The Jourdain family — Lydia, 44, husband Ben, 51, their daughters Isla, 14, and Alyssa, 11 — began writing postcards in September to cheer patients up.
It started as a way for Isla to fulfill the volunteering requirements for her Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award but grew into an activity for the whole family. Mrs Jourdain and her husband have lost friends and family to cancer, which played a key role in them wanting to partake in the project. “Now every Sunday evening, I say ‘postcards, people’ and we all sit down around the kitchen table and write together. We thought it would be a nice way to boost the patients’ spirits,” Mrs Jourdain said.
She thought it was nice because they had got such a range of ages between them, so it was quite a variety of things that they wrote about or if they were all writing about the same thing, it was done in different ways.
“Sometimes we may write about something that we have attended. For example, last weekend, Isla went to see the Royal Shakespeare Company’s performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and she wrote about that. Sometimes it's more about the gardening and the weather and we may comment on the art or people on the postcard we are writing on.
The postcards are given to the charity From Me to You as part of its “donate a letter” scheme, which sees them read by the charity, filtered, repackaged and delivered to hospitals, cancer centres or individuals at home.
Mrs Jourdain said she hopes to “inspire” others to take part. “It’s so simple, but can have such an impact and I just think we need to reignite the love of a letter,” she said. “Something handwritten is so lovely and personal and cannot be replicated (复制) in an email or text.”
4 What is the main reason for the Jourdains to join the activity?
A. To inspire others to write letters. B. To raise money for cancer patients.
C. To fulfill the volunteering requirements D. To uplift people suffering from diseases
5. What can we learn about the postcards?
A. They are sent to patients after a process B. They are attached to volunteers' donations
C. They are mainly about art in different ways. D. The content focuses on the patients' daily life.
6. What does the underlined word “reignite” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Relight. B. Extend. C. Respond. D. Estimate.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Fulfilling a Dream of Patients with Postcards
B. Messages in Postcards Inspire a Little Writer
C. Putting Smiles on Faces of Patients with Postcards
D. Simple Words in Postcards Impact the Whole World
C
You may feel it start as a dull headache. Before long, you might not know where you are or what time it is. The heat roof masting millions of people across the Pacific Northwest and swaths of Canada, has already claimed hundreds of lives. A study published last month in Nature Climate Change found 37 percent of heat-related deaths is caused by global warming between 1991 and 2023. As temperatures tick ever higher, that figure may well rise.
The following is what happens if you’re one of the next people whom extreme heat kills, according to W. Lawrence Kenney, an expert at Penn State University. First, your brain sends a series of messages to your sweat glands telling them to increase sweat production. Then your heart starts beating faster to pump blood to the skin while blood flow is also directed away from your liver, kidneys, and gut. That’s your body attempting to make your skin hotter than the air outside, hoping to move heat away from you.
If your body fails to cool you down, its internal temperature might start to climb from a normal level of between 97 degrees and 99 degrees Fahrenheit to somewhere closer to 104 degrees and 105 degrees. “These are the situations where people die of classical heat stroke,” Kenney said.
At that temperature, the tissues in the brain become affected. You may feel it start as a dull headache. Before long, you may lose consciousness. While you struggle to stay awake, the overmuch internal heat harms your gut. Your body will likely cause an inflammatory (炎性的) response. Left untreated, what follows is a series of organ failure that leads to all but certain death.
We are learning more about how to avoid overheating. A 2019 study by University of Sydney researcher Ollie Jay found that electric fans cooled body temperatures and reduced cardiovascular (心血管的) strain in hot, humid weather. But in dry heat, fans actually increase body temperature —meaning access to air conditioning is crucial. But the most likely assurance against dying of extreme heat is avoiding the rise of global temperatures. Changing that requires rapidly reducing fossil fuel use and finding ways to remove more carbon from the atmosphere than we release. “Efforts so far have remained pitifully insufficient,” Kenney said.
