It was surrounded by four huge vegetable gardens. And around the house so many flowers were planted. It was so beautiful there in the spring and summer. That wasn’t all, though. On the back porch(门廊) Nana had dozens of potted plants hanging on hooks. She watered them, talked to them and grew them. And in the winter she would carry them all inside and set them on shelves near the windows of our enclosed front porch. There with a little water and a lot of love she kept them alive, green, and growing even during the coldest, darkest months. As a boy I was puzzled by all the effort she put into them. I understood the vegetable gardens. They helped to feed the family all winter long. I even understood the flowers around the house. They were pretty and smelled so sweet in the summer months. The reason she put so much effort into caring for those potted plants, however, eluded me. They didn’t give us any food and they rarely had any flowers on them. They remained a mystery to my child’s mind. Now as I’ve grown older I am beginning to understand why my Nana had those potted plants. It is the same reason I have so many pictures of sunrises and forests hanging in my home. They remind me during the dark, cold, winter months full of bare trees and yellow grass that light, love, and growth still exist. They remind me that Spring will come again. They remind me that God loves us and is still with us even when the earth doesn’t show it. Today I see Nana’s potted plants in a new light. They are worth every bit of the love and care she put into them. But what tells me most about light and love is Nana herself. She is light to my soul even in my darkest times. And her love lives on in my heart even if she is in Heaven. May we all learn to love as she loved, shine as she shined, and live as she lived. 4. Which of the following is close in meaning to the underlined word “eluded” in paragraph 2? A. Upset. B. Misguided. C. Confused. D. Excited. 5. Why was Nana fond of potted plants? A. They were a sign of hope. B. They looked like sunrise and forests. C. They constantly kept Nana company. D. They were movable and easy to grow. 6. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To advocate growing potted plants. B. To sing the praise of Nana’s spirit and love. C. To stress the benefits of a positive lifestyle. D. To recall beautiful memories spent with Nana. 7. What’s the type of the passage? A. A non-fiction. B. A book review. C. An agricultural leaflet. D. A celebrity biography. C Extremely authentic-looking prosthetic (假体的) eyes can now be 3D-printed in a fraction of the time it would normally take to produce the eyes by hand, scientists demonstrate in a new study. The new technology can create a prosthetic eye in just 90 minutes, compared with the eight hours it would normally take a skilled technician, or ocularist, to produce one by hand. The 3D-printed eyes require five times less labor to make than traditional methods, the scientists behind the technology wrote in a new paper published in the journal Nature Communications. The 3D-printed eyes also look more natural than traditional prostheses; this could help improve a patient’s self-confidence in using the devices. “Patients are very conscious about wearing a prosthesis, and they don't want others to notice,” Johann Reinhard, lead study author and a researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Germany, told us. “With these more realistic eves, it might help them to participate more in society,” he said. The new printing approach involves taking a specialized image of a patient’s empty eye socket and of their healthy eye. These images are then processed and used to draft blueprints that can be sent to be 3D-printed in the lab. These 3D-printed eyes closely replicate the color, size and structure of the patient's healthy eye and are particularly good at capturing the colored part of the eye, known as the iris, and the white part of the eye, called the sclera. Once finished, the eyes take 15 to 30 minutes to be installed by an ocularist, Reinhard said. “About 80% of adults in need of prosthetic eyes could theoretically have one made this way, either due to a birth defect that causes an eye to be small or missing or because they’ve lost an eye,” the team said. “However, this wouldn’t be possible for all patients, such as those who have a very complex eye socket, as the software wouldn’t be able to find a matching shape for the prosthetic eye,” Reinhard said. “More data are needed to see if this technique could also be used to make prosthetic eyes for children,which would require more regulation,” Reinhard said. 8. Which of the following words can be best used to describe the 3D-printed eyes? A. Eco-friendly. B. Time-consuming. C. Fit-of-all. D. Realistic-looking. 9. How does the author develop his idea mainly in Paragraph 2? A. By justifying an idea. B. By giving examples. C. By providing evidence. D. By making a comparison. 10. Which statement is true about a 3D-printed eye? A. The patients prefer to show off their prosthetic eyes. B. Every adult in need of a prosthetic eye can’t possibly have one. C. It normally takes a skilled technician, or ocularist, to produce one. D. The installment of one is 5 times faster than a traditional prosthetic eye. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. 