26、Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.

Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.

Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams.

32、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。

Goal!

Seconds later, the referee blew the whistle. Came over.

“We won!” Jordan shouted out, leaping into the air.

“Championship game, here we come!” said Tara, slapping hands with Devin. “Can't wait till Thursday.”

Devin grinned. Thursday would be huge-the big soccer game in the afternoon, and the school's autumn concert in the evening. Ms. Poltis had chosen Devin to sing brief solo (独唱).

“Great work,” Coach said as the team gathered. “Be here by 6: 30 on Thursday to warm up.”

“Six thirty?” Devin said. That didn't sound right.

“It's a night game,” Coach explained. “Under the lights.”

“Playing at night will be so cool,” Tara said. “Under the bright stadium lights.”

Devin's heart sank. The concert was at 7: 00. Same time as the game. He couldn't possibly do both.

Devin's teammates were super excited. They were on the edge of a title, and Devin was a big reason why. He led the league in scoring, and his soccer knowledge made him like a coach on the field. He couldn't let his team down by skipping the game.

That night, Devin lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Finally, he turned on his light. He picked up a sheet of paper from his desk. After reading the words, he shut his eyes and sang them:

“No matter how hard the struggle, I will never let you down...”

The solo was only four lines in the middle of a song the entire choir(合唱团) would sing. Devin knew the words by heart, but the thought of singing alone made him shivers(颤抖). Sometimes he was nervous about taking part in sports, too, but that always went away as soon as a game started. He'd never sung a solo before. It was a relief to know he didn't have to now. The soccer game was perfect excuse. His team was perfect excuse. His team was counting on him.

But so was Ms. Poltis.

Devin crawled back into bed. It was a long time before he fell asleep.

In the morning, Devin hardly ate any breakfast.

At school, he went straight to the music room.

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。

He felt sorry to tell Ms. Poltis that he'd miss the concert.
