With its natural beauty, the region has always inspired nature and hiking enthusiasts (爱好者) and was therefore announced the first national park in Croatia in as early as 1949.

Saxon Switzerland National Park, Germany
If you want to go hiking in European mountains, Saxon Switzerland might also be a great choice for your trip.

27-year-old Alexandra Knox, from Newcastle, moved in with Florence Smith after starting a master’s degree. Having quite possibly the largest age gap (差距) of any housemates in the UK, the pair say they hit it off and have a great time living together. They watch afternoon TV together, chat over a cup of tea, and do some of the cleaning together — “It’s no different from living with university students,” said Alexandra.
Florence has lived in the London home for over 50 years. Having retired from her job at the age of 70, and with her family living far away, she was left on her own. To avoid feeling lonely, she signed up for house sharing with Homeshare, the charity which paired her with Alexandra.
“Sharing your home is a great idea. Loneliness is horrible. Having someone else in the home makes a big difference. You don’t have to worry about falling over or hurting yourself. And more importantly, it’s lovely to have somebody to talk to during the day,” Florence said.
Florence added, “I was already 67 years old when my housemate was born, and when I told my friends about it, they thought it was strange. But the more they find out about it, the more they think it’s a very good idea.”
Alexandra said she was originally frightened by the idea of moving to London and living with an older person, but she thinks it has made her experience in the capital much better and has been a great way to cover sky-high rental costs. “It just didn’t seem like the normal thing to do, living with an older person,” she explained. “But now it’s like being with an old family friend. It gives me somewhere homely to come back to in the evening, which is great.”
24. What does the underlined part “hit it off ” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Have quarrels. B. Get along well.
C. Be bored. D. Get used to new environments.
25. Why does Florence share her flat?
A. To support students. B. To cut down on living costs.
C. To get someone to do housework. D. To have someone’s company.
26. What is Florence’s friends attitude to the housemates — Florence and Alexandra?
A. Unclear. B. Disapproved. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
27. What was Alexandra afraid of at first?
A. The study pressure of her master’s degree. B. Living with an old woman in London.
C. The high rental costs in London. D. Being away from her family.
C
Australia officially listed koalas across its eastern coast as “endangered” on Friday. Conservationists (自然环境保护者) said koala populations had crashed in much of eastern Australia over the past two decades, warning that they were now sliding towards extinction.
The koala, a globally recognized symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife, had been listed as “vulnerable (易危)” on the eastern coast just a decade earlier. “We are taking unprecedented (史无前例的) action to protect the koala,” the Minister of Environment, Sussan Ley said, highlighting a recent government promise of Aus$50 million to protect and recover koala habitats.
Environmentalists welcomed the koalas’ new status (地位) but blamed Australia’s failure to protect the species so far. “Koalas have gone from no-listing to vulnerable to endangered within a decade. That is a shockingly fast decline,” said WWF-Australia conservation scientist Stuart Blanch. “Today’s decision is welcome, but it won’t stop koalas from sliding towards extinction unless it’s accompanied by stronger laws to protect their forest homes.”
Alexia Wellbelove of the Humane Society International said east coast koalas could be extinct by 2050 if no action was taken. “We can’t afford any more clearing,” she said. “The extinction of koalas does not have to happen,” she added, “we must stop allowing their homes to be cleared for mines, new houses, agricultural projects and industrial logging (伐木).”
Australia’s koalas had been living on a “knife edge” even before the “Black Summer” bushfires of 2019-2020 because of land-clearing, drought, disease, car strikes and dog attacks, said Josey Sharrad, wildlife campaign manager at the International Fund for Animal Welfare. “We should never have allowed things to get to the point where we are at risk of losing a national icon (象征),” Sharrad said, “The bushfires were the final straw. This must be a wake-up call to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect critical habitat from development and land-clearing, and seriously deal with the influences of climate change.”
28. What is the problem mentioned in Para 1?
A. Koala populations have increased quickly.
B. Koalas enjoy too much popularity in Australia.
C. Koalas get crushed by other animals.
D. Koalas are at risk of extinction.
29. Why did environmentalists welcome the koala’s new status?
A. This would stop koalas from extinction.
B. They could blame the government’s failure.
C. This could lead to stronger action to protect koalas.
D. They may have time to recover koala habitats.
30. How does the author prove his idea?
A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing figures.
