At the “I Am Mbare” community school near Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, over 30 children sat in neat rows in the small schoolyard. Their eyes were wide with curiosity as I unrolled my calligraphy work, displaying the Chinese characters “sheng sheng bu xi” as my encouragement for the kids to grow healthily.
I read the words aloud and explained their meaning. I was touched as the children excitedly tried to imitate (模仿) me, showing their interest in my calligraphy and the Chinese language. The small yard was filled with their enthusiasm.
This happened during a field trip I took from July 1 to 9 as part of the Tsinghua University Global Competency Overseas Practicum Course. The course sent four teams to various countries as part of a summer program in 2024, and I was selected as a member of the team visiting Zimbabwe.
This small-scale, in-depth course wants to help students to have a global vision, facilitating future people-to-people connections.
During my time in Zimbabwe, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my calligraphy talents played a significant role in cultural exchanges. One of the highlights was a forum (论坛) where we engaged in a series of activities with local artists. While my fellow team members sang Welcome to Beijing, I created four calligraphy pieces and presented these pieces on stage at the end of the song, receiving an enthusiastic response.
In addition to my performance at the forum, I devoted time each evening to creating calligraphy tailored for the people we were to visit the next day. My efforts were well-received, as the Zimbabweans’ initial surprise at my calligraphy turned into delight, recognition, and gratitude after I explained the meanings to them. This gave me a sense of achievement and firsthand experience in cultural exchanges.
This experience in Zimbabwe has made me realize the power of art to bridge differences. These valuable connections will stay with me, inspiring me to continue sharing Chinese culture while remaining open to others.
4. How did the author feel about the children’s reaction?
A. Curious. B. Interested. C. Impressed. D. Grateful.
5. What is one aim of the summer course?
A. To develop students’ life skills.
B. To connect with other universities.
C. To help students obtain a global vision.
D. To do voluntary work in poor countries.
6. What greatly helped deepen the relationship between the two countries?
A. Chinese songs. B. Teaching experience.
C. A sense of achievement. D. Chinese calligraphy.
7. What might be the author’s intention to write the text?
A. To share an unforgettable experience.
B. To call on people to care for children.
C. To stress the importance of international help.
D. To introduce a program of Tsinghua University.

In 2019, Coleman started taking online classes in a lesser-known language: Owens Valley Paiute. But it was not easy. Coleman is a member of the Big Pine Paiute Tribe of Owens Valley — and Paiute is his father’s ancestral language.
“My dad didn’t grow up speaking the language — like many families, it was forced out of use by boarding schools where speaking the language was forbidden. And there was no language-based language models (LLMs) to help me. But I’m lucky my great-grandparents sat down with scientists to document the language and to create recordings so I can hear their voices and words,” said Coleman.
ChatGPT and other LLMs exhibit human-level performance on many natural-language tasks in English, because one-fifth of the world speaks English. But Paiute is regarded as a “no-resource language”, meaning there are no publicly available Paiute sentences translated into English on which to train a machine learning model.
In a new paper, Coleman and his professor Krishnamachari propose a machine translation approach called LLM-RBMT (Rule-Based Machine Translation) to help people learn no-resource languages. In their method, the LLM does not translate into or from Owens Valley Paiute. Instead, it gives guidance to the rule-based translators, which rely on grammatical and vocabulary rules to translate between languages.
This method, said Coleman, mirrors how language learners naturally speak by mixing known and unknown words, making it a practical tool for real-world use. LLM’s remarkable general-purpose language skills make them a promising tool in helping revitalize (复兴) critically endangered languages.
Coleman also built and maintains a suite of digital tools related to language revitalization, named Kubishi or “brain” in Paiute, including an online dictionary, and a sentence-builder and translation system enabled by this research. For his part, Coleman credits his tribe’s members, past and present, for paving the path. “A lot of people in my tribe have been working for a long time on different language revitalization efforts, including classes, dictionaries, recordings,” said Coleman.
8 How did Coleman learn Paiute initially?
A. By turning to an LLM.
B. By taking a course at school.
C. By referring to printed documents.
D. By hearing the created recordings.
9. Why did the author mention ChatGPT?
A. To indicate the progress of Al.
B. To show the popularity of English.
C. To recommend a language learning tool.
D. To stress the challenge of developing LLM-RBMT.
10. How does Coleman’s machine translation approach work?
A. It bases its performance on grammar rules.
B. It helps to guide the rule-based translators.
C. It corrects grammar mistakes during translation.
D. It directly translates Paiute into other languages.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly talking about?