3D-printed Eyes——a Better Alternative B. 3D Printing—a Promising Technology C. 3D-printed Eyes—a Source of Confidence D. Prosthetic Eyes—the Hope for all Blind People D Recent experiments by psychologists at the University of Pittsburgh shed new light on how we learn and how we remember our real-world experiences. The research, described in the March 12, 2024 online edition of proceedings of the National Academy of Science, suggests that varying what we study and spacing out our learning over time can both be helpful for memory. “Lots of prior research has shown that learning and memory benefit from spacing study sessions out,” said Benjamin, a director of the Causal Learning and Decision-Making Lab at Pitt. “For example, if you cram the night before a test, you might remember the information the next day for the test, but you will probably forget it fairly soon,” he added. “In contrast, if you study the material on different days leading up to the test, you will be more likely to recall it for a longer period of time.” But “spacing effect” has been based on the idea that what you are trying to learn repeats identically each time. Yet that is rarely the case in real life, when some features of our experience s may stay the same,but others are likely to change. For example, imagine repeat trips to your local coffee shop. While many features may stay the same on each visit, a new barista (咖啡师) may be serving you. How does the spacing effect work in light of such variation across experiences? In two experiments, researchers asked participants to repeatedly study pairs of items and scenes that were either identical on each repetition or in which the item stayed the same but the scene changed each time. Researchers found that spaced learning benefited item memory. But they also found that memory was better for the items that had been paired with different scenes compared with those shown with the same scene each time. “It is hard to provide clear advice for things like studying for a test because the sort of material can be so different,” Benjamin said. “But in theory our findings should be broadly relevant to different sorts of tasks, like remembering someone’s name and things about them and learning new vocabulary in a foreign language.” 12. In what way is “spacing effect” challenged in reality? A. The lack of sufficient learning time. B. The misuse of the memory technique. C. The repetition of the learning process. D. The variability of real-life experiences. 13. Which behavior is least likely to contribute to long-term memory? A. Integrating spaced repetition into learning. B. Studying intensively the night before a test. C. Linking new information with different tasks. D. Learning materials against various backgrounds. 14. What will Benjamin suggest readers do to remember a new person's name? A. Use the name in conversations shortly after meeting them. B. Repeat the name by associating it with different information. C. Practice item memory to create a mental image with the person. D. Engage in active listening when they are introducing themselves. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The impact of constant spaced study. B The study of various and self-paced learning. C. The role of varied learning and spaced study. D. The significance of repeated learning sessions. 第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分 12.5分) 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。 In our fast-paced world, where speed and instant results often steal the spotlight, there’s a quiet but great virtue that often goes unnoticed—the courage to go slow. It may sound abnormal, but instead of rushing to implement (实施), we need to slow down. This is particularly relevant when we start the journey of developing instructional strategies. ___16___ Start, add and abandon habits. Understand that habit formation takes time and requires testing, reflecting, and adapting. Set systems that focus you and your team and organization on the implementation and impact on a few key practices. ___17___ Push consistency over intensity. Focus on maintaining consistent effort rather than pushing for rapid, unsustainable changes. ___18___ This occurs because the lasting habits that are selected are implemented every day and reflected upon routinely. ___19___ Celebrate each little victory along the way. These moments of success, no matter how minor, are the building blocks of lasting change. Seek support. Surround yourself with individuals who support your journey and value the importance of patience. Lean on their encouragement during challenging times. Admittedly, it takes courage to welcome the wisdom of going slow in this competitive world. ___20___ Taking it slow with patience enables individuals to travel along this journey with determination, as can be illustrated by the well-known story of the tortoise and the hare. A. Ask for suggestions. B. Applaud small wins. C. It’s the slow and steady progress that leads to lasting habits. D. As we slow down, patience becomes our greatest companion. E. Protect these few practices by giving up other unsuitable ones. F. However, is it right for us common people to do so in such a way？ G. The question then is, how do we go slow and develop and sustain a new habit？ 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was Christmas Day.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes…but I don’t have money on me,” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.“What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered Mother’s familiar face and weathered (沧桑的) hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5.

