Anand Malligavad, known as the “Lake Man” in India, is a mechanical engineer from Bengaluru. He has spent his life studying ancient techniques for keeping lakes clean. Maligavad has successfully restored many lakes, covering a total surface area of 800 acres. These lakes now hold 106 million gallons (加仑) of water, and the groundwater level in those regions has increased by eight feet.
It was in 2017, and he was out for a walk with colleagues when he fell into a smelly, dirty lake. He remembered from his childhood that this was once a clean lake. The very next day, he asked his company if they would help fund the restoration of the 36 acre lake. However, they were uncertain whether Malligavad could do this. Determined to succeed, Malligavad took it upon himself to study the history of the lake and familiarize himself with various lake restoration methods. Four months later, Malligavad received funding from his company, which enabled him to start working on this project in the city of Bengaluru.
With the aid of hundreds of volunteers, they removed the waste and opened the channels. Malligavad then adopted the ancient Chola method to build mud walls that channel the extra rainwater into the lakes for agricultural use. It took them just 45 days and then they waited for the rains. Six months later, when the rainy season came, he was out boating on a fresh, clean lake. “When I saw the lake, I felt younger, and I wanted to jump into it,” Malligavad said.
Since this first win, Malligavad has not stopped. He created a non-profit organization called The Lake Revivers Collective. “All I have is a sense of urgency that if we don’t repair the damage we’ve already caused,” he said, “it’s going to end badly for all of us. Water shortage is a major problem in Bengaluru. Water tankers must drive in to meet the population’s needs.” His methods help to solve the problem, and even attract wildlife.
4. Why is Malligavad probably called the “Lake Man” in India?
A. He is good at boating on lakes.
B. He is devoted to recovering lakes.
C. He completed many lake adventures.
D. He created new ways of cleaning up lakes.
5. How did Malligavad respond to his company’s doubt?
A. By doing lake research to win support.
B. By seeking help from other companies.
C. By discontinuing the restoration project.
D. By making the lake’s history well known.
6. What words can best describe the approach applied in Bengaluru?
A. Creative but costly. B. Practical and fruitful.
C. Traditional but outdated. D. Challenging and dissatisfying.
7 What inspired Malligavad to start the non-profit organization?
A. His desire to fund water tankers.
B. His passion for wildlife protection.
C. The wish to attract public attention.
D. The serious lack of water resources.
C
Many people keep pets. They love their pets and take good care of them. However, there are also some owners who abandon (抛弃) heir cats and dogs.
Second Chance is an organization set up by a group of animal lovers. Its purpose is to help abandoned pets find new homes. Our volunteers bring pets they have saved to our shelter. They also take care of them until the animals find new homes. In the past three years, Second Chance has successfully matched over fifty pets to new owners.
Christy adopted Sweetie, a dog, last month. Our volunteers found Sweetie in a park. Before she was saved, she was so tiny because she had not had enough to eat. When we first took her to our shelter, she was timid. She always hid in the corners and avoided meeting people. After a few months, with our volunteers love and care, Sweetie got a fresh start. She was no longer afraid of people. She also grew healthier. We soon matched her with Christy, whose dog just died. Christy likes Sweetie a lot. And she plans to adopt another dog in the future.
Second Chance depends on your donations to continue our meaningful work. Your support can help us save and take care of more abandoned pets. But what’s more important is to think carefully before you keep a pet. If you decide to keep a pet, please adopt an abandoned one in our shelter. Don’t buy one in the pet shop. Your decision will change an animal’s life. For more information, please check our website: www.2ndchance.org.hk.
8 How does Second Chance help abandoned pets?
A. By checking their health. B. By sending them to pet shops.
C. By finding new homes for them. D. By returning them to their owners.
9. What does the underlined word “timid” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Thin. B. Shy. C. Lazy. D. Calm.
10. The author uses the example of Sweetie to show ________.
A. Christy is patient
B. there are more abandoned dogs
C. the volunteers are hard-working
D. Second Chance gives abandoned pets a new life
11. What’s the main purpose of the text?