C. By doing a survey. D. By quoting environmentalists’ words.
31. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To call on people to protect Koala. B. To show the causes of Koalas’ disappearance.
C. To show Koalas’ important statue. D. To present environmentalists’ words.
D
Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed (超出) just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely following your content instructions (指令).
Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.
Apart from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate (准确的) subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by.
However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated (复杂的) scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently.
Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals.
32. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3?
A. Sora’s strengths. B. Sora’s weaknesses.
C. Sora’s development. D. Sora’s popularity.
33. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 4?
A. To show Sora’s safety problems. B. To show Sora’s existing weaknesses.
C. To show Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch.
34. What can we know about Sora up to now?
A. It has experienced testing and improvement.
B. It has enjoyed great popularity.
C. It has made random attacks.
D. It has been applied in various industries.
35. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Sora: A perfect text-to-video AI model B. Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT
C. Sora: Known as a spacetime patch D. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Mitzvah
Mitzvah is a word my grandmother often said to me since my childhood. It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. But according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently.
It was three months ago, and I'd just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York, Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I'd said I could manage. Letting them help did not fit my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted(编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don't you see if you can find a lift?” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don't know my neighbours; I feel funny asking for favours. Pride(自尊心) would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbours at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key.
Result? An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hou journey. When I sneaked into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car, Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness(固执).
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs.

W: Of course. The limit is ten per day. But I’ll need to see your student ID please.
M: Here you are.
W: Uh oh! You can’t borrow any books. According to the computer, there was a book ... It was borrowed under your name and still hasn’t been returned. That makes it three weeks overdue.
M: Oh no! I lent it to a friend. She must have forgotten to return it to me, and I forgot all about returning it to you.
W: Well, the computer will not allow me to lend you any other books until that one is returned and the fine is paid.
M: What can I do now? I need these books to begin researching a paper I have to write.
W: You could get a friend to borrow them for you. Or, there’s a copy machine right over there. Why not just copy the sections you need right away?
M: That would cost me more than the fine.

【解析】
【原文】M: Good afternoon, I want to thank Professor Johnson for giving me the chance to talk to you today about Alaska. One of the things that concern me most is the future of the Alaska environment. About twenty years ago, before going on some wilderness research, I visited Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska. It was a small city of 40,000 people surrounded by a quiet wilderness. When I made a recent trip there, I found amazing changes. Anchorage now has a hundred and eight thousand people. There’re tall buildings, shopping centers and all the crowds and traffic jams. The forests and mountains are still nearby, but they seem so small compared to the city’s great size. The discovery of oil in Alaska brought increased wealth to the state. However, there have been too many people moving to Alaska in a very short period to work on the pipeline. There is not enough housing or transportation.
I think Alaska must make important decisions soon. Alaskans need to decide how to develop their natural resources and mineral wealth without destroying the wilderness and harming the wildlife. What is decided on now will affect the generations to come. For today’s lecture, I’ve brought along many of the pictures I usually show in my environmental science classes in my own university. First, I’ll show you some pictures of Alaska’s wilderness as it is today. Then I’d like to outline my specific suggestions.

27-year-old Alexandra Knox, from Newcastle, moved in with Florence Smith after starting a master’s degree. Having quite possibly the largest age gap (差距) of any housemates in the UK, the pair say they hit it off and have a great time living together. They watch afternoon TV together, chat over a cup of tea, and do some of the cleaning together — “It’s no different from living with university students,” said Alexandra.
Florence has lived in the London home for over 50 years. Having retired from her job at the age of 70, and with her family living far away, she was left on her own. To avoid feeling lonely, she signed up for house sharing with Homeshare, the charity which paired her with Alexandra.
“Sharing your home is a great idea. Loneliness is horrible. Having someone else in the home makes a big difference. You don’t have to worry about falling over or hurting yourself. And more importantly, it’s lovely to have somebody to talk to during the day,” Florence said.
Florence added, “I was already 67 years old when my housemate was born, and when I told my friends about it, they thought it was strange. But the more they find out about it, the more they think it’s a very good idea.”
Alexandra said she was originally frightened by the idea of moving to London and living with an older person, but she thinks it has made her experience in the capital much better and has been a great way to cover sky-high rental costs. “It just didn’t seem like the normal thing to do, living with an older person,” she explained. “But now it’s like being with an old family friend. It gives me somewhere homely to come back to in the evening, which is great.”
