Out in the woods stood a nice little Fir Tree. It was the sun shining on him and the fresh air surrounding him that
made him gorgeous. In summer, children often came and sat down near him and said, “What a nice little fir!” In
winter, when the snow lay glittering on the ground, a hare hopped over the little tree. But he never felt any pleasure.
What the little Fir wanted so much was to grow into a big tree as his neighbors.
“Oh! Were I but such a high tree as the others are,” thought he. “Then I should be able to spread out my branches,
and with the tops to look into the wide world!”
When Christmas came, quite young trees with the finest looking were cut down. And so was the Fir Tree. He
found himself, in the middle of the living-room, stuck upright in a bucket that was filled with sand and decorated
with the most splendid things-apples, colorful lights and at the very top a large golden star, which made him
incomparably beautiful.
“What a splendor!” thought the Fir Tree, believing he would take root here and forever stand covered with
decorations!
However, the splendor never came back again. After the Christmas, the servant dragged him out of the room,
and up the stairs into the loft in a dark corner, where no daylight could enter.
“If it only were not so dark here, and so terribly lonely. Not even a hare!” he sighed. “They surely stored me
here for the next Christmas.”
One day, the tree was pulled out and a man drew him towards the stairs, where the daylight shone. Feeling the
fresh air and the first sunbeam, now he was out in the courtyard. Seeing all the beauty of the flowers and the freshness
in the garden, he firmly believed he would be replanted there.
“Now a merry life will begin again,” thought the tree, spreading out his branches only to find they were all
withered and yellow！When seeing the gardener getting close with an axe (斧头), he recalled his first youth in the
wood and sighed so deeply! Each sigh was like a shot.
4. What can we know about the Fir Tree?
A. He was willing to be a small tree.
B. He was satisfied to be a Christmas tree.
C. He was mad at the hare jumping over him.
D. He was eager to be the tallest tree in the woods.
5. Which word can best describe the Fir’s feeling when pulled out into the courtyard?A. Hopeful. B. Lonely. C. Free. D. Anxious.
6. What can be inferred about the Fir’s fate?
A. He would be treated as firewood.
B. He would be replanted in the garden.
C. He would be taken back to the forest.
D. He would be stored for the next Christmas.
7. What can we conclude from this story?
A. If you’re failing to plan, then you’re planning to fail.
B. Live for today because tomorrow is not promised.
C. Life is not about falling down but getting back up.
,
D. If you dream and believe it then you can achieve it.
C
In a major step forward for monitoring the biodiversity of marine(海洋的)systems, a new study published in
the journal Environmental DNA details how Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute(MBARI) researchers are
using autonomous underwater robots to sample environmental DNA(eDNA), which allows scientists to detect the
presence of aquatic species from the tiny bits of genetic(遗传学的) material they leave behind. This “DNA soup”
offers clues about biodiversity changes in sensitive areas and the presence of rare or endangered species-all critical
to understanding and preserving a healthy ocean.
Researchers combined two novel autonomous platforms developed by MBARI for this study-the Long-Range
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle(LRAUV) and the Environmental Sample Processor(ESP). The LRAUV can
travel for weeks at a time and for hundreds of kilometers. It can enable more frequent sampling in remote sites than
traditional research ships. The ESP is a robotic “laboratory-in-a-can” that filters(过滤) seawater and preserves
eDNA for future study. By equipping an LRAUV with ESP technology, researchers can monitor the ocean better.
“We know that eDNA is an incredibly powerful tool for studying ocean communities, but we’ve been limited
by what we can accomplish using expensive crewed research ships. Now, autonomous technology is helping us
make better use of our time and resources to study previously unsurveyed regions of the ocean,” said Kobun
Truelove, a biological oceanographer at MBARI and the lead author of the paper.
Marine biodiversity is a measure of the abundance of individuals and species in the ocean. This interconnected
mixture of organisms supports food webs, produces the air we breathe, and regulates our climate. Autonomous
tools like the LRAUV and ESP enable MBARI researchers to monitor changes in sensitive ecosystems in ways that
were not possible previously.
“Ship-based research will continue to play an important role in oceanographic studies, but adding newautonomous technology to the toolkit will expand capacity for research, monitoring, and resource management,”
said Truelove.
8. What do the underlined words “aquatic species” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Those living in water. B. Those growing near water.
C. Those becoming endangered. D. Those consuming eDNA.
9. What can the LRAUV do?
A. Filter seawater effectively.
B. Preserve eDNA for future study.
C. Travel for months at a time in the ocean.
D. Reach remote areas of the ocean frequently.
10. What can we infer from Truelove’s words?
.