And around the house so many flowers were planted. It was so beautiful there in the spring and summer. That wasn’t all, though. On the back porch(门廊) Nana had dozens of potted plants hanging on hooks. She watered them, talked to them and grew them. And in the winter she would carry them all inside and set them on shelves near the windows of our enclosed front porch. There with a little water and a lot of love she kept them alive, green, and growing even during the coldest, darkest months. As a boy I was puzzled by all the effort she put into them. I understood the vegetable gardens. They helped to feed the family all winter long. I even understood the flowers around the house. They were pretty and smelled so sweet in the summer months. The reason she put so much effort into caring for those potted plants, however, eluded me. They didn’t give us any food and they rarely had any flowers on them. They remained a mystery to my child’s mind. Now as I’ve grown older I am beginning to understand why my Nana had those potted plants. It is the same reason I have so many pictures of sunrises and forests hanging in my home. They remind me during the dark, cold, winter months full of bare trees and yellow grass that light, love, and growth still exist. They remind me that Spring will come again. They remind me that God loves us and is still with us even when the earth doesn’t show it. Today I see Nana’s potted plants in a new light. They are worth every bit of the love and care she put into them. But what tells me most about light and love is Nana herself. She is light to my soul even in my darkest times. And her love lives on in my heart even if she is in Heaven. May we all learn to love as she loved, shine as she shined, and live as she lived. 4. Which of the following is close in meaning to the underlined word “eluded” in paragraph 2? A. Upset. B. Misguided. C. Confused. D. Excited. 5. Why was Nana fond of potted plants? A. They were a sign of hope. B. They looked like sunrise and forests. C. They constantly kept Nana company. D. They were movable and easy to grow. 6. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To advocate growing potted plants. B. To sing the praise of Nana’s spirit and love. C. To stress the benefits of a positive lifestyle. D. To recall beautiful memories spent with Nana. 7. What’s the type of the passage? A. A non-fiction. B. A book review. C. An agricultural leaflet. D. A celebrity biography. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候不理解奶奶为什么喜欢盆栽，随着年龄的增长，作者明白了盆栽是希望的象征。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“The reason she put so much effort into caring for those potted plants, however, eluded me. (然而，她花这么多精力照顾那些盆栽植物的原因，却eluded我。)”和划线词后文“They didn’t give us any food and they rarely had any flowers on them. They remained a mystery to my child’s mind. (它们没有给我们任何食物，而且它们也很少开花。它们对我孩子来说仍然是个谜。)”可知，作者对于Nana费心照顾这些盆栽感到困惑，因为作者认为它们没有贡献任何食物，而且也很少开花。故划线词意思是“使困惑”，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Now as I’ve grown older I am beginning to understand why my Nana had those potted plants.

