friends and teammates from Northwest College in Cody , Wyoming, had been hiking in the Montana national forest. As they hiked, a bear suddenly attacked the closest hiker Brady Lowry. “It shook me around and I didn't know what to do,” Brady recalled the terrifying attack. The bear shook him by the arm and then threw him away.
Brady's friend, Kendall Cummings, reacted quickly to try to scare the bear away. He yelled and kicked at the bear and pulled on the bear's fur. “I didn't want to lose my friend,” said Kendall.“I could have run and potentially lost a friend but I didn't do that. I thought I would get him off and save him.”
The bear turned its attention to Kendall and knocked him to the ground. In protecting his friend, Kendall became the target of the bear's forceful attack. Eventually, the other teammates scared the bear enough so that it soon withdrew and ran off.
After the attack, Kendall was badly injured, but he managed to pull himself up. The teammates then helped Kendall off the mountain by supporting his weight and carrying him part of the way. Once the boys reached a location with cell service, they dialed 911 for help.
After half an hour, some rescuers arrived at the scene. They examined Kendall and Brady and they were sent to Billings Clinic Hospital in a rush for their injuries. Brady broke his arm and suffered serious wounds in the initial attack. Kendall underwent surgery for more serious injuries on his face and arm. Both boys were on the road to recovery. Their wrestling coach, Jim Zeigler, arrived at the hospital along with the rest of the team to offer support.