A Autonomous technology is more economical and efficient.
B. Ship-based research is more time-saving and energy-saving.
C. Autonomous robots have entirely replaced traditional research ships.
D. Crewed research ships help researchers study new parts of the ocean.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Researchers Discover a “DNA Soup”
B. Autonomous Technology Needs Improving
C. Robots Sample eDNA to Monitor Ocean Health
D. The Biodiversity of the Ocean Needs Protection

Overcoming learning disabilities has long been a challenge for educators and students alike. However recent
advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown promise in revolutionizing the way we
approach education for students with learning disabilities.
One of the most significant ways AI can assist is through the use of adaptive learning systems. These systems
use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This
personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind.
Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted
support.
Another way AI can support them is through natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables
computers to understand and interpret human language, allowing AI-powered tools to provide real-time feedback
on a student’s written work. This can be particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, who often struggle withspelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By providing immediate feedback, students can identify and correct their
mistakes, leading to improved writing skills and increased confidence.
AI can also play a role in developing their social and emotional skills. Many students with learning disabilities
experience social isolation. AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing
students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional
intelligence.
While the potential benefits of AI in education are clear, it is essential to recognize AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all
solution. Educators must carefully consider the moral implications of using AI in the classroom and ensure these
tools are used responsibly and with the best interests of the students in mind. Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI
shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a
vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine. By
combining the power of AI with the skills and compassion of human educators, we can create a more inclusive and
effective educational environment for all students.
12. How can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities?
A. By adjusting their learning methods. B. By analyzing their learning abilities.
C. By satisfying their curiosity in learning. D. By offering personalized learning assistance.
13. What does the underlined word “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A mental illness affecting human intelligence.
B. A brain disease leading to lack of confidence in study.
C. A language-related skill applied in the learning process.
D. A learning disorder involving difficulty in reading and writing.
14. What is the value of AI-powered social robots?
A. Engaging students in learning activities. B. Narrowing the social distance between people.
C. Assisting learners to overcome social isolation. D. Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies.
15. What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph?
A. It can’t provide understanding like human educators.
B. It can’t create an inclusive learning environment.
C. It can meet a wide range of learning needs.
D. It can guarantee learners’ data security.

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。
Taylor Hash wanted to be a career pilot. She had just started building up hours of flight time when disaster
struck. As she guided the Diamond Star plane off the runway at Oakland County International airport, on her third-
ever independent flight, the front tyre (轮胎) of her plane fell off.
Taylor was unaware at that point that she had just lost crucial landing equipment. “I didn’t feel anything on the
takeoff roll (起飞滑跑).” she said.
Experienced pilot Chris Yates, though, saw something on the takeoff roll and immediately took action. He
knew that Taylor would have to make a difficult emergency landing. He radioed the control tower and said, “The
Diamond Star that just took off lost its nose (头部) wheel tyre on the runway.”
But the control tower operators didn’t know what to do. They’d never seen such a thing happen before. Yates
asked them to put him through to Taylor so he could help her.
When Taylor learned what had happened, she was in panic. With only 57 total fight hours under her belt, she
didn’t know what her options were and could only imagine how this was going to end.
“I didn’t know what to do in that moment,” said Taylor later. “I’m just panicking and figuring out how I’m
going to land this plane safely.”But Yates knew what to do. He knew that the most important thing would be to keep Taylor calm so that she
could follow his instructions effectively.
Yates started by reassuring (使安心) Taylor that everything was going to turn out just fine: “Taylor, this is
Chris Yates. My daughter’s name is Taylor, and I taught her to fly! We’re gonna be just fine. Just take your time.”
He told her that she could circle the field until she was ready to land. “When you touch down, I just want that stick
(操纵杆) all the way back. You’re gonna hold that stick back like you don’t want that nose to touch,” he coached
her.
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。
Despite feeling scared and unsure, Taylor trusted Yates and followed his instructions.

Out in the woods stood a nice little Fir Tree. It was the sun shining on him and the fresh air surrounding him that
made him gorgeous. In summer, children often came and sat down near him and said, “What a nice little fir!” In
winter, when the snow lay glittering on the ground, a hare hopped over the little tree. But he never felt any pleasure.
What the little Fir wanted so much was to grow into a big tree as his neighbors.