The new technology can create a prosthetic eye in just 90 minutes, compared with the eight hours it would normally take a skilled technician, or ocularist, to produce one by hand. The 3D-printed eyes require five times less labor to make than traditional methods, the scientists behind the technology wrote in a new paper published in the journal Nature Communications. The 3D-printed eyes also look more natural than traditional prostheses; this could help improve a patient’s self-confidence in using the devices. “Patients are very conscious about wearing a prosthesis, and they don't want others to notice,” Johann Reinhard, lead study author and a researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Germany, told us. “With these more realistic eves, it might help them to participate more in society,” he said. The new printing approach involves taking a specialized image of a patient’s empty eye socket and of their healthy eye. These images are then processed and used to draft blueprints that can be sent to be 3D-printed in the lab. These 3D-printed eyes closely replicate the color, size and structure of the patient's healthy eye and are particularly good at capturing the colored part of the eye, known as the iris, and the white part of the eye, called the sclera. Once finished, the eyes take 15 to 30 minutes to be installed by an ocularist, Reinhard said. “About 80% of adults in need of prosthetic eyes could theoretically have one made this way, either due to a birth defect that causes an eye to be small or missing or because they’ve lost an eye,” the team said. “However, this wouldn’t be possible for all patients, such as those who have a very complex eye socket, as the software wouldn’t be able to find a matching shape for the prosthetic eye,” Reinhard said. “More data are needed to see if this technique could also be used to make prosthetic eyes for children,which would require more regulation,” Reinhard said. 8. Which of the following words can be best used to describe the 3D-printed eyes? A. Eco-friendly. B. Time-consuming. C. Fit-of-all. D. Realistic-looking. 9. How does the author develop his idea mainly in Paragraph 2? A. By justifying an idea. B. By giving examples. C. By providing evidence. D. By making a comparison. 10. Which statement is true about a 3D-printed eye? A. The patients prefer to show off their prosthetic eyes. B. Every adult in need of a prosthetic eye can’t possibly have one. C. It normally takes a skilled technician, or ocularist, to produce one. D. The installment of one is 5 times faster than a traditional prosthetic eye. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. 3D-printed Eyes——a Better Alternative B. 3D Printing—a Promising Technology C. 3D-printed Eyes—a Source of Confidence D. Prosthetic Eyes—the Hope for all Blind People 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了通过 3D打印技术制作假眼比传统手工制作更节省成本而且自然逼真，对于有需要的人来说是更好的选择。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Extremely authentic-looking prosthetic eyes can now be 3D-printed in a fraction of the time it would normally take to produce the eyes by hand, scientists demonstrate in a new study.(科学家在一项新研究中证明，现在可以用3D打印技术制作出非常逼真的假眼，而其所用时间仅为手工制作假眼所需的时间的一小部分。)”可知，3D打印技术制作出的假眼是很逼真的。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“The new technology can create a prosthetic eye in just 90 minutes, compared with the eight hours it would normally take a skilled technician, or ocularist, to produce one by hand.

The research, described in the March 12, 2024 online edition of proceedings of the National Academy of Science, suggests that varying what we study and spacing out our learning over time can both be helpful for memory. “Lots of prior research has shown that learning and memory benefit from spacing study sessions out,” said Benjamin, a director of the Causal Learning and Decision-Making Lab at Pitt. “For example, if you cram the night before a test, you might remember the information the next day for the test, but you will probably forget it fairly soon,” he added. “In contrast, if you study the material on different days leading up to the test, you will be more likely to recall it for a longer period of time.” But “spacing effect” has been based on the idea that what you are trying to learn repeats identically each time. Yet that is rarely the case in real life, when some features of our experience s may stay the same,but others