C. To explain the situation of abandoned animals.
D. To ask us to help Second Chance and abandoned animals.

Sara Braden doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with a lot more hobbies than her friends, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes annoyed and impatient. “It impacts me greatly,” says Braden, 35, a Washington officer.
According to a recent study led by Daniel Arely, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, Braden has ADHD, a type of attention disorder, which, she says, makes her “likely to put things in certain places and not remember where I put them.”
Her anxiety is familiar to anyone whose phone is missing a dozen times a day. Such kind of mistakes might result in a constant fear: Is something wrong with me? Probably not. “It’s common and certainly annoying,” says Professor Arely, “Most of the time, losing things is a breakdown of attention and memory. We’re thinking about something else. We have other concerns occupying our attention, and then we never really add the information to memory about where we’ve put the object.”
The study shows that, sometimes, people with ADHD report that losing things affects their work productivity or relationships. For example, if they can’t find their keys all the time and are late for a dinner party, they could anger their friends. In that case, it’s worth being evaluated by a doctor. Nevertheless, not all cases deserve special attention. Actually, people who have had ADHD since they were teens have nothing much to worry about. For those with ADHD, what really matters is changes from past performance.
“When we’re operating on autopilot(自动驾驶)and not truly focused on our surroundings, we may still lose things even with the strongest intention not to do so,” Professor Arely says. But for the most part, he thinks people can overcome the tendency to lose things. Sara Braden has learned to adapt, in part by writing down where she has stored items. She also coaches herself not to panic when an item gets lost.
12. What’s the function of Paragraph 1?
A. To present Sara Braden’s unhappy life.
B. To suggest a working mom’s stress.
C. To lead to the topic of the passage.
D. To show the main idea of the passage.
13. Which possible outcome for people with ADHD is not mentioned in the text?
A. Low work efficiency. B. Adaptive trouble.
C. Emotional breakdown. D. Interpersonal trouble.
14. What can we learn from this passage?
A. ADHD may result in bad family relationship.
B. Self-doubt is the main reason for people’s losing things.
C. Operating on autopilot needs no attention to the surroundings.
D. Taking notes helps overcome forgetfulness somehow.
15. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Anxiety Results in Losing Things.
B. ADHD: a Rare Phenomenon.
C. ADHD Always Needs Doctors’ Help.
D. Losing Things: Common but Annoying.

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。
Tommy was just a six-year-old boy but he had a strong sense of independence. He enjoyed having things done in his own way and was resistant to following his mother’s instructions.
Daddy had purchased some lovely toy trucks and cars for Tommy so that the little boy had quite a collection, with at least a dozen trucks and some blue, orange, green, and yellow cars. Among them were racing cars and compact vehicles (小型汽车), but Tommy’s favorite was the fire truck, accompanied by an ambulance.
Tommy generally took great pleasure in playing with his treasured trucks and cars in the living room, but occasionally on the driveway leading to the garage (车库). He would create roads for them in the gravel (沙砾) and engage in various imaginative games. However, it was expected of Tommy to bring them indoors every evening after he finished playing, a responsibility he consistently ignored. He often made every possible excuse, claiming that he would bring them in later or that it would be fine to leave them outside overnight, ready for him to play with the next morning.
One late afternoon, Tommy was firmly resolved not to bring the toy vehicles inside when he finished playing. When Mother urged him, he declared “no”. “I’ll bring them in later,” he added. “I’m not ready yet.”
“But, Tommy,” Mother insisted “Something might happen to them out there. They could be stolen, or Daddy’s car might run over them.”
“They’ll be all right,” said Tommy. “Nothing has happened to them so far.”
“But you would be very sorry if something did happen,” Mother remarked. “You know you would.”
“OK. I’ll bring them in after dinner.”
“It will be dark by then. Bring them in now.”
“All right.”
However, Tommy failed to bring them inside. He just ran toward the front door and completely forgot about his toys.
注意“”
1.续写词数应为150左右;

After nightfall, two large headlights came flashing up the driveway.

Anand Malligavad, known as the “Lake Man” in India, is a mechanical engineer from Bengaluru. He has spent his life studying ancient techniques for keeping lakes clean. Maligavad has successfully restored many lakes, covering a total surface area of 800 acres. These lakes now hold 106 million gallons (加仑) of water, and the groundwater level in those regions has increased by eight feet.
It was in 2017, and he was out for a walk with colleagues when he fell into a smelly, dirty lake. He remembered from his childhood that this was once a clean lake. The very next day, he asked his company if they would help fund the restoration of the 36 acre lake. However, they were uncertain whether Malligavad could do this. Determined to succeed, Malligavad took it upon himself to study the history of the lake and familiarize himself with various lake restoration methods. Four months later, Malligavad received funding from his company, which enabled him to start working on this project in the city of Bengaluru.
With the aid of hundreds of volunteers, they removed the waste and opened the channels. Malligavad then adopted the ancient Chola method to build mud walls that channel the extra rainwater into the lakes for agricultural use. It took them just 45 days and then they waited for the rains. Six months later, when the rainy season came, he was out boating on a fresh, clean lake. “When I saw the lake, I felt younger, and I wanted to jump into it,” Malligavad said.
Since this first win Malligavad has not stopped. He created a non-profit organization called The Lake Revivers Collective. “All I have is a sense of urgency that if we don’t repair the damage we’ve already caused,” he said, “it’s going to end badly for all of us. Water shortage is a major problem in Bengaluru. Water tankers must drive in to meet the population’s needs.” His methods help to solve the problem, and even attract wildlife.
4. Why is Malligavad probably called the “Lake Man” in India?
A. He is good at boating on lakes.
B. He is devoted to recovering lakes.
C. He completed many lake adventures.
D. He created new ways of cleaning up lakes.
5. How did Malligavad respond to his company’s doubt?
A. By doing lake research to win support.
B. By seeking help from other companies.
C. By discontinuing the restoration project.
D. By making the lake’s history well known.
6. What words can best describe the approach applied in Bengaluru?
A. Creative but costly. B. Practical and fruitful.
C. Traditional but outdated. D. Challenging and dissatisfying.
7. What inspired Malligavad to start the non-profit organization?
A. His desire to fund water tankers.
B. His passion for wildlife protection.
C. The wish to attract public attention.
D. The serious lack of water resources.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D