24. What does the underlined part “hit it off ” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Have quarrels. B. Get along well.
C. Be bored. D. Get used to new environments.
25. Why does Florence share her flat?
A. To support students. B. To cut down on living costs.
C. To get someone to do housework. D. To have someone’s company.
26. What is Florence’s friends attitude to the housemates — Florence and Alexandra?
A. Unclear. B. Disapproved. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
27. What was Alexandra afraid of at first?
A. The study pressure of her master’s degree. B. Living with an old woman in London.
C. The high rental costs in London. D. Being away from her family.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了27岁的Alexandra Knox和年长的Florence Smith同住一屋的故事。
【24题详解】

Australia officially listed koalas across its eastern coast as “endangered” on Friday. Conservationists (自然环境保护者) said koala populations had crashed in much of eastern Australia over the past two decades, warning that they were now sliding towards extinction.
The koala, a globally recognized symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife, had been listed as “vulnerable (易危)” on the eastern coast just a decade earlier. “We are taking unprecedented (史无前例的) action to protect the koala,” the Minister of Environment, Sussan Ley said, highlighting a recent government promise of Aus$50 million to protect and recover koala habitats.
Environmentalists welcomed the koalas’ new status (地位) but blamed Australia’s failure to protect the species so far. “Koalas have gone from no-listing to vulnerable to endangered within a decade. That is a shockingly fast decline,” said WWF-Australia conservation scientist Stuart Blanch. “Today’s decision is welcome, but it won’t stop koalas from sliding towards extinction unless it’s accompanied by stronger laws to protect their forest homes.”
Alexia Wellbelove of the Humane Society International said east coast koalas could be extinct by 2050 if no action was taken. “We can’t afford any more clearing,” she said. “The extinction of koalas does not have to happen,” she added, “we must stop allowing their homes to be cleared for mines, new houses, agricultural projects and industrial logging (伐木).”
Australia’s koalas had been living on a “knife edge” even before the “Black Summer” bushfires of 2019-2020 because of land-clearing, drought, disease, car strikes and dog attacks, said Josey Sharrad, wildlife campaign manager at the International Fund for Animal Welfare. “We should never have allowed things to get to the point where we are at risk of losing a national icon (象征),” Sharrad said, “The bushfires were the final straw. This must be a wake-up call to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect critical habitat from development and land-clearing, and seriously deal with the influences of climate change.”
28. What is the problem mentioned in Para 1?
A. Koala populations have increased quickly.
B. Koalas enjoy too much popularity in Australia.
C. Koalas get crushed by other animals.
D. Koalas are at risk of extinction.
29. Why did environmentalists welcome the koala’s new status?
A. This would stop koalas from extinction.
B. They could blame the government’s failure.
C This could lead to stronger action to protect koalas.
D. They may have time to recover koala habitats.
30. How does the author prove his idea?
A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing figures.
C. By doing a survey. D. By quoting environmentalists’ words.
31. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To call on people to protect Koala. B. To show the causes of Koalas’ disappearance.