are likely to change. For example, imagine repeat trips to your local coffee shop. While many features may stay the same on each visit, a new barista (咖啡师) may be serving you. How does the spacing effect work in light of such variation across experiences? In two experiments, researchers asked participants to repeatedly study pairs of items and scenes that were either identical on each repetition or in which the item stayed the same but the scene changed each time. Researchers found that spaced learning benefited item memory. But they also found that memory was better for the items that had been paired with different scenes compared with those shown with the same scene each time. “It is hard to provide clear advice for things like studying for a test because the sort of material can be so different,” Benjamin said. “But in theory our findings should be broadly relevant to different sorts of tasks, like remembering someone’s name and things about them and learning new vocabulary in a foreign language.” 12. In what way is “spacing effect” challenged in reality? A. The lack of sufficient learning time. B. The misuse of the memory technique. C. The repetition of the learning process. D. The variability of real-life experiences. 13. Which behavior is least likely to contribute to long-term memory? A. Integrating spaced repetition into learning. B. Studying intensively the night before a test. C. Linking new information with different tasks. D. Learning materials against various backgrounds. 14. What will Benjamin suggest readers do to remember a new person's name? A. Use the name in conversations shortly after meeting them. B. Repeat the name by associating it with different information. C. Practice item memory to create a mental image with the person. D. Engage in active listening when they are introducing themselves. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The impact of constant spaced study. B. The study of various and self-paced learning. C. The role of varied learning and spaced study. D. The significance of repeated learning sessions. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了多样化学习和间隔学习的作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But “spacing effect” has been based on the idea that what you are trying to learn repeats identically each time. Yet that is rarely the case in real life, when some features of our experience s may stay the same, but others are likely to change.”（但“间隔效应”是基于这样一种观点，即你每次都试图学习相同的内容。然而，在现实生活中很少会出现这种情况，我们经历的某些特征可能保持不变，但其他特征可能会发生变化）可知，“间距效应”在现实中因现实生活经验的可变性而受到挑战。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For example, if you cram the night before a test, you might remember the information the next day for the test, but you will probably forget it fairly soon”（例如，如果你在考试前一天晚上临时抱佛脚，你可能会在第二天记住考试的信息，但很快就会忘记）可知，.考试前一天晚上集中学习对长期记忆的贡献最小。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But in theory our findings should be broadly relevant to different sorts of tasks, like remembering someone’s name and things about them and learning new vocabulary in a foreign language”（但从理论上讲，我们的发现应该与不同类型的任务广泛相关，比如记住某人的名字和他们的事情，以及学习外语的新词汇）可知，本杰明建议读者通过将名称与不同信息关联来重复该名字。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The research, described in the March 12,2024 online edition of proceedings of the National Academy of Science, suggests that varying what we study and spacing out our learning over time can both be helpful for memory.”（这项研究发表在2024年3月12日的《美国国家科学院院刊》网络版上，研究表明，随着时间的推移，改变我们学习的内容和间隔学习时间都对记忆力有帮助。）以及下文的叙述可知，短文介绍了多样化学习和间隔学习的作用。故选C项。 第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分 12.5分) 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。 In our fast-paced world, where speed and instant results often steal the spotlight, there’s a quiet but great virtue that often goes unnoticed—the courage to go slow. It may sound abnormal, but instead of rushing to implement (实施), we need to slow down. This is particularly relevant when we start the journey of developing instructional strategies. ___16___ Start, add and abandon habits. Understand that habit formation takes time and requires testing, reflecting, and adapting. Set systems that focus you and your team and organization on the implementation and impact on a few key practices. ___17___ Push consistency over intensity. Focus on maintaining consistent effort rather than pushing for rapid, unsustainable changes. ___18___ This occurs because