A. The cooperation between individuals.
B. Coleman’s talents and learning goals.
C. Coleman’s contributions and gratitude.
D. The main task of language revitalization.
D
We all notice bright colors. People who opt for striking attire (服装) and shiny decorative items, hear everything from, “No one is going to miss you at the party” to, “I would never have the guts to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.
Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma, which means color intensity in a practical way. They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and extraverted (外向的) than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality. Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors enhanced some viewer perception on personalities, but not other traits: such as emotional stability, agreeableness, reliability, responsibility or innovation. These observations are important because some job capitalize on some of the traits (特征) inferred through bright colors.
Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal disposition: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality traits. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service where individuals with outgoing personalities tend to excel. Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.
Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the drawbacks of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality traits differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as varying from social norms in other cultures.
12. What does the underlined word “guts” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Sensitivity. B. Appearance. C. Courage. D. Elegance.
13. Which personalities are believed to relate to people wearing high-chroma colors?
A. Innovation and creation. B. Openness and extraversion.
C. Responsibility and reliability. D. Emotional stability and agreeableness.
14. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. The possible limitation of the research.
B. The explanation of the research methodology.
C. The benefits of high-chroma colors in various jobs
D. The universality of high-chroma colors across cultures.
15. Which of the following can best describe the overall tone of the text?
A. Critical and skeptical. B. Informative and objective.
C. Persuasive and promotional. D. Evaluative and judgmental.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
How to boost your confidence as an introvert (内向的人)
As we all know, many introverts struggle with confidence issues. ____16____. If you are an introvert who wants to build up your confidence, take your note of these four tips.
Avoid comparing yourself with others
You need to leave all comparisons behind if you want to build confidence. Comparing yourself to others is a surefire (万全的) way to stop your progress in its tracks. ____17____. Realise that you are fueled by being alone and understand that there is nothing wrong with that. The sooner you love who you are, the sooner your confidence will develop.
____18____
Part of building confidence is how you convey your thoughts, feelings, and ideas to others. Not everyone will understand the way you express yourself, and that is okay. What is important is that you put in your best effort to express your ideas. If you need help shaping your own ideas, getting your thoughts on paper is a great way to do that.
Take small steps
Brainstorm the small things you can do to build your confidence and feel better about yourself. For instance, you could try to change your vocabulary for a more positive, confident mindset. Or you can start journaling more to get to feel more comfortable and confident about yourself. ____19____.
Remember that you are your own worst critic
____20____. This is a common problem that many people must face and it is important to remember you are not alone. Constantly criticising yourself for making small errors or not showing enough confidence is the easiest way to lose it. If you want to build your confidence level, you need to learn how to forgive yourself for making mistakes and stop self-criticising.
A. Practice clear communication
B. Instead, accept who you are as an introvert
C. Replace positive self-talk with self-criticism
D. That is why clear communication is crucial for introverts
E. As a result, they are held back from various opportunities

G. Just remember: you can’t expect to turn into a confident person overnight

As the cold of winter loosened its hold and spring was approaching, I found myself in the quiet process of recovery. The world outside my window, once full of life, now seemed like a distant, unreachable place. Each day was a repetition of the last, a cycle that mirrored my own struggle to regain my strength and find hope in a future that felt dark and uncertain.
One afternoon, as I sat mindlessly by the window, a flash of movement caught my eye-a swallow (燕子) under the roof. It was a delicate creature, with its elegant wings. For a moment, it seemed to look at me, its eyes bright and curious, as if it recognized a fellow soul.
“A swallow,” I whispered, looking at the lovely creature, whose liveliness formed a contrast with the silence of the room.
The swallow’s daily visits became a comforting rhythm, as steady as the dawn’s arrival. Each time it appeared on that branch, it wasn’t just a sign of spring; it was like a friend. I found myself looking forward to its daily appearances. Its presence became a flicker (闪现) of warmth in my otherwise lifeless days.