8. What is the main issue discussed in paragraph 1?
A. The increasing number of heat-related deaths.
B The changes brought about by global warming.
C. The research published in Nature Climate Change.
D. The hot weather near the Pacific Northwest and Canada
9. What does your body react in extreme heat conditions?
A. The brain sends incorrect instructions. B. The body helps to reduce the skin temperature.
C. Sweat increases sharply and blood flows slower. D. Heart rate increases and blood flows to the skin.
10. What is likely to happen if your body fails to cool down?
A. The skin temperature will reach its peak.
B. Headache will cause your gut inflammatory.
C. Organ failure and a high risk of death will appear.
D. The internal heat will make you struggle to stay awake
11. What is suggested as the most effective way to avoid overheating?
A. Increasing the use of electric fans. B. Installing air-conditioners in homes.
C. Decreasing fossil fuel use and carbon emissions. D. Reducing cardiovascular strain in humid weather.
D
Last year, in San Antonio, Dr. Pascal Badiou carefully implanted an outer ear on a woman born without right ear. For Badiou, a recognized expert in the field, such a procedure would normally be routine. But this case had a unique aspect: For the first time, the ear he was implanting was the product of a 3D bioprinter using the woman's own cartilage (软骨) cells.
The ability to 3D print human organs is astonishing. Nearly 106, 000 Americans are currently on waiting lists for organ donations, and 17 die each day while waiting, according to the federal Health Resources and Services Administration. A 3D bioprinting process that uses the patient’s own cells to grow organs would potentially curb that waiting list.
In 3D bioprinting, the name of the game is cells. The process begins by generating the cells that researchers want to bioprint, which are then instructed to become organ specific cell types. The cells are then turned into a printable bio-ink, mixing them with extra materials to give them a toothpaste-like consistency (黏稠度). The bio-ink is loaded into syringes (注射器) and squeezed out of a nozzle (喷嘴). Once it is finished, the printed tissue is sometimes connected to a pump that drives oxygen and nutrients through it. Given time, the tissue develops on its own and increases in both maturity and function
“The 3D bioprinter gives you several advantages, ” says Atala, director of Wake Forest Institute. “Instead of making these tissues and organs by hand one at a time, you can automate the printer to do it. What’s more, we can more precisely locate the cells where they’re needed, and lower overall cost for the increased scale. And in terms of organ transplant, a new organ made of a patient's own cells makes rejection far less likely. ”
It sounds science fiction, but it's already happening. “I think that in 10 years we will have organs for transplantation,” says Atala. “We will start with simple organs like skin and cartilage, but then we'll move on to more complicated tissues — eventually the heart, liver, kidney.”
12. What makes the implant operation special?
A. Humans first successfully implanted an outer ear
B It made Dr. Badiou a recognized expert of his field.
C. The 3D bio-printed product was used in implanting.
D. The implant procedure was designed by 3D technology.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The advantages of 3D bioprinting. B. The urgent need of 3D bioprinting.
C. The potential market of organ donations. D. The increasing number of organ donations.
14. What can we learn about the process?
A. The cells are mixed to increase consistency.
B. The printed tissue can develop itself by time.
C. 3D bioprinter generates organ specific cell types
D. The tissue drives oxygen and nutrients through a pump.
15. What can we infer from what Atala says?
A. Lowering overall cost leads to the increased scale.
B. 3D bioprinted organs minimize the risk of rejection.
C. More complicated tissues will replace simple organs.
D. 3D bioprinter precisely locate the organs that are needed.

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。
Does alien life exist? It’s a question many people have tried to answer. ___16___ AI is a type of program that allows a computer to learn from experience and perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. AI works by taking in lots of data, then making predictions based on it.