the lasting habits that are selected are implemented every day and reflected upon routinely. ___19___ Celebrate each little victory along the way. These moments of success, no matter how minor, are the building blocks of lasting change. Seek support. Surround yourself with individuals who support your journey and value the importance of patience. Lean on their encouragement during challenging times. Admittedly, it takes courage to welcome the wisdom of going slow in this competitive world. ___20___ Taking it slow with patience enables individuals to travel along this journey with determination, as can be illustrated by the well-known story of the tortoise and the hare. A. Ask for suggestions. B. Applaud small wins. C. It’s the slow and steady progress that leads to lasting habits. D. As we slow down, patience becomes our greatest companion. E Protect these few practices by giving up other unsuitable ones. F. However, is it right for us common people to do so in such a way？ G. The question then is, how do we go slow and develop and sustain a new habit？ 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. C 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文倡导在快节奏的世界中要有勇气慢下来，尤其是在制定教学策略等重要任务时，强调慢速、持久和不断调整改进的重要性。文章同时给出如何在快节奏的世界中放慢速度。 【16题详解】 上文“It may sound abnormal, but instead of rushing to implement (实施), we need to slow down. This is particularly relevant when we start the journey of developing instructional strategies.(这听起来可能不正常，但我们需要放慢速度，而不是急于实施。当我们开始制定教学策略的旅程时，这一点尤其重要)”说明在快节奏的世界，我们在做事情时需要放慢速度。空处呈上启下，G项中的“how do we go slow and develop and sustain a new habit”和上文中的“we need to slow down”相呼应，并引出下文中的方法。所以G项“那么问题来了，我们如何慢慢来，养成并保持一个新习惯呢”符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 本段的主旨句“Start, add and abandon habits.(开始、增加和放弃习惯)”以及上文“Set systems that focus you and your team and organization on the implementation and impact on a few key practices.(设置使您和您的团队以及组织关注一些关键实践的实施和影响的系统)”说明习惯的养成需要时间和不断的调整，在这个过程中，需要关注一些关键习惯的实施和影响，放弃那些不关键的习惯。空处总结前文，E项中的“Protect these few practices”上文中的“a few key practices”相呼应，“giving up other unsuitable ones”和主旨句中的“abandon habits”相呼应，说明通过放弃其他不合适的做法来保护这些少数做法。故选E。 【18题详解】 上文“Focus on maintaining consistent effort rather than pushing for rapid, unsustainable changes.(专注于保持一致的努力，而不是推动快速、不可持续的改变)”说明我们需要保持一致的努力，不能关注快速的，不可持续的改变。空处顺接上文，说明需要保持一致的努力的原因，并且同时引出下文。C项中“正是缓慢而稳定的进步导致了持久的习惯。”符合语境，该项中的lasting habits在下文中得到了复现。故选C。 【19题详解】 下文“Celebrate each little victory along the way. These moments of success, no matter how minor, are the building blocks of lasting change.(庆祝一路上的每一个小小胜利。这些成功的时刻，无论多么微小，都是持久变革的基石)”说明我们需要庆祝一路上的每一个小小的胜利。B项“为每一个小小的胜利鼓掌”适合作本段的主旨句，统领全段。故选B。 【20题详解】 上文“Admittedly, it takes courage to welcome the wisdom of going slow in this competitive world.(诚然，在这个竞争激烈的世界里，欢迎放慢脚步的智慧需要勇气)”说明在竞争激烈的世界，我们需要放慢脚步的智慧和勇气。空处呈上启下，D项中的“As we slow down”和上文中的“going slow in this competitive world”相呼应，“patience becomes our greatest companion”和下文中的“Taking it slow with patience”相呼应，说明当我们放慢脚步时，耐心是我们最伟大的陪伴。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was Christmas Day.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes…but I don’t have money on me,” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.“What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered Mother’s familiar face and weathered (沧桑的) hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where could my mother be?” she wondered. “Was she still angry with me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks. A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her back gently. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了珍妮与母亲吵架而离家出走，在感到饥饿而没钱吃饭的时候，一个商贩给了她一碗面条，珍妮非常感动，觉得自己母亲非常的无情不关心她，而商贩的话让珍妮觉得自己对母亲太粗鲁了，于是下定决心回家向母亲道歉的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“快到门口时，珍妮深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写Jenny回家后心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“她的头发被轻轻地碰了一下，她的思绪又回来了。”可知，第二段可描写Jenny给妈妈道歉，母女俩和好的过程。 2.续写线索：感到疲惫和伤心——想起争吵的场景——意识到妈妈在乎自己——感到惭愧——看见妈妈——扑进妈妈怀里——道歉和感谢——妈妈原谅Jenny 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现在脑海：appear in one’s mind/come to one’s mind ②流下：roll down/stream down ③意识到：realize/be aware of ④表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①难过的：sad/upset ②感谢：thank/appreciate ③疲惫的：tired/exhausted 【点睛】[高分句型1] When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. (运用了when引导时间状语从句，省略了that的宾语从句) [高分句型2]  Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