One day, the swallow was not alone; it had been joined by a mate. Together, they began the merry work of building a nest under the roof. Inspired by their joyful spirit, I decided it was time for me to take control of my own life. I began to set small, achievable goals, mirroring the swallows' tireless work on their nest.
However, life can be unpredictable. Just when the nest was almost done, a storm blew in out of nowhere, tearing the nest apart. I watched from my window, my heart aching for the swallows and their broken dream.
注意:1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was worried I would never see the beautiful creatures come back.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the swallows’ new nest took shape.

At the “I Am Mbare” community school near Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, over 30 children sat in neat rows in the small schoolyard. Their eyes were wide with curiosity as I unrolled my calligraphy work, displaying the Chinese characters “sheng sheng bu xi” as my encouragement for the kids to grow healthily.
I read the words aloud and explained their meaning. I was touched as the children excitedly tried to imitate (模仿) me, showing their interest in my calligraphy and the Chinese language. The small yard was filled with their enthusiasm.
This happened during a field trip I took from July 1 to 9 as part of the Tsinghua University Global Competency Overseas Practicum Course. The course sent four teams to various countries as part of a summer program in 2024, and I was selected as a member of the team visiting Zimbabwe.
This small-scale, in-depth course wants to help students to have a global vision, facilitating future people-to-people connections.
During my time in Zimbabwe, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my calligraphy talents played a significant role in cultural exchanges. One of the highlights was a forum (论坛) where we engaged in a series of activities with local artists. While my fellow team members sang Welcome to Beijing, I created four calligraphy pieces and presented these pieces on stage at the end of the song, receiving an enthusiastic response.
In addition to my performance at the forum, I devoted time each evening to creating calligraphy tailored for the people we were to visit the next day. My efforts were well-received, as the Zimbabweans’ initial surprise at my calligraphy turned into delight, recognition, and gratitude after I explained the meanings to them. This gave me a sense of achievement and firsthand experience in cultural exchanges.
This experience in Zimbabwe has made me realize the power of art to bridge differences. These valuable connections will stay with me, inspiring me to continue sharing Chinese culture while remaining open to others.

In 2019, Coleman started taking online classes in a lesser-known language: Owens Valley Paiute. But it was not easy. Coleman is a member of the Big Pine Paiute Tribe of Owens Valley — and Paiute is his father’s ancestral language.
“My dad didn’t grow up speaking the language — like many families, it was forced out of use by boarding schools where speaking the language was forbidden. And there was no language-based language models (LLMs) to help me. But I’m lucky my great-grandparents sat down with scientists to document the language and to create recordings so I can hear their voices and words,” said Coleman.
ChatGPT and other LLMs exhibit human-level performance on many natural-language tasks in English, because one-fifth of the world speaks English. But Paiute is regarded as a “no-resource language”, meaning there are no publicly available Paiute sentences translated into English on which to train a machine learning model.
In a new paper, Coleman and his professor Krishnamachari propose a machine translation approach called LLM-RBMT (Rule-Based Machine Translation) to help people learn no-resource languages. In their method, the LLM does not translate into or from Owens Valley Paiute. Instead, it gives guidance to the rule-based translators, which rely on grammatical and vocabulary rules to translate between languages.
This method, said Coleman, mirrors how language learners naturally speak by mixing known and unknown words, making it a practical tool for real-world use. LLM’s remarkable general-purpose language skills make them a promising tool in helping revitalize (复兴) critically endangered languages.
Coleman also built and maintains a suite of digital tools related to language revitalization, named Kubishi or “brain” in Paiute, including an online dictionary, and a sentence-builder and translation system enabled by this research. For his part, Coleman credits his tribe’s members, past and present, for paving the path. “A lot of people in my tribe have been working for a long time on different language revitalization efforts, including classes, dictionaries, recordings,” said Coleman.
8. How did Coleman learn Paiute initially?
A. By turning to an LLM.
B. By taking a course at school.
C. By referring to printed documents.
D. By hearing the created recordings.
9. Why did the author mention ChatGPT?
A. To indicate the progress of Al.
B. To show the popularity of English.
C. To recommend a language learning tool.
D. To stress the challenge of developing LLM-RBMT.
10. How does Coleman’s machine translation approach work?
A. It bases its performance on grammar rules.
B. It helps to guide the rule-based translators.
C. It corrects grammar mistakes during translation.
D. It directly translates Paiute into other languages.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly talking about?