“Oh! Were I but such a high tree as the others are,” thought he. “Then I should be able to spread out my branches,
and with the tops to look into the wide world!”When Christmas came, quite young trees with the finest looking were cut down. And so was the Fir Tree. He
found himself, in the middle of the living-room, stuck upright in a bucket that was filled with sand and decorated
with the most splendid things-apples, colorful lights and at the very top a large golden star, which made him
incomparably beautiful.
“What a splendor!” thought the Fir Tree, believing he would take root here and forever stand covered with
decorations!
However, the splendor never came back again. After the Christmas, the servant dragged him out of the room,
and up the stairs into the loft in a dark corner, where no daylight could enter.
“If it only were not so dark here, and so terribly lonely. Not even a hare!” he sighed. “They surely stored me
here for the next Christmas.”
One day, the tree was pulled out and a man drew him towards the stairs, where the daylight shone. Feeling the
fresh air and the first sunbeam, now he was out in the courtyard. Seeing all the beauty of the flowers and the freshness
in the garden, he firmly believed he would be replanted there.
“Now a merry life will begin again,” thought the tree, spreading out his branches only to find they were all
withered and yellow！When seeing the gardener getting close with an axe (斧头), he recalled his first youth in the
wood and sighed so deeply! Each sigh was like a shot.
4. What can we know about the Fir Tree?
A. He was willing to be a small tree.
B. He was satisfied to be a Christmas tree.
C. He was mad at the hare jumping over him.
D. He was eager to be the tallest tree in the woods.
5. Which word can best describe the Fir’s feeling when pulled out into the courtyard?

6. What can be inferred about the Fir’s fate?
A. He would be treated as firewood.
B. He would be replanted in the garden.
C. He would be taken back to the forest.
D. He would be stored for the next Christmas.
7. What can we conclude from this story?
A. If you’re failing to plan, then you’re planning to fail.
B. Live for today because tomorrow is not promised.
C. Life is not about falling down but getting back up.D. If you dream and believe it, then you can achieve it.

In a major step forward for monitoring the biodiversity of marine(海洋的)systems, a new study published in
the journal Environmental DNA details how Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute(MBARI) researchers areusing autonomous underwater robots to sample environmental DNA(eDNA), which allows scientists to detect the
presence of aquatic species from the tiny bits of genetic(遗传学的) material they leave behind. This “DNA soup”
offers clues about biodiversity changes in sensitive areas and the presence of rare or endangered species-all critical
to understanding and preserving a healthy ocean.
Researchers combined two novel autonomous platforms developed by MBARI for this study-the Long-Range
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle(LRAUV) and the Environmental Sample Processor(ESP). The LRAUV can
travel for weeks at a time and for hundreds of kilometers. It can enable more frequent sampling in remote sites than
traditional research ships. The ESP is a robotic “laboratory-in-a-can” that filters(过滤) seawater and preserves
eDNA for future study. By equipping an LRAUV with ESP technology, researchers can monitor the ocean better.
“We know that eDNA is an incredibly powerful tool for studying ocean communities, but we’ve been limited
by what we can accomplish using expensive crewed research ships. Now, autonomous technology is helping us
make better use of our time and resources to study previously unsurveyed regions of the ocean,” said Kobun
Truelove, a biological oceanographer at MBARI and the lead author of the paper.
Marine biodiversity is a measure of the abundance of individuals and species in the ocean. This interconnected
mixture of organisms supports food webs, produces the air we breathe, and regulates our climate. Autonomous
tools like the LRAUV and ESP enable MBARI researchers to monitor changes in sensitive ecosystems in ways that
were not possible previously.
“Ship-based research will continue to play an important role in oceanographic studies, but adding new
autonomous technology to the toolkit will expand capacity for research, monitoring, and resource management,”
said Truelove.
8. What do the underlined words “aquatic species” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Those living in water. B. Those growing near water.