C. To show Koalas’ important statue. D. To present environmentalists’ words.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述澳大利亚将考拉列为濒危物种,并分析原因,呼吁尽快采取措施。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Conservationists said koala populations had crashed in much of eastern Australia over the past two decades, warning that they were now sliding towards extinction.”(自然环境保护者说,过去二十年里,考拉数量在澳大利亚东部大部分地区急剧下降,警告说它们现在正走向灭绝。)可知,考拉正面临灭绝的风险。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“ Environmentalists welcomed the koalas’ new status (地位) but blamed Australia’s failure to protect the species so far. “Koalas have gone from no-listing to vulnerable to endangered within a decade. That is a shockingly fast decline,” said WWF-Australia conservation scientist Stuart Blanch. “Today’s decision is welcome, but it won’t stop koalas from sliding towards extinction unless it’s accompanied by stronger laws to protect their forest homes.””(环境保护主义者欢迎考拉的新地位,但指责澳大利亚迄今未能保护这一物种。“考拉在十年内从未列入名单到易危再到濒危。这是一个令人震惊的快速下降,”世界自然基金会澳大利亚保护科学家Stuart Blanch说。“今天的决定是受欢迎的,但除非有更强有力的法律来保护它们的森林家园,否则它不会阻止考拉走向灭绝。”)可知,环境保护主义者欢迎考拉的新地位是因为这可能会导致更强有力的行动来保护考拉。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““Koalas have gone from no-listing to vulnerable to endangered within a decade. That is a shockingly fast decline,” said WWF-Australia conservation scientist Stuart Blanch. “Today’s decision is welcome, but it won’t stop koalas from sliding towards extinction unless it’s accompanied by stronger laws to protect their forest homes.””(“考拉在十年内从未被列入名单到脆弱到濒临灭绝。这是一个令人震惊的快速下降,”世界自然基金会澳大利亚保护科学家斯图尔特·布兰奇说。“今天的决定是受欢迎的,但它不会阻止考拉走向灭绝,除非有更强有力的法律来保护它们的森林家园。”)、第四段“Alexia Wellbelove of the Humane Society International said east coast koalas could be extinct by 2050 if no action was taken. “We can’t afford any more clearing,” she said. “The extinction of koalas does not have to happen,” she added, “we must stop allowing their homes to be cleared for mines, new houses, agricultural projects and industrial logging (伐木).””(国际人道协会的亚历克西娅·韦洛夫说,如果不采取行动,东海岸的考拉可能会在2050年灭绝。“我们负担不起更多的空地了,”她说。“考拉的灭绝是可以避免的,”她补充说,“我们必须停止允许它们的家园被用于采矿、新建房屋、农业项目和工业伐木。”)可知,作者通过引用环境保护主义者的话来证明他的观点。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This must be a wake-up call to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect critical habitat from development and land-clearing, and seriously deal with the influences of climate change.”(这必须是对澳大利亚和政府的警钟,要求他们加快行动,保护关键栖息地免受开发和土地清理的影响,并认真应对气候变化的影响。)结合全文内容可知,文章主要讲述澳大利亚将考拉列为濒危物种,并分析原因,呼吁尽快采取措施。所以本文的目的是呼吁人们保护考拉。故选A。
D
Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed (超出) just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely following your content instructions (指令).
Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.
Apart from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate (准确的) subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by.
However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated (复杂的) scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently.
Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals.
32. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3?
A. Sora’s strengths. B. Sora’s weaknesses.
C. Sora’s development. D. Sora’s popularity.
33. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 4?
A. To show Sora’s safety problems. B. To show Sora’s existing weaknesses.
C. To show Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch.
34. What can we know about Sora up to now?
A. It has experienced testing and improvement.
B. It has enjoyed great popularity.
C. It has made random attacks.
D. It has been applied in various industries.
35 What’s the best title for the text?
A. Sora: A perfect text-to-video AI model B. Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT
C. Sora: Known as a spacetime patch D. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Sora这一先进AI模型能够根据文本指令生成高质量视频及其特点。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios(屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.(据说Sora比许多其他具有类似功能的现有模型更优秀。该人工智能模型能够为不同的设备创建合适屏幕高宽比的视频。它还允许用户在制作高质量版本之前快速测试较低质量的内容,这有助于根据用户的需求加快产出速度)”及第三段中“Apart from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising.(除此之外,它以逼真流畅的方式呈现视频的能力令人惊讶)”可知,第二段和第三段主要描述了Sora的优点,包括它可以创建适合不同设备的视频、允许用户快速测试低质量版本以及能够生成真实流畅的视频场景等,这两段的重点在于展示Sora的优势。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated(复杂的) scene and might not get how one action leads to another.(然而,当前的模型并不完美。它可能难以准确地展现复杂场景中事物的运动,并且可能无法理解一个动作是如何导致另一个动作的)”及所举例子“For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order.(例如,在由Sora生成的视频中,如果某人吃掉了一部分饼干,饼干可能看起来不像是被咬过的。该模型可能会混淆方向,并且难以按正确的顺序描述事件)”可知,第四段提到的例子是为了说明Sora在处理复杂场景时的一些局限性,比如难以准确表现物体运动或事件顺序等,这个例子是用来展示Sora目前存在的弱点。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals.(Sora仍处于开发测试阶段。OpenAI目前正邀请网络安全专业人士对Sora的系统进行随机攻击,以此来测试该模型可能存在的弱点和风险。Sora也已向一些视觉艺术家、设计师和电影制作人开放。他们的反馈将帮助OpenAI改进模型,以便更好地服务于创意专业人士)”可知,Sora已经经历了测试和改进的过程。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed(超出) just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely following your content instructions(指令).