Unique outdoor restaurants around the world
Many things come to mind when I think of a great vacation. Remarkable scenery and delicious food are certainly on my list. Those two features can’t always be found in the same location. However, amazing views and great food are both on the menu at the following three restaurants.
The Rock, Zanzibar
On an enormous boulder (巨石) off the coast of the East African island of Zanzibar sits The Rock. The freshest seafood, much of it straight from the surrounding ocean, is always available here. At low tide (潮汐), customers can walk out to The Rock. As the water rises, though, customers must take a short boat ride to it. Once they arrive, they’re greeted by friendly staff and 360-degree views of beautiful blue-green water. The Rock, sometimes called the “floating restaurant”, is available for weddings and other small group events.
The Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, Philippines
Striking waterfalls sometimes have restaurants at the top. But the Labasin Waterfalls, in San Pablo City, Philippines, is different. A restaurant sits at the bottom of the falls. Guests dine on authentic (地道的) Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience.
The Grotto, Thailand
The Grotto Restaurant on Thailand’s Phra Nang Beach offers delicious food and an incredible dining experience. The restaurant is partly positioned inside a cave and partly on the beach. Guests seated toward the front look out at Happy Island in the lovely Andaman Sea. Those seated at the back enjoy an authentic cave-dining experience. Comfortable tables, which are arranged inside the cave, sit next to large stalactites (钟乳石). International food with a Thai influence is featured.

A. Host small ceremonies.
B. Have meals at bamboo tables.
C. Cool your feet under your tables.
D. Go through a cave-dining experience.
2. What do the three restaurants have in common?
A They are based in hotels.
B. They adopt modern cooking methods.
C. They are surrounded by eye-catching waterfalls.
D. They offer both breathtaking views and delicious food.

A. To report. B. To explain. C. To analyze. D. To introduce.

When many people are worried that there are no more heroes in modern times, two university students who lost their lives to rescue drowning children have shown that heroes still exist.
According to the Inner Mongolia Morning Post, the accident occurred on the afternoon of December 14, 2022 when three school students skating on a frozen lake in Qingcheng Park in Hohhot fell through the ice into the freezing water.
More than 20 university students who happened to be near the spot immediately went to the rescue of the children.
Two children were quickly rescued, but the third died. The child’s body was not found for three hours. Two of the rescuers, Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao, also died of cold and exhaustion.
The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day.
A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake. When they heard the children’s cries for help, they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children. But the ice kept breaking, causing most of them to fall into the icy water.
Local residents held mourning ceremonies (祭奠仪式) at the lake.
Eight of the students were seriously affected by the freezing water and were being kept in hospital for further observation, but their lives were no longer in danger.