C. Those becoming endangered. D. Those consuming eDNA.
9. What can the LRAUV do?
A. Filter seawater effectively.
B. Preserve eDNA for future study.
C. Travel for months at a time in the ocean.
D. Reach remote areas of the ocean frequently.
10. What can we infer from Truelove’s words?
A. Autonomous technology is more economical and efficient.
B. Ship-based research is more time-saving and energy-saving.
C. Autonomous robots have entirely replaced traditional research ships.D. Crewed research ships help researchers study new parts of the ocean.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Researchers Discover a “DNA Soup”
B. Autonomous Technology Needs Improving
C. Robots Sample eDNA to Monitor Ocean Health
D. The Biodiversity of the Ocean Needs Protection
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了对环境DNA进行采样以监测海洋健康的最新技术。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上下文语境以及上文的“In a major step forward for monitoring the biodiversity of marine
systems（这是监测海洋生物多样性的重要一步）”可知，科学家监测的是海洋生物，所以画线词也应该指
的是“海洋中的生物”。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The LRAUV can travel for weeks at a time and for hundreds of kilometers. It can
enable more frequent sampling in remote sites than traditional research ships.（LRAUV一次可以航行数周，航
行数百公里。与传统的科考船相比，它可以在偏远地区进行更频繁的采样）”可知，远程自主水下航行器
(LRA UV) 可以经常到达海洋的偏远地区。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“Now, autonomous technology is helping us make better use of our time and
resources to study previously unsurveyed regions of the ocean,” said Kobun Truelove, a biological oceanographer
at MBARI and the lead author of the paper.（“我们知道eDNA是研究海洋群落的一个非常强大的工具，但我
们一直受到使用昂贵的载人研究船所能完成的限制。现在，自主技术正在帮助我们更好地利用我们的时间
和资源来研究以前未调查的海洋区域”，MBARI的生物海洋学家、该论文的主要作者Kobun Truelove
说）”可以推论出，自主技术更加经济、高效。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段“In a major step forward for monitoring the biodiversity of marine
systems, a new study published in the journal Environmental DNA details how Monterey Bay Aquarium Research
Institute(MBARI) researchers are using autonomous underwater robots to sample environmental DNA(eDNA),
which allows scientists to detect the presence of aquatic species from the tiny bits of genetic material they leave
behind. ”（在监测海洋系统生物多样性方面迈出了重要一步，发表在《环境DNA》杂志上的一项新研究
详细介绍了蒙特利湾水族馆研究所(MBARI)的研究人员如何使用自主水下机器人对环境DNA进行采样，这使得科学家能够从水生物种留下的微小遗传物质中检测到它们的存在。）可知，本文主要介绍了对环境
DNA进行采样以监测海洋健康的最新技术。所以，用C项“Robots Sample eDNA to Monitor Ocean
Health”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选C项。

Overcoming learning disabilities has long been a challenge for educators and students alike. However, recent
advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown promise in revolutionizing the way we
approach education for students with learning disabilities.
One of the most significant ways AI can assist is through the use of adaptive learning systems. These systems
use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This
personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind.
Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted
support.
Another way AI can support them is through natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables
computers to understand and interpret human language, allowing AI-powered tools to provide real-time feedback
on a student’s written work. This can be particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, who often struggle with
spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By providing immediate feedback, students can identify and correct their
mistakes, leading to improved writing skills and increased confidence.
AI can also play a role in developing their social and emotional skills. Many students with learning disabilities
experience social isolation. AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing
students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional
intelligence.
While the potential benefits of AI in education are clear, it is essential to recognize AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all
solution. Educators must carefully consider the moral implications of using AI in the classroom and ensure these
tools are used responsibly and with the best interests of the students in mind. Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI
shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a
vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine. By
combining the power of AI with the skills and compassion of human educators, we can create a more inclusive and
effective educational environment for all students.
12. How can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities?
A. By adjusting their learning methods. B. By analyzing their learning abilities.
C. By satisfying their curiosity in learning. D. By offering personalized learning assistance.13. What does the underlined word “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A mental illness affecting human intelligence.
