In some countries, many families are choosing camping as an affordable way to vacation due to the cost-of-living crisis (危机). Here are several tips to help make your first camping trip a success.
Camping needs careful planning. Making a detailed list of what to bring ensures nothing important is forgotten. It is advised to pack light and easy-to-set-up tents (帐篷). It's also important to choose equipment suitable for the season. For families, bringing comfort items like favorite books or toys can make the new environment more welcoming for kids. Other necessaries like wet wipes (湿巾) are must-haves.
Camping is more than just setting up a tent. Group camping trips can simplify things, especially when it comes to meals. Sharing meal responsibilities with other families not only reduces the load but also improves the shared experience. Choosing simple and easy-to-prepare foods helps too.
Activities like treasure hunts, campfire stories can turn camping into an adventure. Nature itself offers endless enjoyment, from bird watching to plant recognizing. Moreover, camping is also an opportunity to teach kids valuable life skills and safety lessons. From cooking over a campfire to learning about nature, these experiences are both educational and enjoyable. Safety lessons are also important, like staying within campsites and recognizing dangerous plants.
All in all, camping is a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors and spend quality time with family.
A. Use the experience to teach life skills.
B. Camping should be an enjoyable adventure.
C. It also includes preparing and planning meals.
D. Allow the kids to take part in planning process.
E. Since children can get untidy, packing extra clothes is necessary.
F. With the right preparation and attitude, it can be an unforgettable experience.
G. However, for first-time campers, especially those with kids, the experience can be challenging.

14、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。
It was nearly midnight by the time 18-year-old Amy Waldroop returned to her grandmother's tiny house, and she was exhausted. After a full day's work at a flower shop, she had put in another six hours waiting tables before heading home. This was her typical weekends.
Pushing the key into the lock, she quietly opened the door so as not to wake her younger siblings. She stepped into the front room, and froze. The house was a mess: plates of half-eaten food were scattered in front of the TV; clothes, shoes and exercise books were everywhere.
Amy's eyes welled with tears. "This is just way too much for me." she thought. Her worst fears began to race through her mind. Two years before, her parents lost their lives in an accident, leaving Amy and her siblings for their grandma—Helen who had spent half of her life in a wheelchair. The life burden fell on Amy's shoulders, which was too much for a girl.
One day, walking across the school grounds, Amy found a table littered with university brochures. She browsed through pictures of spacious campuses and happy kids —all of it looking unachievable for her, given the current situation and financial conditions. But her teacher gave her unexpected hope, saying "You could attend university for free. It would take a scholarship, though, and for that you'd need much better grades."
During her final year of high school, Amy diligently attended classes, then went to work after school, returned to her grandmother's house, cared for her sisters and brothers and went through homework till the early hours of the morning, struggling for her dream university.
One afternoon, she walked home from school, holding a sheet of paper tightly. It was a letter from the University of California, informing her that she would be offered a scholarship and was admitted to the university. It was what she'd longed for, a place where she could study to become someone special —a nurse, perhaps, or maybe even a lawyer.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Yet the letter only made Amy struggle inside.
……
The next afternoon, Amy spotted the wrinkled letter on the table when arriving home.

16、 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Di Di is a Chinese director and producer. Through the media company he (found) a few years ago, the 29-year-old makes advertising and promotional (video),including those for Tsinghua University.
With ten years of directing experience under his belt, you might think he (happy) lives in the ivory tower of directing, in fact, he has a very down-to-earth philosophy. "In today's video-content-centered world, everyone has the ability to be a director and share people's stories," he said.
Di's own somewhat accidental path to becoming a director serves as a perfect example. Majoring in journalism at Tsinghua, he got into (make) films for a student association and then the university as a whole.
For the university's 2020 promotional video, Di created a story of a group of students aimed to launch their own satellite after facing a sudden setback before the launch date. "We have spent more than two years this. Now with one month (leave), no one knows how it will turn out. But before the dust settles, I want to go all out this time," said the leader of the student team in the 8-minute-long video.
And in this attempt, Di also found (inspire)."This video made me rethink my own career: Whether to continue working hard in the corporate world or stay true to (me) and create more stories about Chinese young people," he said.

Starting with what I knew best, I began swimming. I swam up and down, 3 my54-year-old body that my skills haven't 4 . Thankfully, muscle memory was 5 , leaving me confident for the first session. For the bike part, cycling wasn't as enjoyable as I remembered, but I didn't 6 . Tough as it was, all I cared about was finishing the ride. To exercise for the run, I joined a running group. In the beginning, I could merely run 3 miles, but I kept moving forward. I could 7 achieve the goal in a couple of months. Still, I remained rather 8 . How would I swim 1.2miles, bike 56 miles and then run 13.1 miles in one day?

At first, I finished swimming a few minutes ahead of my brother. However, I 11 during the bike ride. After about 22 miles, I stopped, got off my bike and 12 , "I think I'm going to quit."