An immersive and slow-paced Citywalk is becoming trendy across China. In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks, the new trend has emerged as a popular alternative to explore bustling markets, ancient streets, and charming alleys at a leisurely pace.
The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules. As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hash tags like “City walk for vacation” on lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohong shu, with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464, 600 engagements, the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention.
Citywalk, or meandering through the urban landscapes, means the act of walking freely along city streets unburdened by exhaustive plans. It offers people an avenue to intimately experience urban culture and local traditions. Citywalk is not merely about sightseeing. It creates an opportunity for social interactions and deep connections with the cities. Citywalk routes are tailored to the specific interests of both out-of-town tourists and locals. For tourists, the focus is on sharing local customs and traditions, while for locals, discussions revolve around the city’s past, present, and future. The growing trend of Citywalk reflects a changing attitude towards life, embracing a warmer, more relaxed, and slower-paced lifestyle.
As Citywalk expands beyond first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, to second-and third-tier cities across the county, it brings fresh opportunities for the tourism industry, in such areas as dining, shopping, and accommodation.
Governments in Beijing and Shandong have recognized the potential of Citywalk, incorporating it into their action plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure activities. In Shanghai, public bus lines specially designed have been introduced to elevate the overall Citywalk for participants.
“By slowing down and delving into the narrow alleys, observing the lives of city residents, and immersing oneself in the context of museums and art galleries, one is entitled to embrace the pleasure of life,” said Luo Jun, a cultural tourism enthusiast.
8. What’s the main reason for the popularity of Citywalk among young people?
A. It mainly focuses on urban sightseeing.
B. Social media offer many tempting videos.
C. Busywork schedule limits the choice of people.
D. Conventional tourist landmarks are losing charm.
9. What’s the meaning of underlined word “staggering” in the second paragraph?
A. Astonishing. B. Rewarding. C. Embarrassing. D. Shrinking.
10. Which of the following statements is NOT Citywalk?
A. An immersive route for foreigners to enjoy the alleys in Chengdu.
B. A holiday travel to hurriedly visit crowded landmarks in Shanghai.
C. A free walk including visiting museums and old towns in Qingdao.
D. A leisurely tour along Qiantang River to experience city transformation.
11. What have some governments done to promote Citywalk?
A. Facilities in the museums have been enhanced.
B. Cooperation has been strengthened among cities.
C. Opportunities have been offered to third-tier cities.
D. Specific public transportation routes have been introduced.
D
This nature-inspired “wind tree” can produce green energy in city environments.
From community solar farms to co-owned wind turbines (风力发电机), inventors are coming up with new ways to bring green power into our homes. Now, micro wind turbines designed to look like trees are addressing some of the challenges of green energy. The “trees” have branches tipped with leaf-shaped micro wind turbines.
“People can sit under the ‘tree’ to keep cool. Its colour can also be changed,” says Luc Eric Krief, owner of New World Wind, the French company behind the technology.
But the turbines’ looks aren’t their only attractiveness. At between five and 10 metres tall, the “trees” are easy to set up — even in city environments — without major engineering work. Once a turbine is in place, a single bracket and three bolts (一个支架和三个螺栓) are all that’s needed to complete the setup. Their size also solves some of the other problems faced by big turbines, such as bird crashes. Plus, they run in silence.
“Rather than being connected to the national grid (国家输电网) the turbines provide energy directly to a building’s existing electrical system. While it’s unlikely that wind conditions would remain high around the clock, in typical conditions of 8 m/s, one wind tree could produce almost 18,000 kwh per year, enough to power a four-person household. This could reduce a home’s CO2 emissions by over 12 tonnes a year,” says Krief.
So far, the company has set up 130 wind trees around the world, from Europe to the US to South Korea. Most of the company’s customers are commercial. They have also set up three wind trees residentially in Birmingham, UK; Vermont, USA; and Switzerland. As New World Wind grows, with plans to enter the Americas, wind trees could become a more familiar sight on streets and in gardens around the world.
12. What is true about the wind tree?
A. It can produce electricity.
B. It can protect the farm from the wind.
C. It can be planted at home to create fresh air.
D. It can control the strength of the wind in the city.
13. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the wind tree?
A. Its appearance. B. Its advantages. C. Its safety. D. Its costs.
14. What can we learn about the wind tree from the words of Krief?
A. It is designed for household use.
B. It is supported by the national grid.
C. It can make some contributions to environmental protection.
D. It can help change the way people think about green energy.
15. What can we expect of the wind tree in the future?
A. It will face more and more competition.
B. It will be seen in more and more places.
C. It will be offered mainly to residential customers.
D. It will have some necessary technological improvements.

How to stop procrastinating (拖延) and make a start
Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out. ____16____ Fortunately, here are four tips to get you moving again.
Little steps for big tasks.
Most procrastinators tell themselves “I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.” Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks. ____17____ One way to do this is to break your job into steps that can be accomplished bit by bit.
____18____
Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them.
Tune out negative thoughts.
When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. ____19____ Once you change your negative thoughts, energy returns.
Give yourself credit.
____20____ But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task.
However, if you are sure that there are good reasons why you avoid doing something, you may need to re-evaluate your goals.
A. Never give up.
B. Expect difficulties.
C. Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going.
D. We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside,
E. By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them.
F. Be here now, and don’t worry about things you have to do in the future.
G. Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it.