A. The cooperation between individuals.
B. Coleman’s talents and learning goals.
C. Coleman’s contributions and gratitude.
D. The main task of language revitalization.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了Coleman在复兴濒危的Owens Valley Paiute语言方面的努力,他提出了一种被称为LLM-RBMT的机器翻译方法,以保护和推广濒危的语言。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““My dad didn’t grow up speaking the language — like many families, it was forced out of use by boarding schools where speaking the language was forbidden. And there was no language-based language models (LLMs) to help me. But I’m lucky my great-grandparents sat down with scientists to document the language and to create recordings so I can hear their voices and words,” said Coleman.(“我父亲成长时并没有说这种语言——和许多家庭一样,他在寄宿学校被禁止使用这种语言。而且当时也没有基于语言的语言模型 (LLMs) 来帮助我。但我很幸运,我的曾祖父母曾与科学家一起记录这种语言并创建录音,所以我能听到他们的声音和语言,”Coleman说)”可知,Coleman最初是通过听录音学习Paiute这种语言的。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“ChatGPT and other LLMs exhibit human-level performance on many natural-language tasks in English, because one-fifth of the world speaks English. But Paiute is regarded as a “no-resource language”, meaning there are no publicly available Paiute sentences translated into English on which to train a machine learning model.(ChatGPT和其他LLMs在英语等许多自然语言任务中表现出人类水平的性能,因为世界上有五分之一的人说英语。但Paiute被视为一种“无资源语言”,这意味着没有公开可用的Paiute句子翻译成英语,无法在其上训练机器学习模型)”以及第四段“In a new paper, Coleman and his professor Krishnamachari propose a machine translation approach called LLM-RBMT (Rule-Based Machine Translation) to help people learn no-resource languages. In their method, the LLM does not translate into or from Owens Valley Paiute. Instead, it gives guidance to the rule-based translators, which rely on grammatical and vocabulary rules to translate between languages.(在一篇新论文中,Coleman和他的教授Krishnamachari提出了一种名为LLM-RBMT (基于规则的机器翻译) 的机器翻译方法,以帮助人们学习无资源语言。在他们的方法中,LLM并不直接翻译Owens Valley Paiute。相反,它为基于规则的翻译器提供指导,这些翻译器依赖于语法和词汇规则来在不同语言之间进行翻译)”可知,ChatGPT在许多用英语完成的语言任务上表现出了人类一样的水平,而 Paiute 是一种无资源语言,不能翻译成英语来训练机器学习模型。可见,作者提到ChatGPT是为了强调研发LLM-RBMT所面临的挑战。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In their method, the LLM does not translate into or from Owens Valley Paiute. Instead, it gives guidance to the rule-based translators, which rely on grammatical and vocabulary rules to translate between languages.(在他们的方法中,LLM并不直接翻译Owens Valley Paiute。相反,它为基于规则的翻译器提供指导,这些翻译器依赖于语法和词汇规则来在不同语言之间进行翻译)”可知,这种新的机器翻译方法有助于指导基于规则的翻译器。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Coleman also built and maintains a suite of digital tools related to language revitalization, named Kubishi or “brain” in Paiute, including an online dictionary, and a sentence-builder and translation system enabled by this research. For his part, Coleman credits his tribe’s members, past and present, for paving the path. “A lot of people in my tribe have been working for a long time on different language revitalization efforts, including classes, dictionaries, recordings,” said Coleman.(Coleman还构建并维护了一套与语言复兴相关的数字工具,名为Kubishi,在Paiute语中意为“大脑”,其中包括在线词典,以及通过本研究启用的句子构建器和翻译系统。Coleman认为,他所在部落的成员,无论过去还是现在,都为这条路铺平了道路。“我们部落的很多人长期以来一直在努力进行不同的语言复兴工作,包括课程、词典、录音,”Coleman说)”可知,文章最后一段主要介绍了Coleman在恢复濒危语言方面做出的贡献以及他对部落人们的感谢。故选C项。
D
We all notice bright colors. People who opt for striking attire (服装) and shiny decorative items, hear everything from, “No one is going to miss you at the party” to, “I would never have the guts to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.
Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma, which means color intensity in a practical way. They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and extraverted (外向的) than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality. Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors enhanced some viewer perception on personalities, but not other traits: such as emotional stability, agreeableness, reliability, responsibility or innovation. These observations are important because some job capitalize on some of the traits (特征) inferred through bright colors.
Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal disposition: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality traits. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service where individuals with outgoing personalities tend to excel. Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.
Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the drawbacks of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality traits differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as varying from social norms in other cultures.
12. What does the underlined word “guts” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Sensitivity. B. Appearance. C. Courage. D. Elegance.
13. Which personalities are believed to relate to people wearing high-chroma colors?
A. Innovation and creation. B. Openness and extraversion.
C. Responsibility and reliability. D. Emotional stability and agreeableness.
14. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. The possible limitation of the research.
B. The explanation of the research methodology.
C. The benefits of high-chroma colors in various jobs
D. The universality of high-chroma colors across cultures.
15. Which of the following can best describe the overall tone of the text?
A. Critical and skeptical. B. Informative and objective.
C. Persuasive and promotional. D. Evaluative and judgmental.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了穿着鲜艳颜色对第一印象的影响。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“I would never have the…to wear that”(我从来没有……穿那样的衣服)由此可知,这里that指的是穿醒目鲜艳的服装和佩戴闪耀夺目的配饰,由此可知,划线单词“guts”在这里表示敢于做某事的勇气,结合选项C项Courage“勇气”意思一致。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They specifically examined the effect of chroma, which means color intensity in a practical way. They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and extraverted (外向的) than in a low-chroma setting.”(他们专门研究了色度的影响,色度指的是一种实用的色彩强度。他们发现,穿高色度衣服或被高色度颜色包围的目标,无论男性还是女性,都被认为比在低色度环境中更开放和外向。)可知,与穿高色度衣服的人个性特征相关联的是开放性和外向性。故选B项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the drawbacks of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures.”(关于他们研究结果的普遍性,Pazda和Thorstenson指出,他们研究的一个缺点是他们使用了生活在美国的参与者,这意味着他们的研究结果可能无法预测其他文化的结果。)可知,最后一段的重点是研究可能存在的局限性。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章以客观的方式呈现了研究结果,没有表现出明显的批判、说服或评价的语气,因此整体语调是提供信息和客观的。故选B项。

How to boost your confidence as an introvert (内向的人)
As we all know, many introverts struggle with confidence issues. ____16____. If you are an introvert who wants to build up your confidence, take your note of these four tips.
Avoid comparing yourself with others
You need to leave all comparisons behind if you want to build confidence. Comparing yourself to others is a surefire (万全的) way to stop your progress in its tracks. ____17____. Realise that you are fueled by being alone and understand that there is nothing wrong with that. The sooner you love who you are, the sooner your confidence will develop.
____18____
Part of building confidence is how you convey your thoughts, feelings, and ideas to others. Not everyone will understand the way you express yourself, and that is okay. What is important is that you put in your best effort to express your ideas. If you need help shaping your own ideas, getting your thoughts on paper is a great way to do that.
Take small steps
Brainstorm the small things you can do to build your confidence and feel better about yourself. For instance, you could try to change your vocabulary for a more positive, confident mindset. Or you can start journaling more to get to feel more comfortable and confident about yourself. ____19____.
Remember that you are your own worst critic
____20____. This is a common problem that many people must face and it is important to remember you are not alone. Constantly criticising yourself for making small errors or not showing enough confidence is the easiest way to lose it. If you want to build your confidence level, you need to learn how to forgive yourself for making mistakes and stop self-criticising.