18、 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。
Maybe someone you've been friends with for years is kicking up some conflict. Or, a person you've really trusted seems a little disappointing. However, we need to give people space to change, grow and readjust their own thinking. Learning to get the "good" out of people usually works.
People unavoidably have some types of flaws (缺陷). For instance, people may keep important truths, but the real truth might be that they have trouble trusting others. They are constantly rocking your boat and occupying your personal time.
Sam, an employee assistance program counselor says, "People we care about can drive us mad." He insists that it's easier to manage a relationship by setting boundaries and learning to draw the good out of people. "Deal with their flaws and accept them if possible" he advises.
Sam emphasizes, "Usually, we can change something about our own methods of dealing with a person. It doesn't have to end." Remember, too, that if someone hides important information or tells straight lies, this is not acceptable.
To handle the flaws, always focus on the strengths of people in your circle. One friend might be a great babysitter for your kids while another helps you find good vacation deals. While you don't want to "use" anyone, you do want to count on him for your own needs. We all need a variety of people. Besides, life is much more interesting if we have a little bit of drama going on.
A. No one can function all by himself.
B. Ending a relationship is seldom a good idea.
C. Forgiving others is always a good quality to maintain friendship.
D. Also, some people may ask too much of you.
E. But you can distance yourself and wait to see if someone changes.
F. Sometimes flaws may become advantages under certain circumstances.
G. To do this, focus on their strengths and how those benefit your own life.

In late summer, Death Valley National Park earns its name. The heat in this region of California and Nevada is unbearable. Despite the heat, there was a slow but steady drop of water into the collection bottle of Omar Yaghi's device, a group of components resembling a telescope. By the end of the day, this system had collected only a few millilitres of water —barely enough for a refreshing sip. But these results, published in July, represent a landmark in the field of Atmospheric Water Harvesting (AWH).
The key ingredient in this device —a water-absorbing chemical called MOF-303—has the potential to deliver life-sustaining volumes of clean water to regions that currently struggle to access it. "The vision there is to have something like a village-scale device," says Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California. "If you've got a tonne of MOF-303, you could deliver about 500 litres of water a day."
By current estimates, roughly two billion people lack access to clean drinking water. Desalinated seawater can meet some of this need, but the technology required remains costly and is limited to coastal regions. This accounts for the growing enthusiasm for alternative solutions that extract clean water from the air.
"It is estimated that Earth's atmosphere contains nearly 13,000 cubic kilometres of water— over six times the volume of the world's rivers. We cannot exhaust it —it's always refilled in the process of natural water cycle," says Tian Li, a materials scientist at Purdue University. And although many of the most promising AWH technologies are still at the stage of lab demonstrations, the field is quickly developing towards real-world systems that produce plentiful amounts of water at low cost.
(1)、What can we learn about Omar Yaghi's device from the text?A、It uses MOF-303 for water absorption. B、It requires substantial investment in use. C、It operates like a telescope for water collection. D、It collects enough water for a day's use.(2)、What does the underlined phrase "account for" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Confirm. B、Emphasize. C、Explain. D、Contradict.(3)、Why are Tian Li's words quoted in paragraph 4?A、To reveal the severeness of water shortage. B、To arouse people's awareness of water conservation. C、To prove the non-renewable nature of atmospheric water. D、To demonstrate a favorable condition for AWH technologies.(4)、Where is the text most probably taken from?A、A travel guidebook. B、A science magazine. C、A psychological novel. D、An introduction to a book. -

In the ever-evolving world of robotics, researchers are constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance the capabilities of these machines. One that has captured the attention of scientists is the potential of using legs instead of arms for certain tasks. Four-legged robots normally need an arm attached to their body to open doors or pick up objects, but this can add additional weight and make it harder for the robot to squeeze through narrow spaces.
Philip Smith in Switzerland and his colleagues used a machine-learning model to teach a ready-made robotic dog to use one of its legs to perform tasks while standing still or moving with the other three legs. The robot dog can use a leg to open doors, press buttons and pick up backpacks while balancing on its other three legs.
"We cannot do everything with the legs that we could do with an arm — right now, a hand is far more skillful. But the point is really to make this work for applications where we maybe have mass limits, or we don't want to have that additional complexity, like for space exploration where every kilogram of such a robot counts," says Smith.
To train the robot dog, Smith and his team gave the machine-learning model the objective of finding a specific point in space with one of the robot's legs. The model then worked out by itself how to control the remaining three legs and balance the robot while standing or walking. Smith and his team could then control the robot remotely to carry out movements like picking up a backpack and putting it in a box, or collecting rocks. While the robot can currently only do these tasks while operated by a person, Smith hopes that future improvements will allow the dog to autonomously handle objects with its leg.
(1)、What is a drawback of four-legged robots with arms?A、Difficulty in control. B、Lack of flexibility. C、Complexity in design. D、Absence of innovation.(2)、Why does Smith mention "space exploration" in paragraph 3?A、To compare the robot dog with humans. B、To prove the complexity of the robot dog. C、To explain the limitation of the robot dog. D、To show the potential uses of the robot dog.(3)、How was the robot dog trained?A、By balancing on its other three legs. B、By using a machine-learning model. C、By having an arm attached to its body. D、By exposing it to diverse environments.(4)、What does Smith hope for the future of the robot dog?A、Its leg will be more skillful than its arms. B、It can be operated more easily by a person. C、It can handle objects with its leg on its own. D、It can carry out machine-learning autonomously.