Tom’s love for soccer ran deep, and he played the game with a passion that was infectious (有感染力的) to everyone around him. But there was one thing that upset him-his worn-out soccer shoes. These shoes had been passed down to him by his older brother, and they were falling apart. With his birthday drawing near, Tom secretly wished for a new pair of soccer shoes to lift his spirits so that he could have a good performance in the game. However, he was well aware of his parents’ constant struggles to make ends meet and knew that such a wish might remain a dream forever.
One sunny afternoon, Tom and his best friend, David, were at school, watching an exciting soccer match. The exciting run and shout, the determination on the athletes’ faces, and their fine equipment were enough to make anyone’s heart race. It was at this moment that Tom said about his biggest birthday wish. He took a long deep breath and said, “How I wish I could have a new pair of soccer shoes for my birthday, but I know it’s impossible.”
David, sitting beside him, couldn’t help but overhear Tom’s words. The idea of helping his best friend achieve this long-held dream began to form in his mind. After school, David ran home and couldn’t wait to share the idea with his mother.
“Mom, I really want to do this for Tom. He’s been playing with those old shoes for so long. It would mean the world to him,” David explained seriously.
His mother smiled warmly, proud of her son’s compassion (同情) . “David, it’s a wonderful idea. It’s not just about the gift; it’s about the thought and effort you’re putting into making Tom’s day special.”
As David thought about how to earn the money, his mother suggested, “You know, David, there are various ways you can earn some extra money to save for the soccer shoes. Many of our neighbors are looking for someone to help with lawn mowing (刈草坪) and other services. Some even need help with newspaper delivery. You can offer your services and earn money that way.”
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。
David’s eyes lit up as he realized the potential.

Guests dine on authentic (地道的) Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience.

When many people are worried that there are no more heroes in modern times, two university students who lost their lives to rescue drowning children have shown that heroes still exist.
According to the Inner Mongolia Morning Post, the accident occurred on the afternoon of December 14, 2022 when three school students skating on a frozen lake in Qingcheng Park in Hohhot fell through the ice into the freezing water.
More than 20 university students who happened to be near the spot immediately went to the rescue of the children.
Two children were quickly rescued, but the third died. The child’s body was not found for three hours. Two of the rescuers, Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao, also died of cold and exhaustion.
The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day.
A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake. When they heard the children’s cries for help, they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children. But the ice kept breaking, causing most of them to fall into the icy water.
Local residents held mourning ceremonies (祭奠仪式) at the lake.
Eight of the students were seriously affected by the freezing water and were being kept in hospital for further observation, but their lives were no longer in danger.

An immersive and slow-paced Citywalk is becoming trendy across China. In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks, the new trend has emerged as a popular alternative to explore bustling markets, ancient streets, and charming alleys at a leisurely pace.
The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules. As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hash tags like “City walk for vacation” on lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohong shu, with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464, 600 engagements, the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention.
Citywalk, or meandering through the urban landscapes, means the act of walking freely along city streets unburdened by exhaustive plans. It offers people an avenue to intimately experience urban culture and local traditions. Citywalk is not merely about sightseeing. It creates an opportunity for social interactions and deep connections with the cities. Citywalk routes are tailored to the specific interests of both out-of-town tourists and locals. For tourists, the focus is on sharing local customs and traditions, while for locals, discussions revolve around the city’s past, present, and future. The growing trend of Citywalk reflects a changing attitude towards life, embracing a warmer, more relaxed, and slower-paced lifestyle.
As Citywalk expands beyond first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, to second-and third-tier cities across the county, it brings fresh opportunities for the tourism industry, in such areas as dining, shopping, and accommodation.
Governments in Beijing and Shandong have recognized the potential of Citywalk, incorporating it into their action plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure activities. In Shanghai, public bus lines specially designed have been introduced to elevate the overall Citywalk for participants.
“By slowing down and delving into the narrow alleys, observing the lives of city residents, and immersing oneself in the context of museums and art galleries, one is entitled to embrace the pleasure of life,” said Luo Jun, a cultural tourism enthusiast.
8. What’s the main reason for the popularity of Citywalk among young people?
A. It mainly focuses on urban sightseeing.
B. Social media offer many tempting videos.
C. Busywork schedule limits the choice of people.
D. Conventional tourist landmarks are losing charm.
9. What’s the meaning of underlined word “staggering” in the second paragraph?
A. Astonishing. B. Rewarding. C. Embarrassing. D. Shrinking.
10. Which of the following statements is NOT Citywalk?
A. An immersive route for foreigners to enjoy the alleys in Chengdu.
B. A holiday travel to hurriedly visit crowded landmarks in Shanghai.
C. A free walk including visiting museums and old towns in Qingdao.
D. A leisurely tour along Qiantang River to experience city transformation.
11. What have some governments done to promote Citywalk?
A. Facilities in the museums have been enhanced.
B. Cooperation has been strengthened among cities.
C. Opportunities have been offered to third-tier cities.
D. Specific public transportation routes have been introduced.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了沉浸式的慢节奏城市漫步正在中国成为一种时尚。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules. (城市漫步的吸引力尤其迎合了经常被繁忙的工作日程所困的年轻一代。)”可知,城市漫步在年轻人中流行的主要原因是繁忙的工作日程限制了人们的选择。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后半部分“the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention (这一趋势确实吸引了令人难以置信的关注)”说明这一趋势引起的广泛关注令人难以置信,从而推知划线部分“As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hash tags like ‘City walk for vacation’ on lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohong shu, with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464, 600 engagements(生活方式分享平台小红书上的‘城市漫步度假’等标签越来越受欢迎,阅读量达到了staggering 4.65亿次,参与量接近46.64万次)”其中划线词汇意思是“难以置信的,令人惊讶的”。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并根据第一段“An immersive and slow-paced Citywalk is becoming trendy across China. In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks, the new trend has emerged as a popular alternative to explore bustling markets, ancient streets, and charming alleys at a leisurely pace. (沉浸式的慢节奏城市漫步正在中国成为一种时尚。与匆匆走过拥挤的旅游地标不同,这种新趋势已经成为一种流行的选择,人们可以悠闲地探索繁华的市场、古老的街道和迷人的小巷。)”可知,城市漫步不包括“匆忙游览上海拥挤的地标的假日旅行”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In Shanghai, public bus lines specially designed have been introduced to elevate the overall Citywalk for participants. (在上海,专门设计的公交线路为参与者提升了整个城市漫步。)”可知,一些政府为了促进城市漫步引入了特定的公共交通路线。故选D项。