The research team used their AI method to analyze different materials and determine whether they were biotic (生物性的) or abiotic. ___17___
To train the AI program, the researchers gave it data on 134 biotic and abiotic materials. The program then used that knowledge to predict whether things like human hair, bones, teeth, eaves, coal, and chemicals were alive or not. ___18___
___19___ “We may be able to find a life-form from another planet.” said Robert Hazen of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC. “If we do find signs of life elsewhere, we can tell if life on Earth and other planets derived from a common or different origin.” For now, though, the team is focused on ancient rock samples from Earth to learn more about life on our own planet and where it originated. For example, the tool could be used to settle a disagreement among scientists about 3. 5-billion-year-old rocks from Western Australia. ___20___ However, others think the rocks just have unusual patterns.
The AI could also be used to examine samples from Mars collected by the Perseverance over. NASA put this wheeled robot on the red planet to search for evidence that Mars has the right conditions to support life. Perseverance is gathering rock samples that will be brought to Earth in 2033.
A. People’s answers are various.
B. Some experts believe AI can’t tell their origin.
C. The researchers said the AI was 90% accurate.
D. The scientists also think the AI tool could detect alien life-forms.
E. Some experts believe the rocks contain Earth’s oldest fossil samples.
F. Now scientists have identified a new method for finding alien life using AI.
G. The AI also could tell whether a biotic sample was currently living or a fossil.

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。
My brother Mike and I were in the back seat playing the guessing game I Spy (发现) when the snowstorm started. Fat clumps (丛) of white, like a million cotton balls, landed on our car and stuck there. “I spy something white.” I said. “No fair,” said Mike. “Everything looks white. ”
He was right. In the hour since we’d left grandma’s house in Nebraska to return to our house in Illinois, the weather had gotten worse. The flat Nebraska land gave way to lowa hills as steep as roller coasters. The roads were slippery. “I meant Mom’s white coat,” I told Mike. “Your turn.” “I spy something blue,” Mike said.
Dad spoke to Mom. “I don’t like the looks of this.” He was whispering, but I heard him. “It’s getting harder to see anything.” Mom nodded. “The forecast mentioned snow showers, but this looks more serious than that.
On either side of the highway, deep valleys were filled with snow. As the car moved slowly on the icy road, I noticed Dad’s hands were tight on the steering wheel (方向盘).
“Guess!” Mike insisted. “The blue highway sign?” I guessed, although it was hard to read it. Wet snow blocked most of the letters. I looked around. “The blue hat on the girl in the car behind us? ” “Yes! ” Mike laughed. “Your turn. ”
At that moment, our car made a turn suddenly toward a valley, and Mom yelled. Dad managed to straighten the wheel and stay on the road. My heart pounded like I was in a race. I pressed my face against the cold window. Tire tracks on the road showed how dangerous it was! If we went down, how would we ever get out?
Nobody talked. Mike and I stopped playing I Spy. It was like we were all helping Dad drive by holding our breath. The only sound was the swish-boom, swish-boom of the wipers (雨刮器). “We need to get off and wait out this storm,” Dad said. “But I can hardly see the road, let alone an exit.”
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。
“I spy something red!” I shouted.

The Jourdain family — Lydia, 44, husband Ben, 51, their daughters Isla, 14, and Alyssa, 11 — began writing postcards in September to cheer patients up.
It started as a way for Isla to fulfill the volunteering requirements for her Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award but grew into an activity for the whole family. Mrs Jourdain and her husband have lost friends and family to cancer, which played a key role in them wanting to partake in the project. “Now every Sunday evening, I say ‘postcards, people’ and we all sit down around the kitchen table and write together. We thought it would be a nice way to boost the patients’ spirits,” Mrs Jourdain said.
She thought it was nice because they had got such a range of ages between them, so it was quite a variety of things that they wrote about or if they were all writing about the same thing, it was done in different ways.
“Sometimes we may write about something that we have attended. For example, last weekend, Isla went to see the Royal Shakespeare Company’s performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and she wrote about that. Sometimes it's more about the gardening and the weather and we may comment on the art or people on the postcard we are writing on.
The postcards are given to the charity From Me to You as part of its “donate a letter” scheme, which sees them read by the charity, filtered, repackaged and delivered to hospitals, cancer centres or individuals at home.