Many people keep pets. They love their pets and take good care of them. However, there are also some owners who abandon (抛弃) heir cats and dogs.
Second Chance is an organization set up by a group of animal lovers. Its purpose is to help abandoned pets find new homes. Our volunteers bring pets they have saved to our shelter. They also take care of them until the animals find new homes. In the past three years, Second Chance has successfully matched over fifty pets to new owners.
Christy adopted Sweetie, a dog, last month. Our volunteers found Sweetie in a park. Before she was saved, she was so tiny because she had not had enough to eat. When we first took her to our shelter, she was timid. She always hid in the corners and avoided meeting people. After a few months, with our volunteers love and care, Sweetie got a fresh start. She was no longer afraid of people. She also grew healthier. We soon matched her with Christy, whose dog just died. Christy likes Sweetie a lot. And she plans to adopt another dog in the future.
Second Chance depends on your donations to continue our meaningful work. Your support can help us save and take care of more abandoned pets. But what’s more important is to think carefully before you keep a pet. If you decide to keep a pet, please adopt an abandoned one in our shelter. Don’t buy one in the pet shop. Your decision will change an animal’s life. For more information, please check our website: www.2ndchance.org.hk.

Sara Braden doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with a lot more hobbies than her friends, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes annoyed and impatient. “It impacts me greatly,” says Braden, 35, a Washington officer.
According to a recent study led by Daniel Arely, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, Braden has ADHD, a type of attention disorder, which, she says, makes her “likely to put things in certain places and not remember where I put them.”
Her anxiety is familiar to anyone whose phone is missing a dozen times a day. Such kind of mistakes might result in a constant fear: Is something wrong with me? Probably not. “It’s common and certainly annoying,” says Professor Arely, “Most of the time, losing things is a breakdown of attention and memory. We’re thinking about something else. We have other concerns occupying our attention, and then we never really add the information to memory about where we’ve put the object.”
The study shows that, sometimes, people with ADHD report that losing things affects their work productivity or relationships. For example, if they can’t find their keys all the time and are late for a dinner party, they could anger their friends. In that case, it’s worth being evaluated by a doctor. Nevertheless, not all cases deserve special attention. Actually, people who have had ADHD since they were teens have nothing much to worry about. For those with ADHD, what really matters is changes from past performance.
“When we’re operating on autopilot(自动驾驶)and not truly focused on our surroundings, we may still lose things even with the strongest intention not to do so,” Professor Arely says. But for the most part, he thinks people can overcome the tendency to lose things. Sara Braden has learned to adapt, in part by writing down where she has stored items. She also coaches herself not to panic when an item gets lost.
12. What’s the function of Paragraph 1?
A. To present Sara Braden’s unhappy life.
B. To suggest a working mom’s stress.
C. To lead to the topic of the passage.
D. To show the main idea of the passage.
13. Which possible outcome for people with ADHD is not mentioned in the text?
A. Low work efficiency. B. Adaptive trouble.
C. Emotional breakdown. D. Interpersonal trouble.
14. What can we learn from this passage?
A. ADHD may result in bad family relationship.
B. Self-doubt is the main reason for people’s losing things.
C. Operating on autopilot needs no attention to the surroundings.
D. Taking notes helps overcome forgetfulness somehow.
15. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Anxiety Results in Losing Things.
B. ADHD: a Rare Phenomenon.
C. ADHD Always Needs Doctors’ Help.
D. Losing Things: Common but Annoying.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D