This nature-inspired “wind tree” can produce green energy in city environments.
From community solar farms to co-owned wind turbines (风力发电机), inventors are coming up with new ways to bring green power into our homes. Now, micro wind turbines designed to look like trees are addressing some of the challenges of green energy. The “trees” have branches tipped with leaf-shaped micro wind turbines.
“People can sit under the ‘tree’ to keep cool. Its colour can also be changed,” says Luc Eric Krief, owner of New World Wind, the French company behind the technology.
But the turbines’ looks aren’t their only attractiveness. At between five and 10 metres tall, the “trees” are easy to set up — even in city environments — without major engineering work. Once a turbine is in place, a single bracket and three bolts (一个支架和三个螺栓) are all that’s needed to complete the setup. Their size also solves some of the other problems faced by big turbines, such as bird crashes. Plus, they run in silence.
“Rather than being connected to the national grid (国家输电网), the turbines provide energy directly to a building’s existing electrical system. While it’s unlikely that wind conditions would remain high around the clock, in typical conditions of 8 m/s, one wind tree could produce almost 18,000 kwh per year, enough to power a four-person household. This could reduce a home’s CO2 emissions by over 12 tonnes a year,” says Krief.
So far, the company has set up 130 wind trees around the world, from Europe to the US to South Korea. Most of the company’s customers are commercial. They have also set up three wind trees residentially in Birmingham, UK; Vermont, USA; and Switzerland. As New World Wind grows, with plans to enter the Americas, wind trees could become a more familiar sight on streets and in gardens around the world.
12. What is true about the wind tree?
A. It can produce electricity.
B. It can protect the farm from the wind.
C. It can be planted at home to create fresh air.
D. It can control the strength of the wind in the city.
13. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the wind tree?
A. Its appearance. B. Its advantages. C. Its safety. D. Its costs.
14. What can we learn about the wind tree from the words of Krief?
A. It is designed for household use.
B. It is supported by the national grid.
C. It can make some contributions to environmental protection.
D. It can help change the way people think about green energy.
15. What can we expect of the wind tree in the future?
A. It will face more and more competition.
B It will be seen in more and more places.
C. It will be offered mainly to residential customers.
D. It will have some necessary technological improvements.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款外形像树的风力发电装置,介绍了它的外形、安装方式、使用和市场前景。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This nature-inspired ‘wind tree’ can produce green energy in city environments. (这棵受大自然启发的“风树”可以在城市环境中产生绿色能源。)”可知,“风树”可以产生绿色能源。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“At between five and 10 metres tall, the “trees” are easy to set up—even in city environments—without major engineering work (这些“树”的高度在5米到10米之间,即使在城市环境中,也很容易安装,不需要进行重大的工程建设)”以及“Their size also solves some of the other problems faced by big turbines, such as bird crashes. Plus, they run in silence. (它们的尺寸也解决了大型涡轮机面临的一些其他问题,比如鸟撞。另外,他们在安静中运行。)”讲述了,它容易安装,能够防止鸟撞,运行时安静,可知本段主要说明的是其优点。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“This could reduce a home’s CO2 emissions by over 12 tonnes a year, says Krief. (这可以减少一个家庭每年超过12吨的二氧化碳排放量,”克里夫说。)”“风树”能够减少二氧化碳的排放,可知,对环境保护作出了贡献。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As New World Wind grows, with plans to enter the Americas, wind trees could become a more familiar sight on streets and in gardens around the world. (随着新世界风的发展,并计划进入美洲,风树可能会成为世界各地街道和花园中更熟悉的景象。)”可知,可以在越来越多的地方看到风树。故选B。