(人工智能模型早已超越了仅创造文本响应和图像的能力。现在,只需一句话,OpenAI的最新文本转视频模型Sora就能将你的文字转化为具有良好视觉质量的视频,并完全遵循你的内容指示)”可知,这篇文章主要介绍了Sora在文本转视频方面的先进功能和技术优势,尽管它还存在一些限制,但它在视频创作领域显示出引领潮流的潜力,D选项“Sora: 引领视频创作”符合文意,最适合作为本文标题。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是:“如果你知道有人在健身房等你,你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴,你将会努力训练,因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知,空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由,故选项应与后文是顺承关系,选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应,选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练,你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先,决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只是想要身体健康,能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知,这里是一个问句,反问自己结伴锻炼的目的,故空处与后文是选择关系,你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗?)”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西,但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼,那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知,寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应,选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼,每周多少天,每次培训要花多少小时,以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动,并提供了她的电话号码)”可知,本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例,说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结,符合语意。故选G项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之,你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量,你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知,要学会求同存异,一起合作,共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”,选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”,故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同,学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用,符合语意。故选F项。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Mitzvah
Mitzvah is a word my grandmother often said to me since my childhood. It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. But according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently.
It was three months ago, and I'd just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York, Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I'd said I could manage. Letting them help did not fit my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted(编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don't you see if you can find a lift?” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don't know my neighbours; I feel funny asking for favours. Pride(自尊心) would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbours at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key.
Result? An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hou journey. When I sneaked into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car, Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness(固执).
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. For an hour, I stretched my neck, praying desperately that a bus would come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me toward home, and I prayed, “how can I get to school? What should I do?” As I pulled Grandma’s scarf more tightly around my neck, again I seemed to hear that whisper: Ask someone for a lift! It could be a mitzvah. That idea had never really made sense to me. And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed, which I did not, there wasn’t a soul on the street.
Paragraph 2:
As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. She was going out with a set of keys in her hand. In that split second, desperation overcame pride. I blurted, “Could you possibly give me a lift?” I hurriedly explained, “I’ve been waiting for the bus for ages, and I don’t want to miss my final exam.” Her expression softened with understanding, “Of course, I’ll give you a lift.” Heaving a sigh of relief, I couldn’t help but marvel at how a simple act of asking for help had changed everything. It was at that moment that I finally understood what “Mitzvah” really meant.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了从小时候起作者的祖母就经常对作者说成人礼这个词,在希伯来语中它的意思是“做一件好事”。但祖母说,它还有另一层意思就是让别人为自己做点什么也是一种祝福,因为她注意到作者很害羞,不愿意让别人帮自己做事,直到最近因为在暴风雪天气中因为不愿意开口求人搭便车导致自己上课迟到时作者才真正明白了奶奶话的意思。又一个暴风雪的天气,作者赶着去参加期末考,一切看似和原来一样但实际已经有了改变。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“期末考试那天,我又冒着大雪走到公共汽车站。”可知,第一段可描写作者像往常一样等公交车,结果等了好长时间车也没有来,这时想到奶奶让自己找人帮忙的话,但那是不可能的,因为路上根本没有人,所以作者决定回家。
②由第二段首句内容“当我推开公寓大楼的门时,我发现自己与楼上的女人面对面。”可知,第二段可描写作者见到楼上女人那一刻时终于绝望战胜骄傲,开口向女人求助,以及求助成功以后自己的感受及对于“成人礼”含义的理解。
2.续写线索:车站等车——等车未果——决定回家——想到奶奶的话打算求助——无人可求——楼梯内偶遇楼上女士——勇于求助——求助成功——欣慰及感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
战胜:overcome/surmount
脱口而出:blurt/ejaculate
变软;软化:soften/tender/alleviate
情绪类
紧紧地:tightly/firmly
匆忙地:hurriedly/hastily
【点睛】【高分句型1】Heaving a sigh of relief, I couldn’t help but marvel at how a simple act of asking for help had changed everything.(运用了现在分词短语作状语和how引导的宾语从句)
【高分句型2】It was at that moment that I finally understood what “Mitzvah” really meant.(运用了强调句型)