Mrs Jourdain said she hopes to “inspire” others to take part. “It’s so simple, but can have such an impact and I just think we need to reignite the love of a letter,” she said. “Something handwritten is so lovely and personal and cannot be replicated (复制) in an email or text.”
4. What is the main reason for the Jourdains to join the activity?
A. To inspire others to write letters. B. To raise money for cancer patients.
C. To fulfill the volunteering requirements D. To uplift people suffering from diseases
5. What can we learn about the postcards?
A. They are sent to patients after a process B. They are attached to volunteers' donations
C. They are mainly about art in different ways. D. The content focuses on the patients' daily life.
6. What does the underlined word “reignite” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Relight. B. Extend. C. Respond. D. Estimate.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Fulfilling a Dream of Patients with Postcards
B. Messages in Postcards Inspire a Little Writer
C. Putting Smiles on Faces of Patients with Postcards
D. Simple Words in Postcards Impact the Whole World
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Jourdain一家写明信片给病人加油鼓劲的活动,希望以此给病人带去笑容。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段的“Mrs Jourdain and her husband have lost friends and family to cancer, which played a key role in them wanting to partake in the project. “Now every Sunday evening, I say ‘postcards, people’ and we all sit down around the kitchen table and write together. We thought it would be a nice way to boost the patients’ spirits,” Mrs Jourdain said.(Jourdain夫人和她的丈夫因癌症失去了朋友和家人,这成为他们想要参与这个项目的关键原因。“现在每个周日晚上,我都会说‘写明信片的时间到了,大家’,然后我们全家人会围坐在厨房的桌子旁一起写明信片。我们认为这是提升患者情绪的一个很好的方式,”Jourdain夫人说道)”可知,Jourdain一家参与这项活动的主要原因是希望提振遭受疾病困扰的人们的精神。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第四段的“The postcards are given to the charity From Me to You as part of its “donate a letter” scheme, which sees them read by the charity, filtered, repackaged and delivered to hospitals, cancer centres or individuals at home.(这些明信片是作为“From Me to You”慈善机构的“捐一封信”计划的一部分而赠送的。在这个计划下,明信片会被慈善机构阅读、筛选、重新包装,然后送到医院、癌症中心或在家中的个人手中)” 可知,明信片在经过一系列的处理后被送到患者手中。故选A。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“Mrs Jourdain said she hopes to “inspire” others to take part. “It’s so simple, but can have such an impact(Jourdain女士表示,她希望“激励”其他人参与其中。“这很简单,但可以产生如此大的影响”)”以及“Something handwritten is so lovely and personal and cannot be replicated (复制) in an email or text.(手写的东西是如此可爱和个性化,无法在电子邮件或文本中复制)”可知,手写的东西很可爱和个性化,无法用电子邮件或短信替代,作者认为需要重新激发人们对书信的热爱。所以划线单词“reignite”的意思为“重新点燃”。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Jourdain family — Lydia, 44, husband Ben, 51, their daughters Isla, 14, and Alyssa, 11— began writing postcards in September to cheer patients up.(Jourdain一家——44岁的Lydia、51岁的丈夫Ben、14岁的女儿Isla和11岁的Alyssa——从9月开始写明信片,让病人振作起来)”以及全文可知,文章主要介绍了Jourdain一家写明信片给病人加油鼓劲的活动,希望以此给病人带去笑容。所以“用明信片让患者脸上露出笑容”适合作本文的标题。故选C。

You may feel it start as a dull headache. Before long, you might not know where you are or what time it is. The heat roof masting millions of people across the Pacific Northwest and swaths of Canada, has already claimed hundreds of lives. A study published last month in Nature Climate Change found 37 percent of heat-related deaths is caused by global warming between 1991 and 2023. As temperatures tick ever higher, that figure may well rise.