How to stop procrastinating (拖延) and make a start
Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out. ____16____ Fortunately, here are four tips to get you moving again.
Little steps for big tasks.
Most procrastinators tell themselves, “I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.” Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks. ____17____ One way to do this is to break your job into steps that can be accomplished bit by bit.
____18____
Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them.
Tune out negative thoughts.
When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. ____19____ Once you change your negative thoughts, energy returns.
Give yourself credit.
____20____ But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task.
However, if you are sure that there are good reasons why you avoid doing something, you may need to re-evaluate your goals.
A. Never give up.
B. Expect difficulties.
C. Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going.
D. We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside,
E. By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them.
F. Be here now, and don’t worry about things you have to do in the future.
G. Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. B 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍如何停止拖延症并开始采取行动。
【16题详解】
首段为总起段,功能为引入话题。由空前一句话“Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out.(拖延与动机有关,也与恐惧有关。也许你们避免了付账单,也避免了提出建议或约人出去。)”可知,这里列举了有拖延症的人可能会出现的行为,而G项Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it.(不管是什么事情,拖延往往会比实际做更大的问题。)符合语境,其 putting it off 与上文Procrastinating对应,且引出下文的解决方案,有承上启下作用。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据本段的小标题“Little steps for big tasks (大事化小)”可知,本段的内容围绕把一个整体任务拆分为若干步骤来完成展开,由空前“Most procrastinators tell themselves, ‘I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.’ Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks.(大多数拖延者告诉自己,“我会等到我有心情的时候。”让我们面对现实吧;你永远不会想平衡你的支票簿或收拾你桌子上的烂摊子。这些都是枯燥乏味的任务。)”可知,这里通过举例子的方式来告诉读者,“等有心情的时候再做”是不会实现的,因为这些都是很无聊的、不令人愉悦的任务,而C项Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going.(有时你只需要让自己做起来。)符合语境,有承上作用,且其中get yourself going与后文this对应,也有启下作用。故选C项。
【18题详解】
空格处为段落小标题。根据段落内容“Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them. (那些拖延的人往往认为成功的人在没有挫折、自我怀疑和失败的情况下实现了他们的目标。这是不现实的。高效的人知道生活是令人沮丧的。他们认为自己会遇到障碍;当他们做到这一点时,他们会坚持不懈,直到克服它们。)”可知,本段主要讲有拖延症的人通常认为那些成功的人在达到目标的过程中是没有挫折、自我怀疑和失败的。而文章进一步告诉读者这是不现实的。所以B项Expect difficulties.(期待困难)符合语境,对本段有总括作用。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据本段的小标题“Tune out negative thoughts (排除消极的想法)”可知,本段的内容围绕避免负面思想对完成任务的干扰展开,第一句话“When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. (当你逃避一项任务时,可能是因为你在给自己灌输不切实际的负面信息。)”可知,这里分析了不切实际的负面信息可能是你拖延的原因,因此推知本空应该解决这一问题的办法,而E项By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them. (把它们写下来,你就有机会摆脱它们。)符合语境,为处理负面思想的办法。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据本段的小标题“Give yourself credit (表扬自己)”可知,本段的内容围绕进行自我肯定展开。本空为段首句,空后有转折连词“but”,故需要根据后面的内容进行反推。由空后句子“But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task(但是,如果你从不让自己对自己的努力感到满意,你很快就会发现尝试毫无意义。所以,无论成就有多小,都要相信自己。然后你就可以完成最艰巨的任务)”可知,来自内在的肯定是对自己最大的奖励,所以D项We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside (我们通常认为奖励来自外部)符合语境,与后文构成转折关系。故选D项。
第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分30分)