B. A brain disease leading to lack of confidence in study.
C. A language-related skill applied in the learning process.
D. A learning disorder involving difficulty in reading and writing.
14. What is the value of AI-powered social robots?
A. Engaging students in learning activities. B. Narrowing the social distance between people.
C. Assisting learners to overcome social isolation. D. Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies.
15. What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph?
A. It can’t provide understanding like human educators.
B. It can’t create an inclusive learning environment.
C. It can meet a wide range of learning needs.
D. It can guarantee learners’ data security.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能在帮助学生克服学习障碍方面以及提高社交和情感技
能方面可以发挥的作用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“These systems use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust
the learning content and pace accordingly. This personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace,
without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a
student may be struggling and provide targeted support.(这些系统使用算法来分析学生的表现，并相应地调整
学习内容和节奏。这种个性化的方法可以让他们按照自己的节奏进步，而不会感到不知所措或落后。此外，
适应性学习系统可以识别学生可能挣扎的领域，并提供有针对性的支持)”可知，适应性系统通过提供个性
化的学习帮助有学习障碍的学生。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“who often struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure”可知，who
引导非限制性定语从句修饰先行词students with dyslexia，说明患有dyslexia的学生经常在拼写、语法和句
子结构上挣扎，即存在包括读写困难的学习障碍。故划线词意思是“一种包括读写困难的学习障碍”。故
选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions,allowing students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional
intelligence.(人工智能社交机器人可以识别并回应人类的情绪，让学生参与互动对话和活动，帮助发展他们
的社交和情商)”可知，人工智能社交机器人的价值是帮助学习者克服社会孤立。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI shouldn’t replace human educators but
rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a vital role by providing empathy,
understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine.(此外，重要的是要记住，人工智能不应该
取代人类教育工作者，而应该作为一种工具来加强和支持他们的努力。教师通过提供机器无法复制的同理
心、理解和指导，发挥着至关重要的作用)”可知，人工智能不能像人类教育者那样提供理解。故选A。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Taylor Hash wanted to be a career pilot. She had just started building up hours of flight time when disaster
struck. As she guided the Diamond Star plane off the runway at Oakland County International airport, on her third-
ever independent flight, the front tyre (轮胎) of her plane fell off.
Taylor was unaware at that point that she had just lost crucial landing equipment. “I didn’t feel anything on the
takeoff roll (起飞滑跑).” she said.
Experienced pilot Chris Yates, though, saw something on the takeoff roll and immediately took action. He
knew that Taylor would have to make a difficult emergency landing. He radioed the control tower and said, “The
Diamond Star that just took off lost its nose (头部) wheel tyre on the runway.”
But the control tower operators didn’t know what to do. They’d never seen such a thing happen before. Yates
asked them to put him through to Taylor so he could help her.
When Taylor learned what had happened, she was in panic. With only 57 total fight hours under her belt, she
didn’t know what her options were and could only imagine how this was going to end.
“I didn’t know what to do in that moment,” said Taylor later. “I’m just panicking and figuring out how I’m
going to land this plane safely.”
But Yates knew what to do. He knew that the most important thing would be to keep Taylor calm so that she
could follow his instructions effectively.
Yates started by reassuring (使安心) Taylor that everything was going to turn out just fine: “Taylor, this is
Chris Yates. My daughter’s name is Taylor, and I taught her to fly! We’re gonna be just fine. Just take your time.”
He told her that she could circle the field until she was ready to land. “When you touch down, I just want that stick
(操纵杆) all the way back. You’re gonna hold that stick back like you don’t want that nose to touch,” he coachedher.
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。
Despite feeling scared and unsure, Taylor trusted Yates and followed his instructions.

【答案】Despite feeling scared and unsure Taylor trusted Yates and followed his instructions. After circling the
airport a few times, she got ready to make the emergency landing. With Yates talking to her all the way, a sense of
calm washed over her. “You’re doing greatly,” he encouraged, “keep that stick all the way back.” Taylor could see
the runway coming up quickly. The plane touched down, the nose hitting the ground. Taylor felt the plane shaking
and bouncing until it came to a complete stop. She made it!
Taylor went up to Yates after she stepped out of the plane safely. With tears of gratitude in her eyes, she hugged him
tightly and thanked him for his guidance during the crisis. “Had you not seen the wheel off,” Uttered Taylor, “it’s
hard to think about what could have happened.” Yates praised that she had done a great job in landing the plane safely
with such limited flight experience. Through misty eyes, Taylor could see the path to her career as a pilot become
clearer than ever.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达以飞行经验有限的Taylor为线索，讲述了在她第三次的独立飞行中，飞机起飞后，
有经验的Yates发现了飞机的前轮掉落了。Yates联系了塔台，在Yates的耐心指导下，Taylor成功地将飞机
安全着陆。
【详解】1.段落续写：
由第一段首句内容“尽管感到害怕和不确定，但Taylor还是相信Yates，并听从他的指挥。”可知，本段可
以写Yates是如何鼓励并指导Taylor将飞机安全地着陆的。由第二段首句内容“在Taylor安全地走出飞机后，她走向Yates。”可知，本段可以写Taylor无比感谢
Yates，如果Yates没有及时发现问题，那后果不堪设想。经过这一次经历后，Taylor觉得自己的飞行之路
又明亮了一些。
2.续写线索：
相信Yates，并听从他的指挥→Yates先努力让Taylor冷静下来→鼓励她并指导她如何正确地操作→飞机终
于安全着陆→Taylor走出机舱，感谢Yates→Taylor觉得经历了这次事件后，她的飞行之路又明亮了一些。