The following is what happens if you’re one of the next people whom extreme heat kills, according to W. Lawrence Kenney, an expert at Penn State University. First, your brain sends a series of messages to your sweat glands telling them to increase sweat production. Then your heart starts beating faster to pump blood to the skin while blood flow is also directed away from your liver, kidneys, and gut. That’s your body attempting to make your skin hotter than the air outside, hoping to move heat away from you.
If your body fails to cool you down, its internal temperature might start to climb from a normal level of between 97 degrees and 99 degrees Fahrenheit to somewhere closer to 104 degrees and 105 degrees. “These are the situations where people die of classical heat stroke,” Kenney said.
At that temperature, the tissues in the brain become affected. You may feel it start as a dull headache. Before long, you may lose consciousness. While you struggle to stay awake, the overmuch internal heat harms your gut. Your body will likely cause an inflammatory (炎性的) response. Left untreated, what follows is a series of organ failure that leads to all but certain death.
We are learning more about how to avoid overheating. A 2019 study by University of Sydney researcher Ollie Jay found that electric fans cooled body temperatures and reduced cardiovascular (心血管的) strain in hot, humid weather. But in dry heat, fans actually increase body temperature —meaning access to air conditioning is crucial. But the most likely assurance against dying of extreme heat is avoiding the rise of global temperatures. Changing that requires rapidly reducing fossil fuel use and finding ways to remove more carbon from the atmosphere than we release. “Efforts so far have remained pitifully insufficient,” Kenney said.
8. What is the main issue discussed in paragraph 1?
A. The increasing number of heat-related deaths.
B. The changes brought about by global warming.
C. The research published in Nature Climate Change.
D. The hot weather near the Pacific Northwest and Canada
9. What does your body react in extreme heat conditions?
A. The brain sends incorrect instructions. B. The body helps to reduce the skin temperature.
C. Sweat increases sharply and blood flows slower. D. Heart rate increases and blood flows to the skin.
10. What is likely to happen if your body fails to cool down?
A. The skin temperature will reach its peak.
B. Headache will cause your gut inflammatory.
C. Organ failure and a high risk of death will appear.
D. The internal heat will make you struggle to stay awake
11. What is suggested as the most effective way to avoid overheating?
A. Increasing the use of electric fans. B. Installing air-conditioners in homes.
C. Decreasing fossil fuel use and carbon emissions. D. Reducing cardiovascular strain in humid weather.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C

Last year, in San Antonio, Dr. Pascal Badiou carefully implanted an outer ear on a woman born without right ear. For Badiou, a recognized expert in the field, such a procedure would normally be routine. But this case had a unique aspect: For the first time, the ear he was implanting was the product of a 3D bioprinter using the woman's own cartilage (软骨) cells.
The ability to 3D print human organs is astonishing. Nearly 106, 000 Americans are currently on waiting lists for organ donations, and 17 die each day while waiting, according to the federal Health Resources and Services Administration. A 3D bioprinting process that uses the patient’s own cells to grow organs would potentially curb that waiting list.
In 3D bioprinting, the name of the game is cells. The process begins by generating the cells that researchers want to bioprint, which are then instructed to become organ specific cell types. The cells are then turned into a printable bio-ink, mixing them with extra materials to give them a toothpaste-like consistency (黏稠度). The bio-ink is loaded into syringes (注射器) and squeezed out of a nozzle (喷嘴). Once it is finished, the printed tissue is sometimes connected to a pump that drives oxygen and nutrients through it. Given time, the tissue develops on its own and increases in both maturity and function
“The 3D bioprinter gives you several advantages, ” says Atala, director of Wake Forest Institute. “Instead of making these tissues and organs by hand one at a time, you can automate the printer to do it. What’s more, we can more precisely locate the cells where they’re needed, and lower overall cost for the increased scale. And in terms of organ transplant, a new organ made of a patient's own cells makes rejection far less likely. ”
It sounds science fiction, but it's already happening. “I think that in 10 years we will have organs for transplantation,” says Atala. “We will start with simple organs like skin and cartilage, but then we'll move on to more complicated tissues — eventually the heart, liver, kidney.”