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了传统美食煎饼的历史和发展。
【36题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:每个社区都有自己的煎饼小贩,从黎明到上午10点左右供应早餐,满足了上班路上饥饿的当地人。设空处作宾语,local“当地人,本地人”为可数名词,根据后文their可知数量大于一应用复数形式。故填locals。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:与你所想的相反,煎饼可不是随便拿就能带走的街头早餐。短语contrary to表示“与……相反”。故填to。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了保持煎饼的酥脆,煎饼从来不提前做,所以排队等候是中国文化的一部分。此处preserve在句中作目的状语应用不定式,首字母大写。故填To preserve。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:但基本上,煎饼是一份值得等待的早餐。修饰后文句子应用副词basically,故填basically。

41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:据信它起源于三国时期的山东,军事战略家诸葛亮让他的士兵在火上拿着盾牌做饭。设空处为非谓语动词,此处hold与shields构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。故填held。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:复制这道菜的部分挑战在于,煎饼的做法因地区而异,甚至因供应商而异。此处challenge为特指“复制这道菜的挑战”,应用定冠词。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:许多人认为,没有几个月的练习和师傅的指导,自己做煎饼是不可能的。作宾补,表示“不可能的”应用形容词impossible。故填impossible。
【44题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:然而,有几个坚定的外国人成功了,他们在上世纪80年代第一次品尝中国煎饼后,受到启发,将煎饼带给了饥饿的中国观众。设空处在who引导非限制性定语从句中作谓语,who指代先行词foreigners,在从句作主语,与动词inspire构成被动关系,结合时间状语in the 1980s可知为一般过去时的被动语态,谓语用复数。故填were inspired。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在英国,梅美街头小推车的老板梅利莎·傅和奥利弗·傅先把煎饼的乐趣带到伦敦,现在又把煎饼带到曼彻斯特,尽管他们在完善技术方面遇到了很多困难。作介词的宾语,应用动名词。故填perfecting。

Tom’s love for soccer ran deep, and he played the game with a passion that was infectious (有感染力的) to everyone around him. But there was one thing that upset him-his worn-out soccer shoes. These shoes had been passed down to him by his older brother, and they were falling apart. With his birthday drawing near, Tom secretly wished for a new pair of soccer shoes to lift his spirits so that he could have a good performance in the game. However, he was well aware of his parents’ constant struggles to make ends meet and knew that such a wish might remain a dream forever.
One sunny afternoon, Tom and his best friend, David, were at school, watching an exciting soccer match. The exciting run and shout, the determination on the athletes’ faces, and their fine equipment were enough to make anyone’s heart race. It was at this moment that Tom said about his biggest birthday wish. He took a long deep breath and said, “How I wish I could have a new pair of soccer shoes for my birthday, but I know it’s impossible.”
David, sitting beside him, couldn’t help but overhear Tom’s words. The idea of helping his best friend achieve this long-held dream began to form in his mind. After school, David ran home and couldn’t wait to share the idea with his mother.
“Mom, I really want to do this for Tom. He’s been playing with those old shoes for so long. It would mean the world to him,” David explained seriously.
His mother smiled warmly, proud of her son’s compassion (同情) . “David, it’s a wonderful idea. It’s not just about the gift; it’s about the thought and effort you’re putting into making Tom’s day special.”
As David thought about how to earn the money, his mother suggested, “You know, David, there are various ways you can earn some extra money to save for the soccer shoes. Many of our neighbors are looking for someone to help with lawn mowing (刈草坪) and other services. Some even need help with newspaper delivery. You can offer your services and earn money that way.”

With each task completed, he was one step closer to achieving his goal of buying the soccer shoes for Tom. The thought of how close he was to making Tom’s wish come true filled him with enthusiasm.
The day of Tom’s birthday finally arrived, and David couldn’t wait to surprise his best friend. At school, David presented the gift to Tom. “Happy birthday, Tom,” he said with a wide smile. Tom, surprised and curious, eagerly tore open the wrapping paper. His eyes widened with astonishment when he saw the pair of new soccer shoes. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Tom said, “David, you did this for me? I can’t believe it! Thank you so much!” Tears of joy welled up in his eyes and he hugged his best friend.