A. Practice clear communication
B. Instead, accept who you are as an introvert
C Replace positive self-talk with self-criticism

段落标题句“Take small steps (迈出一小步)”以及上文“Brainstorm the small things you can do to build your confidence and feel better about yourself.(集思广益,想出你能做的小事来建立你的信心,让自己感觉更好)”说明要一步一步完成小事,让自己感觉更好,而不是奢望一下子就变成自信的人,G项“记住:你不能指望一夜之间就变成一个自信的人”承接上文,符合题意。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国第一个跨省的生态修复工程,这是一个真正为未来铺平道路的设计。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这是中国第一个跨省的生态修复项目,一个真正为未来铺平道路的设计。design意为“设计”,为可数名词作同位语,句中用的单数,前应用不定冠词修饰,design为辅音音素开头,用a修饰。故填a。
37题详解】
考查副词。句意:绿色生态与和谐是主题,最终的结果绝对是惊人的。空后是形容词,所以空处应填副词修饰,absolute的副词为absolutely意为“绝对地”。故填absolutely。
【38题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:由图斯设计集团有限公司设计,这个令人难以置信的海岸线连接项目将湿地作为设计的一部分。本句已有谓语动词uses,所以design用非谓语动词作状语,根据句意以及空后的by可知,用过去分词表被动,所以使用过去分词形式,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Designed。
39题详解】
考查介词。句意:长江也被纳入设计之中。此处固定搭配integrate ... into意为“与……成为一体”。故填into。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:该项目的目的是恢复和改善海岸线,为本地植物、野生动物和想要来这里享受自然美景的人们创造一个家园。空前是形容词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,beautiful的名词形式是beauty。故填beauty。
【41题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:该项目旨在不干扰鱼类的自然模式,并为本地植物提供健康生长的场所。本句已有谓语动词was created,所以grow用非谓语形式,根据句意,此处表目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to grow。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:此外,还有一条隐藏的防洪通道,将海岸线与植物、地形和现有环境相结合。空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,exist的形容词形式是existing意为“现存的”。故填existing。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:行道隐藏在环境中,在行走时创造了更加动态的体验。空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,根据前文的even可知,用比较级形式。故填more dynamic。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:与此同时,步道周围是天然的草和植物,周围景色优美。此处为谓语动词,根据空后的by以及句意可知,surround与主语the walking path之间为被动关系,所以使用被动语态,且该句描述客观事实,用一般现在时,所以该句为一般现在时的被动语态,主语the walking path为第三人称单数。故填is surrounded。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:到处都有公共空间,所有这些都是尊重自然的。 此处是“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,从句缺少介词of的宾语,且指代public spaces指物,所以此处使用which引导,all of which作定语从句的主语。故填which。

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。
As the cold of winter loosened its hold and spring was approaching, I found myself in the quiet process of recovery. The world outside my window, once full of life, now seemed like a distant, unreachable place. Each day was a repetition of the last, a cycle that mirrored my own struggle to regain my strength and find hope in a future that felt dark and uncertain.
One afternoon, as I sat mindlessly by the window, a flash of movement caught my eye-a swallow (燕子) under the roof. It was a delicate creature, with its elegant wings. For a moment, it seemed to look at me, its eyes bright and curious, as if it recognized a fellow soul.
“A swallow,” I whispered, looking at the lovely creature, whose liveliness formed a contrast with the silence of the room.
The swallow’s daily visits became a comforting rhythm, as steady as the dawn’s arrival. Each time it appeared on that branch, it wasn’t just a sign of spring; it was like a friend. I found myself looking forward to its daily appearances. Its presence became a flicker (闪现) of warmth in my otherwise lifeless days.
One day, the swallow was not alone; it had been joined by a mate. Together, they began the merry work of building a nest under the roof. Inspired by their joyful spirit, I decided it was time for me to take control of my own life. I began to set small, achievable goals, mirroring the swallows' tireless work on their nest.
However, life can be unpredictable. Just when the nest was almost done, a storm blew in out of nowhere, tearing the nest apart. I watched from my window, my heart aching for the swallows and their broken dream.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

I was worried I would never see the beautiful creatures come back.

Finally, the swallows’ new nest took shape.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I was worried I would never see the beautiful creatures come back. Unexpectedly, the next morning, as the sun drove away the shadows of the night, I was greeted by the sight of the swallows. They were perched on the branch. They did not let the destruction of their nest prevent them from achieving their purpose. Instead, they started anew. They flew in and out of the courtyard once again, building under the roof. I was so touched by the sight that I had tears of joy and admiration.
Finally, the swallows’ new nest took shape. The swallows’ nest stood as a reminder that even when life throws us off course, we have the power to navigate back to our intended path. The swallows had become more than just visitors to my window; they had become a source of inspiration. As the seasons changed, so did I. In time, the swallows welcomed their young, and I welcomed a new chapter in my life — a chapter of hope, strength, and the unwavering belief that even in the face of adversity, we can rise and rebuild.