12. What makes the implant operation special?
A. Humans first successfully implanted an outer ear
B. It made Dr. Badiou a recognized expert of his field.
C. The 3D bio-printed product was used in implanting.
D. The implant procedure was designed by 3D technology.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The advantages of 3D bioprinting. B. The urgent need of 3D bioprinting.
C. The potential market of organ donations. D. The increasing number of organ donations.
14. What can we learn about the process?
A. The cells are mixed to increase consistency.
B. The printed tissue can develop itself by time.
C. 3D bioprinter generates organ specific cell types
D. The tissue drives oxygen and nutrients through a pump.
15. What can we infer from what Atala says?
A. Lowering overall cost leads to the increased scale.
B. 3D bioprinted organs minimize the risk of rejection.
C. More complicated tissues will replace simple organs.
D. 3D bioprinter precisely locate the organs that are needed.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. B

Does alien life exist? It’s a question many people have tried to answer. ___16___ AI is a type of program that allows a computer to learn from experience and perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. AI works by taking in lots of data, then making predictions based on it.
The research team used their AI method to analyze different materials and determine whether they were biotic (生物性的) or abiotic. ___17___
To train the AI program, the researchers gave it data on 134 biotic and abiotic materials. The program then used that knowledge to predict whether things like human hair, bones, teeth, eaves, coal, and chemicals were alive or not. ___18___
___19___ “We may be able to find a life-form from another planet.” said Robert Hazen of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC. “If we do find signs of life elsewhere, we can tell if life on Earth and other planets derived from a common or different origin.” For now, though, the team is focused on ancient rock samples from Earth to learn more about life on our own planet and where it originated. For example, the tool could be used to settle a disagreement among scientists about 3. 5-billion-year-old rocks from Western Australia. ___20___ However, others think the rocks just have unusual patterns.
The AI could also be used to examine samples from Mars collected by the Perseverance over. NASA put this wheeled robot on the red planet to search for evidence that Mars has the right conditions to support life. Perseverance is gathering rock samples that will be brought to Earth in 2033.
A. People’s answers are various.
B. Some experts believe AI can’t tell their origin.
C. The researchers said the AI was 90% accurate.
D. The scientists also think the AI tool could detect alien life-forms.
E. Some experts believe the rocks contain Earth’s oldest fossil samples.

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了西方人对孔子的误解,以及孔子的真实身份和背景。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:许多西方人只知道孔子这个名字,是因为他们在中餐馆吃完饭后吃到的幸运饼干。meal意为“一餐”为可数名词,句中用的单数,所以前应用不定冠词修饰,meal为辅音音素开头,用a修饰。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些卡片里有一张纸,上面写着一句话,通常以“孔子说”开头。本句已有谓语动词contain,所以begin用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语These之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填beginning。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:问题是,通常被认为是孔子说那些话也同样是假的。本句已有谓语动词are,所以credit用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语sayings之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填credited。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:它们实际上是20世纪初在美国旧金山发明的。空处修饰空后的动词,用副词修饰。故填actually。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:事实上,大多数时候,幸运饼干中与孔子有关的名言都是孔子从未说过的话,在某些情况下,甚至可能与孔子真正教导的相反。此处考查固定搭配:related to意为“与相关”。故填to。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:事实上,大多数时候,幸运饼干中与孔子有关的名言都是孔子从未说过的话,在某些情况下,甚至可能与孔子真正教导的相反。空前是形容词,所以空处应填名词,case意为“案例”,为可数名词,根据空前的some可知,用复数形式。故填cases。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:事实上,大多数时候,幸运饼干中与孔子有关的名言都是孔子从未说过的话,在某些情况下,甚至可能与孔子真正教导的相反。此处是what引导的宾语从句,teach作从句的谓语,描述已发生的事,用一般过去时。故填taught。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:因此,虽然几乎所有的西方人都听说过他是中国最伟大的哲学家之一,但大多数人并不清楚他到底是谁,他的信仰是什么。空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,根据空前的one of the可知,用最高级。故填greatest。
【44题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:孔子是鲁国(今中国山东)的一位官员。空处引导的是宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,指Lu这个地点,用what引导。故填what。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他的真名是孔丘,但在中国,他通常被称为“孔子”,意思是“孔大师”。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Kongzi,在从句中作主语,指名字,用which引导。故填which。

【答案】Dear Ryan,
Hearing that you wanted to know some information about the club activity, I’m delighted to share my experience of participating in the school calligraphy club last week.