We’re thinking about something else. We have other concerns occupying our attention, and then we never really add the information to memory about where we’ve put the object.”(“这种情况很常见,而且确实很烦人,”阿雷利教授说,“大多数时候,丢失物品是注意力和记忆力下降的表现。我们在想别的事情。我们还有其他事情需要注意,因此我们从未真正记住物品的放置位置。”)”可知,文章主要介绍了经常不记得自己将东西放在哪里的人有可能患有注意力缺陷多动障碍 (ADHD),这种现象很常见,但是很烦人,文章进一步讨论了患有注意力缺陷多动障碍 (ADHD)的危害以及应对办法。D项“丢东西:常见但烦人。”适合做文章标题,故选D。

Hi Cindy,

【答案】Hi Cindy,
Hope this email finds you well. I am glad to hear that you are interested in learning Chinese but I have some concerns about your method.
Reciting a dictionary may help with vocabulary, but language learning involves much more than memorizing words. To grasp a language, you’d better understand its grammar, structure and cultural context, which cannot be achieved by single word memorizing. It is suggested that you should expose yourself to real situations like joining a Chinese club, where you can put what you learn from Chinese dictionaries into use. I believe you can make great progress.
Looking forward to your reply.
Love,
Li Hua

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。
Tommy was just a six-year-old boy, but he had a strong sense of independence. He enjoyed having things done in his own way and was resistant to following his mother’s instructions.
Daddy had purchased some lovely toy trucks and cars for Tommy so that the little boy had quite a collection, with at least a dozen trucks and some blue, orange, green, and yellow cars. Among them were racing cars and compact vehicles (小型汽车), but Tommy’s favorite was the fire truck, accompanied by an ambulance.
Tommy generally took great pleasure in playing with his treasured trucks and cars in the living room, but occasionally on the driveway leading to the garage (车库). He would create roads for them in the gravel (沙砾) and engage in various imaginative games. However, it was expected of Tommy to bring them indoors every evening after he finished playing, a responsibility he consistently ignored. He often made every possible excuse, claiming that he would bring them in later or that it would be fine to leave them outside overnight, ready for him to play with the next morning.
One late afternoon, Tommy was firmly resolved not to bring the toy vehicles inside when he finished playing. When Mother urged him, he declared “no”. “I’ll bring them in later,” he added. “I’m not ready yet.”
“But, Tommy,” Mother insisted “Something might happen to them out there. They could be stolen, or Daddy’s car might run over them.”
“They’ll be all right,” said Tommy. “Nothing has happened to them so far.”
“But you would be very sorry if something did happen,” Mother remarked. “You know you would.”
“OK. I’ll bring them in after dinner.”
“It will be dark by then. Bring them in now.”
“All right.”
However, Tommy failed to bring them inside. He just ran toward the front door and completely forgot about his toys.
注意“”
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
After nightfall, two large headlights came flashing up the driveway.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I’m deeply sorry, Tommy,” Daddy said regretfully.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 After nightfall, two large headlights came flashing up the driveway. It was his dad that just got back from work. He drove the car to the driveway and stopped it. Then he got out of the car. To his surprise, he found Tommy’s toy vehicles lying under the tire, which were broken into pieces. Among the toy vehicles was Tommy’s favorite car — the fire truck. “Oh, no. Tommy’s favorite car was also crushed. He must be very sad.” Daddy thought. Taking these broken toy vehicles, Daddy got into the room and found Tommy.
“I’m deeply sorry, Tommy,” Daddy said regretfully. Seeing the broken toy vehicles in Daddy’s hands, Tommy knew what happened. Instantly, he cried sorrowfully, saying “I should not have left them outside. I always forget to take them inside. How stupid I am!” Daddy comforted Tommy, “It is not so bad. At least you realize that your own problem. I am sorry for crushing your toy vehicles. I promise that I will buy some lovely toy trucks and cars again for you. But this time you should remember to take them inside when you are not playing with them. You are their owner so you should look after well them.” Tommy nodded his head vigorously. From then on, all of the toys were well protected by Tommy.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了六岁的Tommy很喜欢爸爸给他买的玩具车,他偶尔也会在通往车库的车道上玩。但是他总是忘记将它们带回屋里。尽管母亲告诉他让他带进屋里,以防被偷或被车压坏,但是他还是忘记将它们带进屋里,以至于被爸爸的车压坏了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“夜幕降临后,两盏巨大的车灯在车道上闪烁。”可知,第一段可描写爸爸不小心将Tommy的玩具车压坏了。
②由第二段首句内容““我非常抱歉,汤米,”爸爸遗憾地说道。”可知,第二段可描写爸爸向Tommy道歉,Tommy意识到自己的错误,即不应该忘记将车带到屋里,爸爸答应给他再买一些玩具车,Tommy承诺不玩的时候一定将它们带到屋里。
2.续写线索:压坏玩具车——道歉——意识到自己的错误——爸爸答应给他再买一些——承诺不玩的时候一定将它们带到屋里