The session was incredibly enriching. As I observed the master demonstrating the calligraphy, I was deeply attracted by the art. I was also struck by the masters’ elegant and amazing works. The art of calligraphy requires patience and focus, which I found both challenging and rewarding. While dipping my brush into the ink and practicing writing, I felt peaceful and calm.
Not only did I practise my artistic skills through calligraphy club activity but also learned the importance of patience and discipline. If our clubs can provide more opportunities for members to showcase their works, that will be better.
Yours,
Li hua

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。
My brother Mike and I were in the back seat playing the guessing game I Spy (发现) when the snowstorm started. Fat clumps (丛) of white, like a million cotton balls, landed on our car and stuck there. “I spy something white.” I said. “No fair,” said Mike. “Everything looks white. ”
He was right. In the hour since we’d left grandma’s house in Nebraska to return to our house in Illinois, the weather had gotten worse. The flat Nebraska land gave way to lowa hills as steep as roller coasters. The roads were slippery. “I meant Mom’s white coat,” I told Mike. “Your turn.” “I spy something blue,” Mike said.
Dad spoke to Mom. “I don’t like the looks of this.” He was whispering, but I heard him. “It’s getting harder to see anything.” Mom nodded. “The forecast mentioned snow showers, but this looks more serious than that.
On either side of the highway, deep valleys were filled with snow. As the car moved slowly on the icy road, I noticed Dad’s hands were tight on the steering wheel (方向盘).
“Guess!” Mike insisted. “The blue highway sign?” I guessed, although it was hard to read it. Wet snow blocked most of the letters. I looked around. “The blue hat on the girl in the car behind us? ” “Yes! ” Mike laughed. “Your turn. ”
At that moment, our car made a turn suddenly toward a valley, and Mom yelled. Dad managed to straighten the wheel and stay on the road. My heart pounded like I was in a race. I pressed my face against the cold window. Tire tracks on the road showed how dangerous it was! If we went down, how would we ever get out?
Nobody talked. Mike and I stopped playing I Spy. It was like we were all helping Dad drive by holding our breath. The only sound was the swish-boom, swish-boom of the wipers (雨刮器). “We need to get off and wait out this storm,” Dad said. “But I can hardly see the road, let alone an exit.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

“I spy something red!” I shouted.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We saw a red sign EAT HERE near the exit.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“I spy something red!” I shouted. “Not now, Kenny,” Dad scolded. “I saw a red, blinking light high in the sky. They were red words,” I continued. “Let’s stop playing the game,” Mom said. But I had seen it. “It was like one of those really tall signs that flash GAS or FOOD like we’ve seen near exits.” Dad glanced at me and then hesitantly looked out of the window. Then, slowly, Dad drove, straining to see. The tires whined as he tried to go up the icy road. “You’re right!” Mom cried, pointing ahead.
We saw a red sign EAT HERE near the exit. All of us let out a big breath. Dad inched the car toward the exit. We finally slipped and slid our way into the parking lot. Parking the car, we then got out of the car and trudged through the deepening snow to the diner. Once inside, we ordered hot soup and bread. It never tasted so good. In the warm diner, we talked about this unforgettable experience. “We wouldn’t have found it,” Dad said, winking at me, “if we weren’t riding with someone who’s very good at I Spy.”
